Excellent video. Thanks for all of the tips and tricks. My husband is looking to make an Asphalt Road for his Train & Truck Layout, and this was extremely helpful.
Nice tutorial! Thanks. It looks like it was hard holding onto the stuff while painting it. I have been playing with *removable* glue dots for temporarily positioning track. I’ll bet they would be great for tacking down light material while painting it, so you don’t have to try to hold it in place with your fingers. Hmm… Maybe stick it to a popsicle stick, so you can pick it up, paint the sides, move it, etc., without actually touching it.
Wow! I NEEDED this! My diorama has been on hold for weeks because I need a custom roadway. I couldn’t do the plaster method because the rest of the household is dust adverse. I tried using cork, but spray paint. Too shiny. Perhaps the sponge stippling method could help that. But this Silly Winks stuff is already black, seems more flexible, and WAY cheaper than cork! Thank you! Thank you, Thank you!
Like the result ! You're doing great. It's pretty easy to follow the steps. I will try it and see if I can get close to what you've done. Let's say... it's very realistic ! Keep on your good work.
@@NewHavenRails Hi again, at least we're getting serious with your videos. Is grout sponge is used for a special reason ? Is it because make up sponge has too tight texture ?
Your technique to simulate asphalt is interesting, congratulations. I'm looking for a technique on how to make a flight deck floor with those grooves, if you were going to make this aircraft carrier floor... how would you do it?
Using a sponge for painting is definitely an underutilized technique. I am definitely a beginner when it comes to painting, but a sponge has solved my lack of talent a few times.

Very nice technique to do roads. Enjoyed watching this. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Looks fantastic, excellent work
Great tutorial. Thanks! Looking forward to trying this for my dioramas.

Thanks for your kind words. I will be coming out with Volume 3 of modeling concrete soon with a brand new technique.

nice video, but one thing no one mentions, on a full layout, is how to fill the gaps between foam sheets where they abut.
ron
Great tutorial....will be using this
Glad it was helpful!
I’m loving your tutorials! Very cool! Thanks for doing these!
Appreciate your comment. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Great tutorial and technique. Had not seen this before using hobby foam. Pot Holes R Us :) Well done and thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much! 😊

Nice, looks great. I learned the grout sponge and chalk paint from Jason Jensen! 👍
Cool, thanks!
I have used medium tile grout white in color

I appreciate your comment!
Great tutorial, I’ve never seen that foam before, but Hobby Lobby is close by 😎. What powders are you using in the video? Thank you in advance.
Thanks for your comment! I use the Bragnon powders.
Is the weathering powder just crushed up chalk? (New to dioramas lol)
You could make your own from chalks but I think most are made from crushed pigments. I use the Bragdon powers which work great
@@NewHavenRails thanks!
Is that n scale? I'm new to scratch modeling I run n scale trains I'll definitely be purchasing a few sheets
I model HO scale but the same techniques can be used in N scale.
How did you slice up the grout sponge?
I use a snap blade.
I did my roads the same way, however iam drawing on my cracks and fishers rather then carving them in.
Thanks for your comment. Drawing cracks in works as well.
Clear your throat BEFORE making your video.
