Most model builders have devised their own method for creating roads on their model railway. I used to use Noch roads but because of the cost and my budget I decided to come up with another cheaper way. The roads I make now are made with sandpaper. There are different types of sandpaper, but in general I use black sandpaper with a grit size of 200. Initially the color is a little too dark, but over time the sandpaper collects dust, making it look more natural. I painted some parts with acrylic paint. I make the lines by scratching the sandpaper with a nail and then coloring it with a white or yellow pencil. By the way, I really like the railroad crossing you created.

Thanks! My background is scale models and miniature figure painting, so anytime I can actually paint something on, I love the challenge.

Hey thanks! First time for me too, I say just go for it, if you screw-up, just an opportunity to tear it up and start over!
