Digging a hole - Part 7

Blog Catch Up: This really happened in November 2018, although the wording of the text makes it seem as if it happened today.

The road pavement is done, at least more or less. I used drywall spackle for this. Here is the spackle with a first light coat of paint.



The surface is a little uneven and dented, but that only adds to the realism, I think.

I then added more coats of paint trying to simulate that stripy pattern that the roads, at least here, obtain after a few years. The wear and tear from the car wheels, especially the studded tyres used during winter, makes lighter colored "tracks" in the asphalt. This besides the fact that the asphalt is generally bleached and is more gray than black. Last I added some road markings.
