I think the woods themselves are fantastic. Love the colors. I think its a shame you used corrugated cardboard for your bases. Not only will it (usually) warp, but the corrugation sticks out like a sore thumb. Can you go back with spackle or something to fill the sides in? The problem is that increases the odds of warping. |

Had some energy to spend on Epic at the weekend but only had this cardboard a no spackle but will do this |

They look good. I agree about the cardboard, but nothing to stop you going back and cutting an angle of the edges + filling in the ends. |

As for warping you can always go back and cut matching linoleum or faux tile sheets and glue them to the bottom. They have enough rigidity to keep them flat but usually just enough give to work well (pretty cheep as in free if you look around. People always have scraps left over  ).I had to fix some hills recently that way. They were made with poster board core layered like a topographical map and I used a different Spackle than normal as fill, evidently with too much moisture, and it was warp city. Instead of throwing them out as losses I tried the above and it worked well. I had to fix a little of the filler where it cracked but saved a ton of time and turned out to be a great fix. Of course, YMMV |

Thanks Jimmy I had similar ideas to keep them flat I did a river over the weekend and it warped too because of the spackel  I also filled and painted the edges of the woods |

Here are the pics of some parts of the river and some ruined cityparts I did 6 long and 2 edge pieces so I can make a river 2.5m long with 2 corners

Thanks boys and both YES wallpaper and Gamecraft. Gamecraft is great, with the cardboard you get a lot of cheap buildings. I placed a new order there, some bridges  some Skyscrapers and the Iraqi Goverment building was also temped to buy the Kabul international Hotel or the Airplane Hangar but resisted. |
