KP
I'm gonna try this when I make Roads on the New Layout. Thanks.
Literally the perfect demo video for my layout progress, I am just about to do my first roadway. Thanks Ken!!!
Thanks Ken ! I will use your method and materials on my roads. This will be fun and not too difficult -- I hope!
Great video Ken! I wasn't sold on the roads until you did the alcohol and India ink. That's how I always did my plaster roads. I think I'll be trying this out. Thanks again,
Ben
Outstanding show! I love how you did the roads! It is just amazing! Mr. Patterson is just the best teacher in the hobby! Just saying!! "The Best Hobby In The World" MoPac Jack
Thank you for this highly informative episode Ken. I learned alot of useful info for when I make roads for my future layout someday.
Cool vid Ken! I use joint compound for my cement modeling. It cracks a bunch but just come back and add a bit more and it looks great. Cheers, Dan
Danny Holt Where it cracks is a perfect spot to do a patch job!
Ken, it was a great idea to reprise this video. I was interested to learn about the concrete patch product, as I would never had expected it to be as flexible when cured as it is. Looks like the time involved is well invested.
That was a brilliant video, love the how to ones.
Best material I have seen yet for roads. Very nice viewing your video. great techniques. Thanks for sharing it.
THANK YOU...for sharing. Like these how-to videos.
What a good throwback! Maybe you should have occasional "Throwback Thursdays" and upload snippets like this one! Love the roads Ken! -SC
Great looking roads!! Thanks!
Wow, an episode I must have missed, thank you for the re-run, didn't catch the materials Jeff Otto used, I know it's extra work but could you please include a materials list in future segments like this, I'm sure it will be appreciated by all.
Your road looks great! I’m using this technique on next diorama I build.
I used this technique to make my roads on my n scale layout. thanks so much for the tips.
...looks like vintage now! Great surprise!! thanks
Really great tutorial, but one thing I noticed, on a two lane bi-directional road system the skips should be yellow, not white. only time the skips are white is if the direction of traffic are the same. everything else was very useful information and I thank you for some really good ideas. I'm also in the process of placing some roads in my layout and will try the concrete patch instead of the joint compound. That works too but when dry is very brittle and tends to crack. Thank You
Awesome technique for roads, took notes!
Great! Old school how to! Thanks Ken.
Beautiful work ken
That was awesome, you mentioned rc cars on the roads, would you have a video of them? I’m interested in seeing that.
Cool technique!
I like to just do them on the foam base of the layout. Don't need any patch or anything like that, just acrylic paint, a xacto knife, and some chalks.
Some interesting scenery tips.
Wow! I love the roads!
Great video and what seems like a fantastic method for roads. I only wish I had seen this 2 months ago.
But the center line should be yellow on your road (MUTCD Section 3A.05)
Ok, this is the second episode of what’s neat I’ve watched. The first was the episode the visit the Colorado Model Railroad museum. Although I found the computer controlled stuff interesting I found the host to be, well, annoying. I had almost wrote of this channel because of that, but I gave it a second try with this video. Glad I did, this production was much better and the same guy that was annoying before was completely different in this episode. The how to segment was worth the price of admission and I’ll look to see what’s next. Good job on the video, keep up the solid work.
Great video guys are there going to be any more tips and tricks in doing scenery? I have just about finish laying rail and could use some of your expert advice ken love the show. Joe from Aus down under.
I wonder if the Concrete Patch method would work for 1950s city streets? I think in the 50s most city streets were concrete. I did make a master for sidewalks and curbs so I can cast those in resin or Hydrocal.
now this i like to see. a how to for making roads.. so time time time, Did you say radio controlled vehicles for scenery i have to say.. you just dump, and things all look great. nice project, that we will all need to do at some points.. thanks Ken
Here's the thing - you don't over-do it. When you start getting super realistic (expialidocioucs) then the eye comes to expect the whole thing to be super realistic, which it can't be therefore your eye "kind of" catches that something isn't right. You have a good balance here, which is something to keep in mind.
What a talent. Great scene.
That's a great technique for making roads. I've used the same one before on my layout. But let me ask you: Why did you seal the cracks? I left them on my layout and even accentuated some of them as they made it look a bit more realistic (roads around here are not that smooth).
Great video
Road are really nice. Good ideas! But the prep for the white stripes in the road is too much for a hyper- guy like me. Patients is a virtue.
