Daler&...Thanks, Phil, that's a very good point.<br />Daler's fine as long as you don't use water based paints, risking warpage, but yes, good old card is fine, as it is for buildings, especially if you can get the road from one sheet avoiding joints. No sweat with a car park.

Of course, in my case it is all set-piece based as I don't have space for a layout, but the principals are the same.Oddshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15406048947308249483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4367600670436634226.post-26077619091981867402014-11-23T03:17:26.295-08:002014-11-23T03:17:26.295-08:00Excellent!
