    I agrre with Ron (Tin-goat) on alot of points...the repetitiveness is starting to get old on a lot of things.

    Streets, curbs and sidewalks....

    I didn't realize WS used foam core in their set...I contemplated buying it at one point but decided I could probably get the same results from "scratch" and acrylic paints...I still use the "ole-exacto" but a fresh blade IS a must!!! Aartwmich...sorry I'm still good...

    Streets, curbs and sidewalks....

    OK...foam core works really well! Just had to figure out how to cut it! Scissors just bent it...a utility knife shredded it... but the ole exacto knife cut very smoothly with no ragged edges! Now the roads are being placed and glued then comes the fun part of lines, cracks and paint. I saw in...

    Streets, curbs and sidewalks....

    I stopped at a local craft store this evening and bought a piece of foam core board to give it an experiment as Ron suggested. It seems to only come in one thickness though, (about 1/8") I'll see how it turns out though it may be a little too thick for HO.. It may be fine as terrain might be...
