Looking good brother thank you for sharing

[@ruatrainman2]

Thank you buddy, I appreciate it.

Looks like a real road and marking. Great job. Bob

[@ruatrainman2]

Thank you Bob, I appreciate it buddy. Dave B.

Looks good! A lot, lot, lot of work doing all that masking for the lines of the road, but certainly is worth it in the end.

[@ruatrainman2]

Yes it was a lot of work, but my old diorama had stickers from Hiways and Biways, and they peeled up pretty bad. Not to knock them they are great for styrene roads but not so good for the color foam I use. Hopefully I don't mess up and ruin the whole diorama though lol.

That looks great. That's how I was thinking of doing the striping on my roads.

Blue painters tape has less adhesion but it is still recommended for no bleed through. Less adhesion, easier to pull off.

[@ruatrainman2]

Hi Roy, yes you are right, I had the regular stuff on hand, but will use the blue painters tape next time.

Looking good, Dave! Is the masking tape a particular brand or just cheap dollar store stuff? Thanks for sharing! - Brian

[@ruatrainman2]

Hey Brian, Thanks buddy. Actually it's the scotch brand at nearly $4 a roll. The blue painters tape would have been better, as pointed out by Roy. Thank you for watching. - Dave
