Woodland Scenics foam sheets: amzn.to/4dYoG6n
Plaster of Paris 4 lb: amzn.to/3O8HDbf - Навчання та стиль
Nice use of materials for that road…painting in was a bear…used SillyWinks foam from Hobby Lobby for some roads and parking…turned out pretty good…also tried smooth-it, foam board, etc.
Your comment on the foam texture being different on your painted sample - could be that the two sides of the sheet have different textures -might be related to the manufacturing process.
I was told that there are two types of black, one is a very very dark shade of blue, the other a very very dark shade of brown.
Paint the whole thing grey and start again.
I love watching your vids and seeing g your progress. The idea was good, however the tape application distorted it for me. I would have taken it out and started over, don’t use tape and a different color. I understand starting with the black for the cracks, however you could have used panel liner or something for those. Nice touch with the manhole covers.
I like the color of the road. It's "new", but starting to show gentle wear and tear. Fantastic workmanship, as always!
As Always... Nice Work...
Use light weight spackle to go Over it instead of plaster
Great work man :)
Try some red or yellow and go back over it. I mix a lot of automotive paint, and a lot of greys and off white will have red and yellow toners in it.
That tape line sucks, but that's probably how I would have gone about it.
You've become one of my favorite channels! Always great content.
I would sand the edge that was taped and fill where two pieces come together with calk, then sand. For paint I'd try very dark on gray with a little black. I don't understand why you are using tans and whites. You can dry brush pure black for tire marks.
I think sanding foam would chew it up. I used tans and whites to try and counter the blue I was expecting, but it didn't make a difference.
Just put tape down on the other pieces... take it up and then start over with a dark grey...it fixes both problems
Loved this video. Kudos to you for showing us the struggles and solutions. I’m in the process of doing foam roads with 1 and 2 mm sheets of black foam from The Foamery. I will employ the painting techniques you suggested.
Wow!!
That looks so cool!!
Very nice!!
Thanks,
Dwayne
Great job. The road looks awesome. Happy modeling. 😎👍🏼
I liked you plaster roads much better even though plaster is a pain and messy
I like the manhole covers.
I've been using charcoal black unwanted grout.
Hello. Ok Im an automotive refinisher and if you add a drop or two of orange to your mix it will help kill the blue. Find yourself a color wheel and learn what colors cancel other colors out.. It will help immensely in your painting procedures. Hope that helps.
Someone else mentioned the same thing after seeing my results. Great advice. Would you add the orange into the black or into the light grey coat?
@@nscaler454 I wouldn’t use black at all I would use various shades of grey( with the orange added as needed) and then use a very thin black wash over everything. Let it almost dry then DAB it off not wipe and the remaining black will be in your cracks and crevices. Then very lightly dry brush with a light grey or off white the bring out the detail. Hope that helps
Hi Nscaler 454 & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks Nscaler454 & Friends Randy
Looks great, thanks for share. Note black is made with darks ..usually ultramarine blue and dark browns so depending on the black.. it will be bluish or blue gray.
Thanks. I think I need to find some blacks that are made from brown pigments.
Texture really good foam was really good idea think used wrong paint 🎨 water based paint get hobby lobby or wal mart gray paint used idea road good idea ok
In the end great job. It seemed like the material was problematic. Would you use it again? I like using the foam hobby sheets. They are more forgiving with great texture and cheaper. Holds acrylic well. No mess like plaster.
I would definitely be tempted to use foam again. There are a lot of advantages to it, no mess being one of them. If one could get the colors and layering right, I think great results could be achieved.
Hit it with a wire brush, break up the flat texture
Looks Really Good , But WAY To Many Coloring Steps For My Arthritic Neuropathy Hands !! What if You Had Painted Dark Gray then Used That Powder ??
I think starting with a lighter grey would have been better for the overall color. Would just need to figure out how to highlight all the cracks and potholes with a blackish tone without bleeding into the surround grey coat.
Do you ever watch Mike Fifer's channel! If he had a post a couple of days age (probably posted after you had all done this) but it might have changed your mind on that particular scenic foam. He is definitely not a fan of it...
He used the foam as a filler, and then plastered and put scenery on top of it, that was his problem. If you are using it as a roadway like this you will not have that problem.
Using sponges is part of your problem it's blotchy
