    By far the best and most detailed model road I've seen constructed. Thank you!

    Just discovered your channel. This is the first video I have viewed, and I immediately subscribed at its conclusion for you have some mad skills. The road looks incredible. I appreciate your sharing the knowledge you have acquired with me, and other complete strangers. I did learn a few things, and I will be applying that newly acquired knowledge to the layout I am ever so slowly working on currently. Once, I have completed this layout, I feel that I will attempt to tackle a more serious layout in regards to realism, and for that, I may very well follow your method to a tee. Thanks again, and I look forward to viewing more of your videos!

    Dear KRPmodels, saw your vid several times now, may even have commented before. Anyhow, on the way you’ve shown the process of using the Smooth-It I humbly think your video is one of the best, or indeed the very best in sharing the appropriate method of the application of this product. Your emphasis on pouring the right amount of material is very much on point. Also, the way you first give a rough ‘scrape’ and later return with a finer ‘scrape’ is indeed the best way to go. Aware of general characteristics of stucco products, I’m wondering if a slight wetting or fine sponge may further help improve the final ‘scrape.’
    Love the way you did the road color, the gutters, striping, decals and weathering. Definitely looks the part, great model of a North American ‘stroad.’ Cheerio

    Great job with the markings, seems like you know a little about the MUTCD (manual uniform traffic control devices). you ever worked for traffic control department at a municipal agency or TC contractor. Good eye on the traffic signal inductance loops, you plan on installing a 6 phase traffic signal at the intersection? really nice elongated cracks too, looks really good, perhaps some alligation cracking too would add some interest. I'm definitely gonna borrow your tips to my road installs. keep up the fantastic work.

This technique also works very well for casting rocks. The best part is if there's ever an accident (chipping the plaster by dropping an Xacto knife, or cracking) there is no embarrasing white gap!
