Thank you Joe. I like your roads too. How do you like working with the foam core? It’s a nice finished product.

Thanks Country Joe. Just for info, I get my foam boards in the art department at WalMart. Easy to work with.

Most of my roads are straight so I just measure the width and use a steel straight edge as my cutting guide. There is almost no mess and no power tools are required.

The dollar store only sells black or white, no other colors, and the black has white foam. It's also not the same quality as what is sold in WalMart of Michael's so I rarely use it.

For roads I use roofing tar paper. very easy to cut and work with. For sidewalks I use wood and paint it with textured rattle can spray paint.

"Brian, how did you join the seams of the shingles?"
Forrest, the key to this was the black singles. They match to each other and you cannot detect the seams. We had so much roadway to do and it was the perfect solution for us. I would use the same product again if I had to do a do-over (not thinking of that).
Thank Elizabeth for this idea.