River City MOVERS I’ll do what the county Road Dept. does... make stencils and use that white Sharpie.
The center stripe should be yellow unless it is a one way road
Morgan Pavia I’m a truck driver and missed that! (hangs his head in shame) Wonder if he’ll put in No Passing lines...
That’s what I thought
Great technique, but DAP is not readily available in the UK, I need to find an alternative (Tarmac Wet Mix Ready Mixed Concrete 8kg is the nearest I can find)
Really good idea! $20 will get you a lot of road!
Very nice movie I like it😊
thank you very much for the great execution of a brilliant road making. however your road with white stripes in the middle and not yellow is ONE WAY ROAD? is it the intention? if so where is the coming back road?

Sharpie paint markers' quality have seemingly declined over the last few years, often releasing puddles of paint all at once. However, Michaels sells a brand of paint markers called Posca that work really well, and they are available in an array of colors with various sized tips. The large size has a tip between 1.8 - 2.5 mm, the medium has a tip 0.9 - 1.3 mm, and the small has a tip of 0.7 mm. If you want paint markers to paint road markings, or any other finely detailed images, or to use with small templates, give Posca paint markers a try . . . just make sure you grab the right color for some of them are not color-coded that well.
Hey Ken can I get mentioned in the new episode yesterday was my birthday and I am a huge supporter
Awesome!!!
Great roads. I’ve used the same technique, but why did you patch the cracks? When I made my roads, I left the crack, and even accentuated some of them in the weathering process. The roads around my home are certainly not as smooth as yours are. :)
So it sounds like you like this better than something like drywall compound because this stuff isn't as brittle, is that right? Thanks! (I have used drywall mud before, and like everything about it except how easily it cracks and the dust it creates if you end up needing to sand it)
i think im gonna choose this concrete for my next crossing project instead of using woodland scenics "smooth it"?????... the smooth it is a little "gummy" and doesn't smooth out as well as the concrete in the vid appears to.. also the smooth it doesn't nave the natural "concrete road" color... nice vid
anoher question for my fellow aussies, anyone know what the australian equivilant to the DAP readmix concrete patch may be ?
well I tried gyprock cornice cement. It seems to be a close match to ken's DAP product. in consistancy and it has xracked as it dries. still to do a 2nd coat. thanks ken !
Did you upload this video last year
22 000 views a month. wow Ken that is amazing.. Now only if everyone would subscribe to your channel so they don't miss any bonus videos you do.
Do you use non-water proof or waterproof India ink for roads and structures?
For me....I use liquid shoe polish mixed with Alcohol. Just a few drops will do you.
Most primer paint I've used is not water proof. Metal primed an not finished will rust through. Your wood may still get wet.
Is this concrete patch material heavy?
Chart pack tape works for lines.
the "turnout guy" mentions a frog, s there alink to them ?
Think I would leave the cracks looks just like the roads around our house. LOL
Hope you have good ventilation. Alcohol burns hot with an almost invisible flame. Please keep a fire extinguisher close.
Todd Holzwarth Worry wart. If you are careful, and keep FLAMES away where’s the danger? Alcohol is poison, shouldn’t he be wearing a Tyvec suit?
January of 2019 and this video is 360 k. Unbelievable.
makeup sponge works for the lines even better
I used plaster of paris
HI KEN MY NAMES IS RANDY AND I AM BUILDING MODEL HO SCALE AND I AM MODEL MONCTON GORDON YARD AND MY SIZES 8 F X 9F X 110 1/2 AND I AM A BIG FAN SD70ACE CN THANKS FRIENDS RANDY
How do I send YOU a picture?
BTW I don't subscribe to Facebook so I can't send that way.
Silly me!! I Finally read the information Above!
#63.5 IS Sept 2016.
Cost of this product is now $36.00 a gallon on Amazon…wow 😵💫
New video is a old video, what happened???
Where did the fake fur come from?
Charlie Rumsfeld Go to a fabric store. Even Walmart carries it.
What happened to dirk
He has been attacking manufacturers on Facebook because of where they manufacture their product. I seen a pretty rude thread he was involved in on the Rapido page. I would imagine it is something to do with that.
I ran into Dirk at a train show in Indy last year and he said he wasn't involved with Ken's videos anymore. Didn't say why. He does roam around as a vendor at the train shows in his area.
$200? forget it!!!!
