Looks pretty sweet! Might have to make that and come up with a cool scenario for it! I have to wonder though if the painting would have been easier if you would have used a spray paint... I have to think it wouldn't have warped like that!
I might try it with spray and I'll let you know! I look forward to seeing the plans!

One word - foamcore.
Oh shoot... is that two?
Foam core board can warp too especially if your paint is water-based. My daughter painted a foamcore cutout costume for Halloween, on one side, with Tempera paint, and it warped. Fortunately, her costume was a strip of Bacon,(to go with my son who was the egg) and bacon always curls up when you cook it, so it was appropriate!
This is very true. This why you paint both sides. As the paint shrinks on the second side it pulls the panel back flat. I did some minor restraightening and you can see in the pictures I got it straight. Not abig deal. I was just warning those who try this project that this happens and there is a way to fix it.
