:bigthumb: nice idea

Looks great!

Great idea! I've also seen people mix black paint, kitty-litter, and woodglue together to make a somewhat-convincing asphalt texture. This seems so much simpler! :biggrin:

Is there any way you can throw a dull coat on that? It's a little shiny...but otherwise looks great!

Simple and effective. :thumbsup:

wow why didn't i think of that, nice job man!

I have something same only some differenst : mine have 2 walls and mine don't have so cool floor. :)

Brilliant! Shows that quite often a simple solution can be the best.

excellent!!

That's a nice one, James!

Currently I'm using a piece of coarse sandpaper, glued to a piece of cardboard to simulate the tarmac, which I used to take pictures of my models.

Having seen yours, I guess I have to copy your idea. Hope you don't mind.

thanks guys, ya i dont care if you make one like it. thats why i posted it up!
