I wasn't quite sure how to hide the oversize PCB pieces on the module board joints that I used to hold the track in place better, so I've decided to hide these by adding a road here.
I used a cardboard sub bed, and on top of that I've glued styrene sheet. After painting this up I'll cut it through the middle using a sharp knife or razor saw, to that the road markings are on that line, hopefully hiding the joint a little.

And to bring you completely up to speed on this project, the road has received it's first base coat of grey paint. I'm also scribing the surface such that cracks in the surface can be simulated, and made more visual after a final wash of black india ink.
