Cityscape question
Posted by dochooter on Monday, March 2, 2009 2:07 PM

I am using Superstreets and would like to find something the same thickness to made a road go up to it and then maybe double it to use as a side walk.  

Anyone have an easy idea?

Thanks in advance

You could probably find some foam core at an office supply or craft shop that would match in height.

Masonite may be a good option.  Sidewalks are typically 6" above the street, so 1/8" would be a good once you jatch the Superstreets height.

Thanks.  I will look into both of those options.  I had thought I had heard of some one using cork roadbed but I can not find the thread.  I tried using thin insulation foam for a section but ulitmately it was too thick.

I'm not 100% certain on this but I think the roadbed thickness is about equal to 5.2mm luan board available at Lowes.
