Asphalt Parking Lot

[nachoman]

When I was in my earliest modeling years (10-14 years old), I was just as interested in making roads and highways as I was trains, perhaps because of my parents' enjoyment of long road trips. It used to bug me when I saw a photo of a layout that had poorly-modeled roads. My biggest pet peeves were a lack of parking spaces and lines and lane markings that did not look like what I saw in real life. Back then I mostly tried using plaster for roads, but I also used dark gray poster board and joint compound. Gary, the 14-year-old in me says you are doing an outstanding job. The increased crack density toward the edges of the parking lot is a fantastic detail, and very observant of the prototype.
