- building roads in wargaming are normally over looked like using sand paper or roofing felt using these never have the road camber and always look strange. adding the camber and metrials that arnt 2 course make a far better looking wargaming road and its very simple and quick

Luke you really need to wear a respirator when you are spraying. You'll end up with alsorts of breathing problems if you don't
Thought the exact ae thing. Seriously, not good for you man!
Inhale it while you can. Be the rebel that likes the fumes.
I was just coming to the comment section to say the very same thing
Quick tip for you: To remove hot glue from anything, use isopropyl alcohol as it will cause the hot glue to get mushy and lose its adhesiveness.
Epic Gaslands board when?
I second this motion.
Yeah, what he said.
My nose would hate me if I wore no mask like that. :'D
Looks freaking amazing!
Indeed, my eyes were watering watching Luke spraying for so long inside like that
Well done for pointing out what has always put me off about modern roads in minis, but I could never quite pinpoint 😅
Looks so much better with a curve to it, and the edges are very nice.
Looks fantastic will defos use this. Love to see all kinds of roads as they are the scariest bits of terrain
Ahhh the beginning of a messy tabletop, I saw that overspray onto your nice new desk ;-). Nice vid dude
@@GeekGamingScenics spirits to the rescue :-)
Nice, I have to do some roads for my WWII stuff and this will work nicely, also will be possible to fade it from my dirt roads to tarmac.
Dude, that has to be the most realistic road that I have ever seen! Thanks for showing your technique.
Cheers Luke, you are consistently marvelling at how old and new ideas should come together, and one reason I keep watching even though I'm not into building table as such.
That looks awesome buddy, love your vids, keep up the great work.
This is really cool! I love the simple approach for the bendyness
in the road and how well it works.
That looks awesome!! Great video!!
REALLY looks great. Brilliant work!
This is excellent! Love it, looks great!
This was a very interesting watch mate and definitely, if its something you want to do, some motorways and road markings would be great.
It's amazing how a road, for something visually so deceptively simple, makes the table look like it is a part of a wider (modern) "world" around it, while still a super useful piece of "terrain"; open ground, or chuck some burnt-out cars on it for LoS blocking. A tutorial on a modern roadway (overpass?) Would be super useful for my games of This is Not a Test and Gaslands! :)
I for one would love to see more road examples, including a modern road
A highway overpass that's taken an artillery hit
@@Serpsor Or a post-nuclear hellscape!
Awesome looking road. Some great tips there that I hadn't heard of before....thanks Luke
This is brilliant! Beautiful work!
Splendid work on the road, impressive attention to details....Congrats!👍👍
Very impressive techniques. The results were outstanding! Thanks for sharing!
Would love to see a motorway mate, nice work as always
That was so satisfying to watch & what a great end result! At the end I was imagining bolt action tanks rolling down that road. Great stuff 👏🏼
Absolutely stunning work Luke
What you did here is amazing....i do hope you do more types of road's...thank you ...for sharing this way!!
Awesome Luke, love your tutorials mate 🥳👍
Brilliant! Love it, mate. I've been working on cambered roads, but your method stomps on mine, and as for the road surface, I really like your method.
Really good video mate, great technique and awesome information, would love to see more but this was fantastic.
Thank you so much for the tutorial. I actually use your techniques for model railroading because of your durable builds. I would love to see more road types in the future
Looks grand, mate. Really like how it all tied in with the terrain at the end. I'd like to see how you tackled a motorway/big A road
Thanks Luke Towan...Sorry wrong Luke. Honestly man, I have been watching you for a long time and you never cease to amaze me. Not only with the builds and guides but with the presentation and editing. Very well done.
Decent! Here was me going to use some fine grade sandpaper for a Porsche dio that I'm doing as a Christmas present!
Looks amazing, seeing how you would tackle more modern roads or surfaces like concrete would be brilliant!
Perfect! I needed a starter for my gundam display! A road display is perfect. Havent seen anyone else do roads!
