20"x20" boards/sheets?
« on: 18 October 2014, 09:57:25 PM »
Hi, I´m in a kind of trouble! Bought the ´CITY BOARD ROADS AND BUILDING BASES - 285ROAD100´, Without thinking! And now I´m in need something in the exact measure 20"x20"! Where and what to get? Mdf, ply, plastic, steel? Lasercut? Not ably to do it myself (kind of bad at cutting straight, and don´t have the equipment...). Don´t want anything that easy warp! And it don´t have to be supercheap...

No, the nearest hardware store cut "by eye" so to speak, not really exact... Probably need to get it shiped to my door, living out of in the woods...

Its been twenty odd years since in that part of the world.But when I was the marine ply wood we used on the project we had cut into squares free of charge at the local hardware superstore,You are in the land of the midnight flat pack lol.
What ever material you choose will warp if stored badly.So I'd ask a local grown up.
You can add a batton frame to the rear of each board(sort of a picture frame effect on the rear.)Which will reduced warping.

 Sorry posting has gone a bit odd ,modified my reply and it still posted original.
Take a board ,and have them make a template from it.
Or is your geek side the reason you live out in the woods,for fear of being discovered?Or are you Lars Falt?
