Unless you are using Chiltern's monsters, which, judging by your photos, you aren't, then you'll find that they do mix in. Not as bulky as BTD but a good match height wise. I have mixed BTD, Artizan and Warlord with my Eureka partisans.

Really love your project.  I was inspired to try and do some sewer segments, not at all happy with the results. I tried PVC/sand to coat the "pink stuff" type insulation foam I used, but it flakes off easily. What did you use to coat/seal the crafting foam?

Hi
In the sewers I glued backing card to all vertical faces the glue I used was white glue called Unibond/PVA , look back through the first picturs on page one.

Is this what you need to know?

Ps All the flat surfaces at the street level are Unibond/PVA and sand.

Thanks! I did PVA+Sand, but I wonder what I did wrong since it's brittle and flakes off if you give it normal game play thumps & bumps.

Have you had luck with a particular brand or type of PVA glue?

I am not Alan, nor do I share his skills.  However, when I use sand and PVA it is important to add a second coat of PVA when the first coat and sand has dried,  This then holds it all in place.  In fact it's almost as strong as concrete when that second top coat dries.

I have no recommendations for PVA, nor can I remember any that have not worked(though there have been a few).

For horizontal surfaces (or those that can be made horizontal) you can follow the railway modeller method of putting the sand down, wetting it slightly with a water sprayer (as used by gardeners) and applying a watered down PVA solution (with a tiny amount of the magic ingredient of washing up liquid) by pipette. It sets like concrete.

An alternative is to mix sand and powdered glue and apply the sprayer over it.
