The Kit is Started

This week, the aim was to get started on a kit of modular architectural pieces. This would allow designers to begin construction of the map with pieces the thad some sense of finality. The focus was on the pieces that would be the most universally applicable- walls, doorways and floors/ceilings. Here's a brief selection of the pieces done so far.
