Creating Roads and Pavements

This guide explains how to create realistic model roads, pavements, and grassed areas using spray-painting and flocking techniques. It covers essential preparation, safety notes, and spraying methodology, emphasising thin, even coats and rotational spraying for consistent finishes. The document details how to build up road tarmac using layered speckling of beige, white, and black paint, how to achieve natural-looking pavement tones with controlled speckle patterns, and how to apply flock to grass areas using adhesive and masking for clean edges. A full list of recommended tools and materials is included, making the guide a practical reference for achieving professional surface textures in scale models.
