Test photo after finishing.
I cut new brick road strips and stained them with the ink and alcohol wash.
Oops, I put the brick sheets in upside down. No wonder they look so odd when I finished them. No use trying to live with it, I tore it right out.
Finish center peice. Oops, I just realized that I put the road in upside down.
Test fit center peice.
Cut the center bricks and glued it to .040" x .250" styrene strips.
Finished the road using ink and alcohol mixture as a wash.
