Curling is always going to be a problem when working with PVA, but in addition to what you said what you can do is to brush some PVA on the bottom to curl it back it is the most straightforward fix but adds a lot of drying time to project that is otherwise quite fast.

Curling isn't even limited to PVA, the problem isn't necessarily the glue but rather what you're glueing... anything absorbent can warp, be it paper products, wood, or probably certain foams. One fix I have found with thin wood (another hobby hack - use craft store wooden nickels as mini bases) is to lightly soak it in water & then give it a thin rubdown of clear gorilla glue on both sides (1 at a time, but apply to side 2 while side 1 is 1/2-1/4 dry). The gorilla glue lacks tackiness making it less messy, but also lets's you apply weight directly to the bases part way thru without it sticking to whatever heavy thing you're using. Once dry, the nickels stay flat but won't warp on additional applications of PVA, super, or gorilla glue.

I knew I was forgetting another way to solve this problem! It's not a method I've ever tried myself, thank you!

Really good looking objective markers 😊

Thank you!

The curling problem, you could try cheap painters caulk, but the cheapest around here is $5-$8 for 1 tube. But you can mix sand and stones in and paint and that should stick without shrinkage and then painting is normal for it too

[@green_zebra_crafting]

I should definitely try that next time! I agree, I usually avoid using caulk due to the cost when making single pieces of terrain, but for a project like this that makes several pieces I reckon I could be satisfied with how much gets used and not too sore if there's any unused portion forgotten and left to dry

I'm thinking that jeep toy could be converted into an Ork Trukk (or any other Ork vehicles)

[@green_zebra_crafting]

You're right, I wasn't even thinking about orks with this thing! I actually really love some grot artillery, it may get cut in half (thirds?) and used as the platforms for a few mek guns.

@@green_zebra_crafting That would be pretty cool