Id love to see a more modern road, with all the markings and everything. Id also like to see how you would tackle a curve in the road using these techniques, or a 4 way intersection. If youre feeling masochistic, maybe a roundabout?
Awesome, I would love to see more road building vids.
Awesome! Gonna try this to make roads for my christmas village
One of your best vids mate. LOVE it!
Also, please do some 6mm scenery.
Cheers.
Great looking modern road mate!
Nice road dude! Love to see it, and like you said, the edges look awesome!
I'd love to see you make a road thats a bit more worn down next time. Like an old abandoned tarmac road with deep pot holes, and plants pushing through.
Great video mate looks great
So many awesome tips, thanks for the vid!
Looks stunning!
Man, Luke, I am just continually blown away at your work. I'd love to see your take on muddy or dirt track roads that you'd see in historical or fantasy game boards.
dats a good road m8!
Nice. I always think that the sign of a really fun country road (at least in terms of driving on it or it leading somewhere) is one that has grass in the middle, grown up on all the horse shit and stuff over the years.
Dear Luke, fekking outstanding Mate! You have totally nailed it! I really would like to see how you would build modern roads & motorways. If I'm not being too cheeky perhaps a sci fi themed (like Judge Dredd) Hope you & Family are keeping well? Kind Regards Johnny
Yeah man I'd love to see some modern roads / motorway etc, that would be awesome
This looks amazing!! I would love to see a very modern rain soaked, black asphalt road. Maybe even with some reflective puddles
This is awesome! Hope to give it a go one day! :)
This was great , as a scale modeller misting working with automotive models in 1/24th scale making good roads is something I’m massively struggling with. Would be great to see you do a modern road or motorway.
Great video man. MAD MAX ROADS.
Great road work!
Would love to see more road/car related stuff :)
I play infinity the game and I've been thinking about roads and building I could make that would work well for that game system, so I would love to see a more modern or hi way roads builds.
Keep up the great work you do my good sir!
The only thing these roadside lacks off is a flock of sheep, lead by a Shaun and a dog with a woolen cap 😉
Brilliant, modern roads or motorways would be interesting too
OMG, the talco powder blows my mind, awesome techniques and great result, that looks more solid than Mexican roads 😂
Luke this was an awesome video
I’m a model railroader and warhammer 40k player and use my train layout as a gaming table also and will use this technique for the modules I’m working on
Loved that mate, be using that idea on my next boatrds.
Would love to see a motorway A road build for Cold War moderns please
Cheers
Matt
Fantastic work.
I remember in the late 70's, early 80's i had a model railway book and it suggested using scouring powder sprinkled onto wet painted surfaces for making roads.
Thats Awesome!! Love Love Love
Superb. More of this, please.
I love how tough everything you make is, really helping me make stuff for my own channel that can take a beating.
I was a little concerned over how curved the curve is, since it's scaled down, but it seems like the dirt etc added in the final step seems to hide the worst of the bend?
Looks great but it seems a lot of bother just to get a camber on the road that might not actually have been a thing depending on when the road was built and where it is in the world.
I was expecting you to sand down the balsa to create the camber, and then gluing that down flat onto board. I really like the texture you've got on the road.
Amazing. Please show us more videos how to do basic infrastructure for WW2 wargamers :D
in model railways modeling to they sometimes use paper road print outs and the woodland scenic road and paving kits too
Thanks a lot for sharing this technique!!! 🙏🙏🙏
I have tried to use it on my board but couldn’t make the baby powder to stick to the surface- probably not enough spray paint and to much of the powder. But it generated some really nice cracks and “loose” elements. Nothing the watered down PVA couldn’t handle.
So after all it was a success!!😉
Be great to see what you could do with this technique on say a runway or some sort of tank/supply yard keep up the great work 👍
Looks really good
I love the idea of looking to other, similar hobbies for techniques we might not otherwise have developed within the wargaming community. Nice build!
Great video. I've been looking for a guide to make post apocalyptic roads 28mm scale for Zona Alfa & Walking Dead games. Modular terrain for different scenarios and easy to store.
