Hey Quicky. sorry for my late reply. It's just occured to me that the Tabletop Towns modular hab cubes might also work as interior walls or 3D filler between tiles.  
I think Mortis worked on those, so maybe pick his brain on availability or any pointers for industrial wall textures, if you're serious about papercrafting some blocks or walls.

I still have a bottleneck of designs waiting to be finished and published and I'm working on some tavern walls (shush, at this rate, ready by 2025) - a universal design which can work as an interior and exterior, I hope.

My preference is to make the walls just slightly higher than 25-28mm minis with bases so I settled on 35mm in height (1.4in appx). All other dimensions are 25mm/1in based to match with the game grid. Trial and error led to reducing all dimensions by a couple of millimetres to prevent culmilative gain in length when many boxes are put side by side (i.e. the boxes don't spill over the sacred flagstone grid).

I say all this because if you wanted to make some space blocks it's pretty easy to track down some cuboid nets with tabs and stretch them to fit the dimension.  Much like Lego, the 2x4 ratio is the most useful block for making walls, with gaps for doors (in this case 1inx2in at the base), however, I think the L-shaped pieces are good for delineating massive rooms by just representing the corners - ideal for battlemat gamers.
