Here's an idea that I have used in the past .  Its roll roofing or sometimes called mineral paper .  Its pretty cheap considering how much you get in a roll , maybe split it with a buddy if he or she lives close enough. It is HEAVY  and it does cut okay  with the proper  tools and if it is kept warm . Being that each roll is 3' in width , one can easily make long winding seamless roads .  Hope this idea helps out someone on this thread .IMG_2469

That looks GREAT!. With what did you cut the mineral paper?

I actually used a razor knife with both regular straight blades and hooked blades , lots of them and I also used an old pair of shears .  I had made a template of my town and curved road  leading into it using paper taped together , then traced it onto the roll roof using a colored marker . after cutting the roof material I placed one large roadway onto my O gauge  layout .