That looks like a lovely diorama underway - right now, I'm thinking of doing the same kinda thing, but modular, with strips of foamed PVC as base, topped with plasticard, given that curve you have there.
A futuristic highway would be nice if you want to tinker with the road... Maybe also add craters?
Cool video
That's a great Dio for something like Blitzkrieg 1940
Always struggled with this. Tried for the longest time to pour out plaster flat and transplant it to the board. Never works clean. Great for 40k but naff for owt else. Will give this a go!
In Germany we still have a few cement tile autobahns, so if you wanted to go for WW2 or early Cold War era autobahn, that would be appropriate. For asphalt highways this technique is probably the thing to go for. I once used a cement pour with wire reinforcement, similar to the steel reinforced concrete Luke did for the ruins once, to build a modern bridge. Ended up rock solid and way too heavy to transport it conveniently. A structural engineering buddy of mine even calculated how thick I had to pour the cement to not have it collapse under it's own weight... we are a bunch of nerds...
More roads would be great! I'm about to try a 1/20 scale diorama with a road
Looks great.
7:24 🤔🤔 sounds familiar
you can use black bake clay ,roll it out thin use a knife to cut the width you want put JUST the clay in a oven bake it ,pull it out paint it and if you want it broken up stick it in the freezer for a bit and it will shatter when you drop it ,if you want it with texture mix the black sand with the clay before you roll it out
I'd love to see you do some inner city roads. I've recently started collecting the miniatures for Marvel: Crisis Protocol & I'm struggling to find many people who make tutorials on terrain or tables for modern cityscapes such as a New York or L.A. or even London style tables, etc. It seems mostly to be apocalyptic 40k cities or medieval fantasy towns, etc, or the occasional cyberpunk diorama that isn't really fit for gaming.
Seeing some modern city based tutorials would be both refreshing & hugely helpful.
I love it!
hell yes, any variations on this would be great. my vote would be for a roman road / cobble road.
Don't know why, but this sparked a mental image of a 40k battle at the time of Hadrians' Wall. Now that's not in the history books we read at school...
The Other Luke isn’t even doing this.
Good stuff!
Really like the technique you used here. I use Bitumen paint and sifted sand, and aluminium oxide sandblast media (basically scale tarmac, without the heat!) It's usually when i'm doing "new" road surfaces. Talc, grout etc for weathering pretty much as you do. I'd be interested in your thoughts and whether you've ever tried it? It stinks, takes & a fair while to dry of course so might not be best suited to "quick builds".
Cheers Luke ,
Luv~Luv~Luv .
Yeh , do lots more vid's , Cheers
Yeah Luke, definitely some post apo road, something US looking with yellow line and rusty speed limit signs
Motorways OH LORD PLEASE YES!
Great technique Luke! Have you tried using craft foam as your base instead of the wood? It doesn't warp and will take on whatever contour is below it so you could just put the camber in your base material. It would actually take on a much more realistic rise and fall along the length of the road. It also has a pretty decent asphalt road look to it from the start so if you missed a spot with the other material you wouldn't notice it easily. It is also easy to cut pot holes in. Just a thought for you. The top surface of your road is great! I really like the texture there.
@@GeekGamingScenics Craft foam has a bit of spring but it doesn't dent. This is EVA foam, not extruded.
@@GeekGamingScenics My mistake. I thought your process had the structural integrity with the surface application, not the wood below it.
This was sick
pls a typical 66 Route^^ or/and a streetlook for a small 32 or 40 mm Base;)
Amazing looking road Luke. I have the Sci Fi X terrain boards from TT Combat for Dropzone Commander and have been reluctant to put my paintbrush to them as I’m not entirely sure how to get the roads and pavement looking realistic. Any chance you could do a tutorial on this, or a city road/pavement build.
Keep up the great work
Hi Luke, Can you do some road markings/yellow lines for a future video? That would be cool. Great video, very inspiring, thanks for sharing.
Bravo!
You're missing some sheep to complete the pastoral look. Beautiful board!
