Making Roads for Gaslands

[@tommyd2235]

Great job. £2 for black and white to cover up £10 black

[@GomiDesigns]

Tommy D to be fair, if I was redoing it today I'd use a £1 rattle can black. I just happened to have the GW can there. It didn't cover very well on the cork.

[@tommyd2235]

Gomi Designs it still turned out well. I’m just bitter on the cost of GW

Thanks for the tutorial! Managed to make a 48” long road in about 8 hours, and this was my first time tackling a project of this magnitude. I’m a beginner.

[@GomiDesigns]

Thanks for the comment. Glad I can help you build

[@paulgibbons2320]

I'm a complete newbie to the miniature table top gaming thing, but I have to say, I'm blown away at the level of inventive, innovative, craftsmanship this community demonstrates. It really is quite impressive. Nice work. Thank-you for sharing!

[@rickardo5529]

Love it!

[@GomiDesigns]

rick ardo thanks. Hoping to bring a new one out some time

[@rickardo5529]

@@GomiDesignsthat's perfect work man, normally it bugs me when people leave the bottoms of stuff unpainted but it's just so dang good it doesn't matter aha.

[@craiggehlert]

good job mate! great look.. now do some off ramps!

[@GomiDesigns]

Craig Gehlert Thanks. Yes I must get on and do another video.

[@karlb6273]

A very nice tutorial. Thank you! A better microphone would be nice, but that’s it. Great job!

[@GomiDesigns]

Thanks. I’m looking at improving sound quality next video

[@paulgibbons2320]

Did you do some corner pieces ?

[@GomiDesigns]

Paul Gibbons not yet. I've been distracted by Dead Mans Hand Wild West scenery. Must get back to Gaslands soon.

[@perhapsyes5745]

I dont think cork breathes, and PVA requires air to dry. Full coverage on the glued piece is usually worse then spaced lines or dots.

[@GomiDesigns]

Thanks. I'm sure other glues could be used. Contact adhesive like evo-stik.

[@brenmayhugh]

Look great - what dimensions were your single and double lane roads?

[@GomiDesigns]

Double lane is 13 inches by 6 inches. And single about 12 by 3.5 inches.
I cut two dual and one single from the mat. But could have done 3 straight across

[@nestor500]

How did you paint the two lane roads? Just more layers? The color is a lot more consistent.

[@GomiDesigns]

I think I did more coats / layers of grey on the two lane. You could give it a coat of Matt spray varnish at the start. As the cork does seem to absorb the paint a lot.

[@BrianWeathersby]

Tim,
Very nice! One suggestion for future videos might be to get a bit better microphone. It was hard to hear you without using headphones.

[@GomiDesigns]

Thanks Brian, I may recreate it with better sound.

[@BrianWeathersby]

I do agree with Dan. It's a nice job, and if I were doing this I would totally steal this idea. You could even put the pieces back together with less distance between them, so as to make it look like a backcountry road that is still in use but not well maintained.
As to the sound, maybe just moving your microphone closer to you would help some.
