You said (someone...said) Futuristic structures... What would the NAC 
and Japan have on its bigger (read as important) planets and on 
Earth, Arcologies.

Ohh. Not all that big. Say a 6x8 dirtside table. I figure a smallish 
one would occupy about...oh 6"x10" or so and be 8" high (Hitomi says 
they are 800 Meters high but with the extra width at the base and the 
slope 6x10x8 seems right)...

You could build levels or sections that are removed to represent 
parts of the structure...A really big one ) would take half the 
table....Yah know, I really ought to take my own advice and build a 
few of these....Its really just a bunch of half circle levels and a 
front mirror....
 
Now, I wonder where I can find a Briarios figure for 
Stargrunt....perhaps kit bash some power armour?
