I love the Chevy, but I love the street and sidewalk detail even more. Any description to share regarding how you did those?
Thanks in advance,
Don
Don,
The streets were covered with a thin (1/32-inch ?) laser-cut fiber board material to simulate cobblestones. I purchased it from Monster Model Works (try Google) which since has closed and I don't know where it can be gotten now.
The sidewalks and driveway are correctly sized and nicely detailed resin pieces sold by Crow River Products at http://www.crowriverproducts.com/
Let me know (by e-mail) whether you will be attending the upcoming meeting of the New England Railroad Prototype Modelers in Farmington, CT on the weekend of May 31... see http://nerpm.org/index.html

Mel, nice job on painting the side walk and cobble stone. I want to ask you if the resin side walk looks plasticy in person. It does not in the photo. Is there imperfections in the surface, or is it smooth.
I don't think "Moster Model Works" materials are available anywhere as he didn't sell the business. He just closed shop, and started his new job in his old profession... A real loss to the hobby as he had some good stuff. Pricey but good..
