Help using corner panel pieces

[BearHeart]

I’m planning on building a medieval tower fort and I need some help. I’m planning on making the tower three levels high and using corner panel walls (see pic below) on each corner for a total of 12 corner panels.

My problem is that I don’t know how to create a nice, smooth transition from floor to floor because of the irregular shape of the corner pieces. (If I use regular baseplates for floors then there will be a piece of baseplate sticking out in the corner.). I also want to use as few baseplate pieces for each floor as possible, so one big one rather than two or three smaller ones.

I’m looking for ideas to overcome this problem.

PS. I’m dead set on using the corner pieces

Unfortunately, I don't own enough of these pieces :(

You want you use baseplates for the floors? Why not just use large plates? That would be more stable and make your life easier.

Yes, I ment large plates

I see. Well, I only have a few suggestions for you then. Do you have 24 2x2 round plates? If so, you could use two of them to fill the space behind the top part of every corner piece, and on top of those, you could have your "baseplates". That way you wouldn't even have to have anything between the corner pieces. However, if you do want the corner pieces to be one plate height apart, you could use a 1x2 jumper plate to fill the gap. If you want a whole brick height between two corner pieces, you could stick a 1x2 tile horizontally onto the side one of these and put that into the gap with the tile facing outward.

Or you could just go with your initial design where you have plate corners sticking out of the corners of your tower and use those to make brick-built gargoyles. That would be easy to build and would make the facade of your tower look less plain.

I hope that was comprehensible and helped.
