Heya guys,

I've just finished painting my first batch of terrain for 40k, which I'm quite happy with. However, I'm stuck on a little something. I've printed out a large number of propaganda posters (kudos for them goes to Gitsplitta from the forums here I believe), but I'm stumped how to attach and weather them to look nice.

Normal glue will make the paper change colour, superglue will leave white ridges on the paintjob and cristalize the paper, and paperglue won't hold fast.

So, any idea's?

Your best bet is to use sandpaper on the back of your posters to get them as thin as possible. Then glue them in place with white glue (Elmer's, or PVA depending on where in the world you are). I'd recommend a watered down coat of white glue on top as a finishing coat.

Maybe try tea, coffee, and burning the edges to weather them, then Modge Podge to plaster them on?

I'd just try using superglue but not right up to the edges. That way it sticks form but doesnt show around the edge of the picture.

I've had allot of luck with pva glue, then give it a few days and hit it with a coat of matte varnish.

Holds it in place perfectly.

Soaking them in watered down PVA clue should work

Thanks for the advice, I'll go with the PVA glue idea, that's the easiest and most feasible. I'll post a picture or two when I've finished my terrain.
