I used 5/16th" rolled cork to make the sidewalks. I experimented a bit with the best way to put in the crack lines. I tried cutting out individual blocks and giving the edges a slight bevel, vs cutting in the groove with a wood burner. The wood burner is easier, but the individual blocks has the best look. I'm still undecided on which I will use in the other boards.
The roads are drywall compound smoothed over the Homasote in the areas where the roads go. Curbs are thin strips of cork with one edge rounded.

To remedy that, I made some to be cast and installed at a later time. I guess its good I have construction barriers planned then! Also starring in these pictures is my homemade street light. I'm going to cast the base, I just haven't decided if I should just cast the whole thing or not. It still needs some work, anyhow.
Go build something,

Everything looks great together, I don't know if you have one planned or not but how about a fire hydrant.
ReplyDeleteThat looks great. Seeing your sewers etc trashcans might be a good idea.
ReplyDeleteYep guys both of those are planned. Heres the full menu of extras:
