@sundancer ah!  sticking paper is a pain… when I helped my dad build model railway stuff, we would have made buildings from card and special paper that had brick or stone or roof tiles printed on them…(the only wargaming company i can think who do something similar is Sally 4th, who have print outs you can stick to their MDF buildings and look amazing)… anyway, after gluing that card and paper used to be put under a load of Encyclopedia Britannica to weigh it down and it was left for weeks, if not months before it was used, which is possibly the reason I leave things to dry for much longer than I really need them to do.

The only thing I think helps is to let the glue soak a little into the paper before you put it down, similar to letting wallpaper paste soak into the paper before you put in on the wall.
