Boring post alert!
In my continuing drive to save money and scratchbuild my own scenery, I cadged an off-cut of roofing felt from my neighbour and cut it up to make some road sections.
I drybrushed the roofing felt with grey paint (left over from an old tester pot) and them drybrushed down the middle of each strip with the brown paint I do my bases with (tub courtesy of Giles).
While the paint was still damp I then rubbed in a little green scatter from my basing pot and will try to seal it on with my trusty Matt varnish spray in the near future.
The felt didn't go as far as I thought it would, only producing two long strips, a T-junction and a couple of bends, but it'll do for now, and at any rate it's better than the strips of grey felt I hurriedly cut up for the last Brink of Battle skirmishing session I put on!
it looks pretty good, great idea!

DeleteThey look good. I have seen several others use roofing shingle for roads. Very effective.
