Something of a Maze
The old road
I really wanted to add some elements to this build that were more man-made, which nature had repossessed. An old brick road seemed like a good choice.
To make this, I would be using air-drying clay and a couple of rollers from Green Stuff World,
I started by rolling out some small balls of clay, then using a roller, flattened them. Doing this on some baking paper means it won’t stick down and will be easier to move around.
I then used a textured roller to add the brick pattern. As each part got longer and wider, I broke bits off and re-rolled them, creating more bits of broken road.
Air drying clay sticks best whilst it is damp. With this in mind, I used watered-down PVA glue to attach the road pieces to my layout before it had cured. This also meant that I could shape it over the contoured parts of the base tiles to create an uneven road surface.
Once it’s dry, I can think about adding the other ground covering, mud, leaves and the like. If nothing else, it will add another texture to the terrain and the option for some different colours.
