Could anyone be so kind to give me the dimensions on the FW road pieces? And perhaps a reference to look up or catalogue to look for... Cheers, Thomas |

What? He just wants dimensions. No resin involved. Yet. |

Ah. Yes, of course. The square sections are 80mm on edge; the 'straights' are 80 x 160mm |

Project Otterroad was abandoned right? |

And yes, there will be resin involved! I've have commissioned myself to make some terrain pieces for a local resin caster while I'm unemployed, so I hope to churn out some decent stuff, starting with things I need for my own terrain projects but resembling some of the old FW stuff. Halfway done a monolith and are sketching some imperial plaques and now roads... That's also why I'm looking for source material, like which FW catalogue to look for on eBay. |

I remember that some time ago someone posted the plastruct or evergreen references needed to build some Epic FW roads. Unfortunately, I could not find the refs anymore :| |

I have some Slater sheets that would do well for paving, and I reckon legally it won't be a problem since it's a generic product, but would like to hear from you guys if you think otherwise? |

Yen and I did a road experiment once, in the emulate-Forge-World spirit. It was quite straightforward, but I could never figure out how to replicate their road surface texture. We settled on some cork sheet that had been sprayed with Citadel Rough Spray. |

I think you can reproduce the road surface with the plastruct sheet Asphalt or Concrete (PS165 or PS166) in Plastruct catalog. Gutter is surely a deep channel (UFS-2). Border of Pavement can be done with some plain square tube The only thing I can't find in this catalog is the sidewalk textured sheet that reproduces the FW one. Edit: some interesting embossed plasticard sheets in this slatersplastikard pdf. |

I used a scribing tool for the lines on the sidewalk. Edit - and thanks for the info about the Plastruct sheets! I never noticed those, even being in possession of their mighty catalog. |

Thanks guys! I was gonna make the surface from model train road, basically textured film, the pavement from a slater sheet and do the border with gs. Now I might have to rethink some of it, but again I'm not making replicas, so... |

Mate, Use wet and dry sand paper of a fine grade and you will hit the mark. We did it here a few years ago for my city scape terrain boards. Also we drilled at even intervals and inseted pins to use the heads as catseyes. Cheers Aaron |
