Heh. Strange choice of materials to be sure. Pics of the 3/4 ply are on page 10, here are some to show what I'm doing with the 2x3. No, I did not plan the wall height to be a match for the 2x3's! But when I laid in the cut to length 2x3, their tops matched the top of the styrene strips perfectly! The roof is large enough to require two pieces and one needs to be removable anyway, so the one 2x3 supports where these two pcs meet. The other 2x3 supports the end of the roof where the second floor starts, and was the easiest, cheapest way to install said support. The 2x3 just sits on top of the plywood backed foundation walls. Here are three pics, one shows the 2x3, the next has the removable roof section in place, the last has both roof sections in place.
