A project I've been working on and off for a year or so...never seem to be finished as with most project
Maybe it's because the base warped a bit Anyone got a tip how to straightened again???
The inspiration comes mainly from Stalingrad and the factories there...also got a big chimney made out of pringles pipes.

Looks cool.

Wow! That looks fantastic! A lot of work in there already, would be brilliant to get finished. You could try coating the underneath of the base with PVA to straighten it... This worked on my base for my church (though that was made of 10mm foamex).

Looking good Johnie!

As Mikeland says about the underside of the base. If that doesn't work, try warming it up in an airing cupboard or small room with large radiator - it should straighten when warm enough. Then transfer it to somewhere cold (garage/shed) and nail/pin/clamp it down and leave for 24hrs. That should work. Next time try MDF and chamfer the edges if you use 6mm ( I would use 3mm).

Looks really good, it's incredible how much detail you have put into it already!

Regarding the base, you could cut away the foam core as much as possible, and then do as Paul suggests, and get the thing on an mdf base, which won't warp. You could blend the foam into it with rubble and such.

Thansk for the cred and feedback. I might try the mdf base Sounds really sturdy. I will try to finish it guys...I promise. After all one undercoat and drybrush should do the trick

It really wouldn't be much to finish. Just remember that if you have foam core, then you cannot spray primer! It will eat the foam - learn from my fail.

Looks ace - it sounds really stupid but i love the piles of rubble from the old walls! I've never managed to make anything like that look any good! Can't wait to see it painted.
