Creating a realistic road surface

[Mooncat]

Anyone any suggestions on creating a realistic 1/6th road surface ?

Something similar to the texture look and feel (a bit of elasticity) that the Gentle Giant Trinity on Ducatti base has ???

Any suggestions welcome !

I'm not sure what surface the trinity statue has but I've just made my heat figures base mate and I can't reccomend this stuff enough.
You get more than enough on this roll too. My photos make it look crappy.
There is different colours of it available , the number at the end " JMAT9L " changes for each one I think. If your going to paint on it do it before gluing it to anything by the way , I made that mistake and the whole thing started to go sort of sloppy. If you do paint use just a little bit.

Hilarious.. I'm giving painting advice. I feel like Les Walker.

what usmchicks said!
i've used the black, it takes spray paint ok. using a light and dark grey at the moment too that come in light or heavier coarseness.

Cheers mate , can't take full credit though. Zuno's figure from a while ago was the inspiration.

Just to be a stickler, but the scene depicted in your Heat custom is incorrect. They didn't steal any cash from the armored truck, just bear bonds....

just sayin....

I've used Sno-Tex fake snow "plaster" for road surfaces. Trick is, you need to apply it smooth which can be tricky.

Yeah , I know , 3 people have said that now and I think a few pulled Zuno up on it too. I just thought a bag of cash looked cooler that a few files.

I used a fine grade sand which seemed to work swell. Ill post some pics in a bit if I can dig it up.
