With foam board warping is usually caused by the paper, with paper only being on one side of what I'm doing I found that if you coat the paper side with watered down PVA glue it minimizes the warping. Also once the two pieces are glued together they seem to keep each other fairly straight.
Progress... I plan to do more building than painting for a bit so I can get into some of the assembly challenges I will be facing and work on overcoming them. I carved and glued the interiors for both the dock doors, countersunk magnets in the corner then as a test went ahead and set the three walls I have constructed up to see where I'm at, I took a few pics to share with all of you.
I think I'm going to work on something to cap the corners and seems in the finishing steps, balsa maybe? Anyway, next thing I'm going to work on is the first floor panel then my roll-up doors. Had to scrap the door I made it didn't roll tight enough for the size of dowel I plan to use. I have an idea but I will need to be much more careful and patient than I was with the first door I constructed.
Hope everyone is enjoying the build and scheming of builds of their own!
