Good instructional video

Thanks, Joe. The roads look good. Some time in the near future I will be installing some roads and parking lots on my layout and I plan to watch your video again before I start.

Just my 2¢ worth.

Not sure what you mean by "kids art form". But I bought foam board at Dollar Tree that is 20" x 30" x 4mm thick with paper overlay. I use it as is, do not remove paper. And just paint it. Of course, your video enhances that by a huge margin. So, I can enhance my road the same as you do. I'm sure oil paint or pan pastels can do much the same. But that basic road is still a stiff piece of foam. Easily cut to shape, including curves, etc. And relatively cheap. So thanks for an excellent video.
