How do I make realsic city streets? (1 Viewer)

[Louis A. Cortez]

Hi,
I am attempting to make a diorama of a street parade. Is there a good Lemax or other company product that makes an American city street? Or perhaps a kit (do not want to spend a lot of time building) out there. I am building the stores and shops and need a street with stripes and stuff just like the one down our main street. Please advise. Thanks.

I've only seen European brick and cobble stone streets from LEMAX. Might be good for Boston or Philadelphia.

Are you looking for an asphalt type street? You could try using very fine grit sandpaper and apply the lines yourself. Or try a model railway store, they usually sell roads by the roll.

Thanks,
I really like the idea about the fine sand paper and just add lines. I looked up the Model Railroad offers on the internet and was not impressed with any of the them. But the sandpaper, that might work. I will stop at LOEW's tomorrow on my way home. THanks for the tip. ANy others out there?
