Hmm... Those are some nice models but why does it say "HÄLT" on the barrier? :) It should be "HALT", "HÄLT" would mean "is stopping" instead of "stop!"

lol ... you are entirely correct ... the two dots (the whole word) is burned into the wood ... I'll be fixing that ASAP! :-)

Also letting 4Ground know so they are aware ... I was just filling in the lines ;-)

Love your checkpoint! Little things like this breath life into any battlefield.

They are from Rick's Scenics (http://ricks-scenics.com/).  A bit pricey ... but the guy is local for me (in California).  The roads come like this (I repainted mine):



An alternative would be Wizard Kraft Terrain who also does similar type cobblestone roads at 1/2 the price (http://wizardkraft.net/Terrain/).

Thanks for the two links.  I may have to give those roads a closer look.  The shipping is a bit steep for a small order though.

He may be flexible on that ... I'd drop him an email to see what he can do for you.

That does look great. Crying out for a Steve McQueen on a BMW figure.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo
