Hey guys!!
Our game group is still playing in Holland and I just finished up our raised roads.
I made them from 3/4" pink foam cut into 4" wide strip of various lenghts. Then I used contact adhesive backed step grip paper for the roads. Then various flocks on the egdes.
Check Em out!!
Comments and questions welcome!!

Its often the most simple things that create great work. Very cool

Small comment. I personally would like to see the colour of the road toned down a bit(less black). Perhaps a dry light brush of Dawnstone to tone it down and highlight the road surface ?

This exactly. Asphalt quickly loses its black color, like in a matter of days on heavily travelled roads. I would drybrush it with grey and weather it.

If you can, go for a brownish grey to represent dirt on the road as well as weathering.
