A 28mm modern road - is that so much to ask?

Hello!
Nice post. I have also made some roads but I used leftovers from
desktop (linoleum) in a dark grey colour. It was a god material to form
and looks great when finished. Firstly I made some templates and then
I amplied it on the desktop using a white charcoal.
Look at the pictures below or read more at my blog:

Looks very nice! How did you manage to get them to stay straight?? Not warping, I mean :)

They are quite heavy and when put on the gaming-mat it also fixates.
I also update with some action-pictures.  :)
