Hey miniwargaming dave,
I am from australia and i am wondering where i can get some foam board. I have so far made my game board terrain from cardboard and tape. You probobly do’t know where to get it because you dont live in australia but do you think i could get it from a post office or something? Oh yeah can you check out my gameboard vid? Thanks JOE:)

There are two ways to avoid spraypaint melt on styrofoam:

1. Krylon has a new water based spraypaint out called Krylon H20. You can safely basecoat foam with this.

2. Use household latex paint and a brush. Buy a one gallon can of offwhite paint and after you’ve assembled your pieces, grab a cupful, dilute a bit with water and use a big brush to cover everything.

Hey I think You really do a good job.
I found your website on Youtube. I´m German, but I could easily understand what You said.
I´m impressed. Good work.
(Maybe you could make some videos of Warhammer Fantasy, that would help me a lot)

You’ve brought up a good point. Cheap dollar store PVA will sometimes have a tendency to yellow over time. We’re talking years though.

As for myself, being a scrounger at heart, I usually go for the most cost effective alternative when it comes to materials. Used, discarded, free, however I can get it.

I would suggest however that if you are are making a more prestigious project, whether it be a building or unique landscape, I’d go with the more expensive glue. Take no chances if you’re putting a lot of time on it…that’s my thinking.

For all other projects, go with the cheapy glue.

Nice list.

Regarding your dollar store PVA, are you concerned with it’s ability to last over time? I have a bottle of Lineco neutral ph PVA from back in my bookmaking days. It has an $8 price tag on it, for an 8oz bottle. Have you ever experienced any yellowing from cheap glue?
