thanks again got the plaster of paris it really works great

[Gustavflyer]

@patrickd7794 That is great buddy,,,so glad to be able to help,,,one thing I do is to get the roadway wet or moist even and then just sprinkle the paris down the center to make that gravel you see accumulated in the middle of a dirtroad, you can also sprinkle it on the sides too,,,,once you paint it go back and drybrush it with a lighter shade of your base coat, you will be amazed how the "gravel" will come out then ;)

hi i am new at all this and i was just wondering what you used to make the road

[Gustavflyer]

@patrickd7794 Hey buddy, on this one I used plaster of paris and textured it to make the road, then while the road was still wet, I sprinkled it with plaster of paris to simulate gravel and rocks..real easy to do but it can get messy! It is fun though, give it a try!

where can you buy the modle houses

[Gustavflyer]

@sajos32l The house if a product from Britains toy soldier company, it is their Springhouse that goes with their Civil War soldiers, sierratoysoldiers may have one.
