Hi Gang - after looking at a few previous threads from the forum members I've decided that the easiest way to model a town road would be to use roofing felt. I went to Lowes today and found that it comes in huge rolls - here are my questions that I hope someone can answer:
1. Where can I buy roofing felt in smaller quantities/rolls?
2. For those of you that have used this material before what is the best way to glue down the felt to painted homosote?
Thanx -
Paul

Look for a house that's being either built or 're-roofed' . There should be plenty of scraps for free.

Try scenic express. they have road bed material, of course the materials might appear to be more expensive, but at least you will be buying the right quantity.
You might want to try sheets of styrene plastic. easy to cut and paint.
any roofing contractor usually has some left over from a recent job. Thats how I got mine. BTW as a suggestion would suggest a double layer. I used white glue.
Actually have different materials for various roads. I used the roof paper in one town. For highways I used concrete backer board ( Doesn't need much support.)
