Well done.

Love the cracking.

Thanks, it is so easy to do

Thanks, it is so easy to do although I would sand the plaster flat more first next time.

Looks Great

And a whole lot easier that using styrene sheets.

Jack

Great effect

Looks great, Kathy. But the city really needs to do some repair work before someone trips on those flags!

Curved Roadways and Sidewalks

Great idea using the plaster over foam.   Could you show an example of curved roads and sidewalks.

Disrepair

Thanks for all the comments.

I do feel sorry for our little people as to see the cracks we often make them the equivalent of the Grand Canyon!

James - I do have a few more roads to do so will add in some curved sidewalks etc next.

Paints

I see the different paint colors. Who's paints are you using I have not seen smoke, city dirt, other colors you use, or the types of bottles their in?

Thanks Kathy

I have really enjoyed your videos and the method of simulating cracked sidewalks was brilliant!

I have an area where I'm putting an old concrete pad where boxcars are unloaded with fork lifts. I am following your instructions in the video and am really encouraged with how it's going. When I get it done I'll post a picture in this thread.

 Thanks so much for sharing your techniques with us.

Hi

Those are MIG pigments not paints which is why you don't recognise them. I like the chalky finish that they give on top of paint.

Can't wait to see how it comes out

Rick

Thanks a lot. Please do post photos. I'd love to see how your concrete comes out.

In progress

Here's the slab and a picture of where it will be installed. I model a rough area so the slab is heavily distressed.  

Wow!

Rough area is RIGHT! That really captures the heavy industrial, and barely maintained loading area. I'm definitely taking notes on this one! 

I see two or three spots where I would put some filler..... you don't want the Forklift getting stuck in one - or shaking the product off! That hurts your bottom line!

Installed

Here is the concrete pad installed on the layout. 

Mr. Rick - very nice!

I really like your concrete work!
