Styrene Highway

Started on the actual styrene for the highway at Ruston over the weekend.

I used a styrene "No Parking" sign that I picked up at Menards a few years ago.  It's .020" thick so I doubled it up to make it .040" thick.

I cut it larger than I needed and then trimmed it to fit.  Right now it's about 2-1/8" wide which works out to about 28' wide.  So I think that would be two 10' lanes and a bit left over for outer stripes.

Once they're painted and glued down, I'll bevel the cork for a shoulder.



The crossing is by Blair Line.  After gluing them in place I stained them with Ammo Rail Center washes and sealed them with some Dullcote. 


They got shot with a primer for the gray base coat.
