I'm off out today, for the first time to meet few people socially since lockdown started (finger crossed), so won't be undertaking any modelling today. But here's a quick pic showing how the various sections 'clip' together while being built as separate manageable sub-assemblies. That makes them easier to handle, paint and detail. When they are finally positioned on the layout they will be permanently joined together and any obvious joint/joins hopefully disguised (with filler, weathering, road work patches, etc.,) :

 

 

 

 Hi Graham, just wanted to know a few details about the road / pavement building. Have you sprayed the road surface   using grey primer or is that just grey mountboard and what do you use to paint the paths that are not covered in the   scalescenes pavement paper?, thanks

I've got the pavements and traffic island in place (as accurate/best as I could) as well as the drop kerbs for the pedestrian crossings. Next will be painting, adding kerb stones and the road lane markings, then the pavement paviors and then weathering:

Hi Grahame, the roads and pavements look great and are bringing it to life even more. I'm guessing you've used 2mm mount board card for the main road surface but what thickness of card are you using for the pavements and traffic islands and how have you created dropped kerbs?
