Mean Streets

I was supposed to have spent today preparing and re-spraying a rear wheel arch on my car which was being affected by a spot of rust, but when I went to do the work I realised the wife had taken the car keys to work with her by accident. This left me in the slightly odd position of suddenly having little to do and having not planned any hobby activities I spent ages buggering about with nothing in particular.

In the end I made up some pavements and tarmac roads for the fronts of my housing blocks. The pavement sections are 30cm long 6mm thick bits of MDF with a pavement texture, and the roads are just 3mm MDF which is also 30cm long that has a tarmac texture. All modular so I can mix and match as required. There simple, and basic but do the job (for little cost)

I intend to make more roads tomorrow but who knows, they are a bit boring to make so I'm having motivation issues.

    Nice. Everything is coming along quite nicely even with a case of motivationitis.

    The minute you use them in a game you'll want to make more. Looking great. I'm really enjoying following this project mate.

    Thanks guys, I'm quite pleased there a bit rough and very simple but with the pavements they look pretty cool.
