I currently use sheet styrene sold for model building for bases, but it's a little more money than I would like to spend for large projects, and usually comes in smaller sheets. But now you've got me thinking, I might look into other PVC, styrene, or plastic options from a local industrial supply ditributor from which I've previously bought large sheets of rubber magnet (for bases of figures and movement trays.) <br /><br />Beautiful work on your blog! I've just added it to my Feedly reader. Still trying to catch up on gaming blogs after Google Reader disappeared with my old feed.

Also (and this is probably a bit late) is you are still after a thin, non-warping basing material I can heartily recommend foamex (<a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3mm-A4-210mm-x-297mm-Matt-White-Rigid-Foam-PVC-sheet-Foamex-/251528633279?hash=item3a90465bbf" rel="nofollow">EXAMPLE</a>). Admittedly it is not the cheapest of materials (although I'm guessing you'd be able to get two road section out of a single a4 sheet), but it does have distinct benefits: <br /><br />1. It does not warp at all. I have even used 2mm for scenery projects and seen no warping. The only time it has occured is when I left a sheet to dry in very hot sun and even then it was minimal. <br />2. It can be cut cleanly and easily with a craft knife. <br /><br />All the <a href="http://drumsdeep.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Scenery" rel="nofollow">scenery</a> on my blog is based on foamex, for reference. My only other advice would be to light sand the surface you want to work on to ensure paint/glue/whatever bonds. Anyway, I look forward to watching this project progress!Garethhttp://drumsdeep.blogspot.co.uk/noreply@blogger.com
