Finally, foamcore pieces glued at 90-degrees to the backside of walls, or complete interior walls, can be used to reinforce  outer walls against warpage.  Of course scrap, sturdy stripwood will also work for reinforcement, too.

 

That's right, I remember that now. On the stuff I made for the grand kids (buildings for stuffed animals, fairly large) I reinforced the the corners of the square parts of the building with strip wood. It was the stuff they have at Hobby Lobby/Michaels and maybe like 3/8"x3/8" or so (been a while). Anyway the pieces that were reinforced were barely (if any) warped. They were also glued solidly to a bottom floor piece. It was the removable roofs that really had the warping, not nearly as much reinforcing there.

I hadn't heard of Taskboard either, will check that out, Thanks.
