Mind you, I've been surprised at some of the things that make my own blog's "most viewed" list. Perhaps that could be the basis for an article in itself: "What makes a blog post popular?"Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-62848133411714872652013-03-03T18:13:36.015+00:002013-03-03T18:13:36.015+00:00I don't think it was moisture from glue that w...I don't think it was moisture from glue that warped the structures. Rather it was the cardboard tubes' natural tendency to "unroll" when they were no longer whole.

When I made mine I noticed that the "curved" sides are not exactly semi-circular but are made up of 12 angled straight pieces. This meant that I could use mounting board for the "curved" sides and is how I was able to make the "roof" detachable and add interior detail. From a distance it looks like the sides are curved but when you look closer you can see that they aren't. Food for thought, perhaps?<br /><br />Many thanks for the blog mention. Incidentally, that review is one of the top ten most popular posts of my blog.

Have you thought about printing to adhesive sheets? The only draw back I could see is if you had trouble lining things up and they got stuck on crooked. Otherwise it would get rid of the moisture warping problem form the glue. In the end they came out looking good though.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428727065347379281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-76398592880836841902013-03-03T16:37:17.138+00:002013-03-03T16:37:17.138+00:00Seems to work just fine now.
