[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by AntonioFP45 You can purchase "pre-made" road material already with stripes. I think Volmer is one of the companies. Check the Walther's Catalog at your LHS.[/quote] I tried some of that stuff once, but I found it to be too narrow. My approach is to buy a few packs of Evergreen sheet styrene*, cut it to the shape of my desired pavement surface, apply a base coat of reefer gray, then spray a light dusting of grimy black. Once that dries, apply Microscale dulux gold (a.k.a. "yellow-orange") and/or white striping decals, whatever is required (centerline -vs- shoulder boundary). I prefer decals because they are easier to move into the correct position -- I'm too lazy to bother with masking. * Styrene is better than cardboard because it doesn't wrinkle when water-based acrylic paint is applied.
