Looks good BUT…Since most of us do not live in Belgium can you please suggest products that are available in the USA? Thanks |
| Fonzie | 01 May 2015 7:11 p.m. PST |
Well, I don't live in the USA so I have no idea what's available there! :-) Any kind of acrylic caulk will do. The paints are just water based wall paint, again any brand will do. The cloths are thin fabric cleaning cloths, I assume you have those in the US too. I know some of you have built my roads before so maybe they can chime in and tell us what products they used. |

I did not see anything in that excellent tutorial that can't easily be purchased in the States. |

Great link Fonzie and thanks for shareing it with teh forum. OK JasonAfrica, why don't stop being lazy and ignorant and do a simple search yourself. Believe it or not but the internet is a worldwide phenonema and this forum and is not just restricted to residents of the USA. As other following posters show that its pretty easy to find an alternative product themselves, I suggest you do the same, yourself! |

Fonz What do you mean you own the rights for this technique. my group have been using this method to make roads since the nineties! |
| Fonzie | 02 May 2015 5:10 a.m. PST |
Where in my tutorial do you read that I say I own the technique? What I said was that I own the name Flexi-Roads, that I use to sell them as a product of my business and that I may produce them commercially later again. What I was asking is that if someone makes a road using my tutorial and show it to their buddies please mention that it was done following my tutorial for Flexi-Roads. Clear now? |

Great tutorial -thanks! I SO need to try to make these.
If only I had more time in my mitts! |

Mr. Afrika is being a bell end. Thanks for the tutorial. |

Nice tutorial. Thanks for sharing. |
| Fonzie | 02 May 2015 5:51 p.m. PST |
In the spirit of clarity I have changed the opening statement of my tutorial. I do not claim the technique or method of making flexible roads as some people think I did. I did not invent it, it has indeed been around for a long time already, but I made and sold these roads for a living under the name Flexi-Roads and while I have no plans to do so again, the name is still protected by law. The method is public domain, the name is not. That is what my original statement tried to convey but obviously not well enough. Hope my new statement makes it clear. |

The mastic is paintable latex caulk. It is available at any DIY/hardware store, in the USA. Be careful, as there are two types: paintable, and non-paintable. It can be used to make roads, and rivers as well. It is a technique which has been around for decades. Cheers! |

Thanks Fonzi, its interesting to hear you idea of ironing the back of the roads after they dry – have had some problems with that which I only got over by mounting on a thin, stiff plastic sheet. Thanks for sharing. Great to have people willing to share ideas like this. Just ignore the flak! |

Thank you, very clear explanation. |

Thank you for posting this! |
wonders why create different 3D models, if you can create one that can be customized?
