Building a Module; CAT Equipment Rental Building
#6
I started on the roads for the Module. I laid a 5" wide strip of road in front of the Rental Building (2 lane road and a center divider). I also added the sidewalk in so I could lay the sidewalk on top of the road to create a curb. I made the 2 driveways by cutting the ends of the sidewalk at a slant.

I found that with the Woodland Scenics Smooth-It its best to do a rough first coat and then mix up some more and do a finishing coat. The second coat smooths out any bumps cracks and air bubbles that were left from the first coat. When laying a strip of road this wide you have to section it off into 2 strips with the paving tape so that is why the gap is in the middle of the roads. It is easy filled in with the second coat of Smooth-It tho and you cant even tell it was there after painting. Here's some pics:

As you can see I added the sidewalks right on top of the roads to make the curb.
