I have often wondered why honeycomb grid of aluminum or plastic might not be used for modular layout surface. This company has aluminum surfaced honeycomb grid and can custom manufacture (if a great grid was designed, perhaps a mass order could be made then distributed to all interested parties with some cost savings. I used light diffuser grid panels for an indoor LGB layout for a restaurant. If the plastic florescent light diffuser grids were surfaced on the top with an aluminum thin panel, the entire unit would be stiff, light, and easy to store indoors or outdoors. Designing a leg or support system would be key to making this work well. I envision legs with a wide top with four pegs similar to Lego interlocking blocks that would plug into the honeycomb snugly.

So strength is not a problem if you select for the correct stiffness and strength for the application. http://panelteccorp.reachlocal.com/coupon/?scid=73961&cid=12080&tc=060117164 80107727&kw=925775&dynamic_proxy=0&primary_serv=panelteccorp Like John of Medford, OR I am mulling over ideas.
