Looking for suggestions for decent looking 1/600 roads (mainly for Germany 1980's). Don't want to do felt, wondering if anyone makes anything appropriate, or if there are decent printable roads out there. I guess 1/300 scale roads would be the right size for an autobahn, so there's always that. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks, CW |

Hey CW: Yes I bought a set of downloaded print-your-own roads that look pretty good:
The set I bought was for 15mm but I imported it into an image editor, re-sized it and printed on card stock. Tape together with blue painters tape. |

Those look really nice, where did you purchase them from? |

I bought a few roads sets off WargameVault and the set from Toschach. These are actually pieces from a couple different sets – I honestly forget which came from where, sorry. I'd just look at the previews on WargameVault. Also I found a bunch of stuff like parking lots and so on just by googling paper terrain roads. |

By the way here is how I made mine (I'm sure there's a better way but this certainly works). Open your PDF. Do a "Print Screen" then paste in to Paint. Crop, touch up and resize. Then import into Powerpoint. Copy the image to fill a page, and print. To make custom curves I just printed sheets and cut at a slight angle. Road sets are horrible at curves – if you get more than one or two you're pretty lucky! |
