I see
what could also work is glueing good drawing paper to the underside
this trick is done when posters are glued onto cardboard
the tension bends it back
if it bends downards....

... have been sprayed with sealant to discourage warping (though no idea as yet if that'll work or not)....

According to both my reference literature and my experience it should.

I've used a lot of 5mm MDF to make baseboards for terrain and scenery items which I've then liberally covered in wet gloop, PVA, paint etc, and it has never ever warped on me.
It's probably the biggest advantage of MDF over any other kind of timber / fibre based sheet material.
(Well, that and its general convenient 'workability')  ;)

I am really looking forward to seeing this come together. Its a very interesting idea, and looks really well thought out. :)

I agree with Malamute. This is a very novel idea to me.

Whoa, you're going to quick, we can't keep up  :D (well, I can't anyway, it takes me long enough to do anything  lol )

Good work so far and I do like the idea of the 'penny' levels for movement, makes life so much easier *thumbs up smiley*

These will be big, but they will be impressive and as you have pointed out, the ability to combine them in different ways makes them very versatile.
A great project full of good ideas.

Totally inspiring. :) Its looking great already. From your initial drawings I was struggling to imagine how it would- the effect so far is brilliant. :)  I can't wait to see the various options laid out once painted up.
