So with the Knight Models Marvel game comming this month, looking to get a city board made. Since it is a 3x3, this makes it easy to use sticky tiles from home depot and make a modular board

Basically im looking for any help of people knowing of printable 1foot by 1 foot city road tiles. Such as its straight, curves, intersections, etc with city side walk/stone on the sizes.

for example this stuff http://www.hawkwargames.com/collections/card-scenery (of course this isnt the right scale though)

Any ideas? Dont care if it costs $, as we want to print out/cut 1x1 pages, stick them to tile and have our board

I don't know of any specific ones that would do what you're talking about, but there are quite a few options you have.

One is get a printer, some avery stickers (on a sheet for computers, probably something like bookplate size), find an image you like on the 'net and print it onto those.

Another option, buy stencil material (pretty cheap, in most craft scrapbook areas), draw a couple street patterns on you stencil with pencil, cut out with exacto or an actual stencil cutter - a hot knife or a wood burning knife, with the right blade, is essentially the same thing if you have one of those. Make templates for intersections, curved areas, and straight roads (with the dashes down the center) and you've pretty much got all the ones you'd need. Between straight and curved sections, you can make pretty much every road design. It might not be perfect, but you just match them up to create the road you'd like and you can turn the curves over to make roads going the other direction. Use a stencil brush plus craft paint and you're good!

Last idea I can think of off the top of my head, look through various rubber stamping manufacturers - particularly for the roller stamps, if you're interested in something like a textured street. It's a bit harder with craft paint I've found, compared to ink, but still doable. You can always go over the lines later and clean them up a bit, or use the less than perfect to create a more distressed and used look.

Not quite the right thing but i recently watched a fantastic ppainting guide for a model street , i think it was from a railway channel.

He painted a board in sections then blended together , the finished result was outstanding ...... grrrr cant find it now to link.

But after having done that use something similar to www.scalemodelscenery.co.uk/shop/laser-cut-road-marking-stencils-oo4mm176/ to add some extra details?

Sorry its not quite what you are looking for.

P.S. i seem to be incapable of posting links .... am getting old.

I don't believe these come in 1'x1' but 6" x6" is common.
