Making Roads
« on: 07 February 2015, 09:00:20 AM »
Hi!

I'm sure it's been done before, but I haven't read about it yet: making roads using the 'mat technique', that is slathering acrylic mass unto a piece of cloth. Well, I tried it and it worked a treat. The results also look nice, if I say so:



This of course opens lots of possibilities… I've already started to make wood bases and plan to make a beach section.

Cheers

Good stuff. They look very decent!

Planning something like this soon meself. It's highways and byways for me at the moment.

Any problems with them curling up?

No problems at all with curling or wrapping. The are very flexible, quite similar to the latex roads I bought some time ago.
