"Cement" colored paint
#17
I make my roads out of plaster of Paris with some craft paint added for color. Right now I'm using Ceramcoat Hippo Gray. I've used other colors in the past and will probably use still other shades of gray in the future. That way all the roads don't look exactly the same color. Here's a road I poured a while before I added the sidewalks. Both the road and the sidewalk are made using the same technique, just different colors added to the plaster of Paris. I decided the sidewalk was too light in color so I used an alcohol/India ink mixture to darken it up. This had the added benefit of bringing out the expansion joints and cracks in the sidewalk.
