Just finished a quick prototype road using caulking spread out on a strip of canvas from the local hardware store.
I then used a model wheel from a cannon to create vehicle lines down the middle, built it up with some roads and gravel, painted it and glued on some grass tufts and flock. A coat of spray to seal it all and its good to go.
The color looks okay to blend in with the new mat and being caulk on canvas it does contour to the mat pretty well, especially when I build some side terrain pieces such as fields and walls and such to side on or next to the edges. The pic really shows the difference in the colors but in reality its not that different.
The plan now is to make multiple pieces 12" long and some curve pieces and run a road from one side of the mat to the other. That will form the basic of a build project where I will then build all sorts of pieces to line the road, gradually building up what I would be aiming to game with.
Stay tuned!
