Sullivan Ave. part II

Time for an update.
I've made a fair amount of progress with Sullivan Ave itself. In the image below I have it painted as well as the parking lot. There is a dark grey patch on the hill that disguises the seam between where the road is made of Elmers Wood Filler and plastic sheet.


I painted the road and the parking lot at the same time. Once all had dried a couple of days I masked off the road to make the darker asphalt for the Diner parking lot. The I lightly over-sprayed the parking lot with Rustolium black primer.


This closer view shows the area of the road that I made of sheet plastic. On the right side is a curb with a drainage flume directed toward the ditch. The brown rectangle on the left is a storm grate I drew in with colored markers (wait till the sidewalk is installed, it won't look so odd)


The cut stone wall is made of floor tile. A 12"x 12" piece was all of 87 cents.










The sidewalk is one piece of plastic. the brown strip with have fine ground foam for grass and some static grass also. All the expansion joints and cracks are drawn in with .005 pencil.
The road patch will be painted to look like a re-paving.
