The cork road seam can be hidden with irregular application of tube glue then painted dark grey or black to represent tar sealer over seams and cracks. Add a small feeder crack to the stress point of the driveway and it will look deliberate and realistic.

woozleboy...add a feeder crack to the joint (stress crack joint)...YEA, right buddy, I'm an old concrete man and THAT is exactly what happens when the "Earth Moves Under your Feet"!! I have (Naturally), one of the few construction diorama videos on youtube...LOL. I do have one I'd like you to look at, the grass and trees need work,,,but the construction section is... you tell me!

Thank you for sharing your works its fascinating. Many layers of paint, all acrylics, then blended together. It looks very realistic

Great diorama! Thanks for sharing your techniques.

Really admire how much thought you put into achieving that level of detail. I'm just starting out and this has helped me. Thank you!!

Holy shit. I saw the finished product of this on an Instagram page of initial D memes and it inspired me to make my own model scenes in the future, I started watching KZread tutorials and this came up on my suggested videos feed later, I didn’t even search for this. Awesome work by the way! Thank you for making a tutorial.

hey man, thanks heaps for this tutorial. I'm just getting started and the way you explain everything is really good and easy to understand. Great to hear a fellow aussie. thanks for the guide man you've inspired me

Nice video. I enjoyed watching it. Thanks for sharing.

quite like method of pressing down on plaster laid over foam to get natural cracks - very slick!

I think that's great...and the match line between the asphalt road and concrete drive way is great, realistic. From someone who actually paved such roads, we don't usually take time to make sure that seam is perfect, especially on resurface...it will wave a little. Love your finished concrete look, but a couple of small line cracks leading into the stress crack joint would really be detailed, and make them dark, filled with dust and dirt.

So I know Milliput can be thinned down to either a consistency like model putty or even further to a thick liquid that can be used for stippling on textures, maybe a combination of the putty consistency for the road joint followed by an all over coat of some thinned down enough to seep into the cork could have hid the join, might be worth messing about with on a test piece. I really love how your sidewalk came out, seeing that in the thumbnail is why I decided to watch this video.

Nicely done! I'm very interested in making automotive dioramas, I'd love to make Moe's Tavern from The Simpsons first because that shouldn't be too difficult.

Thank's for the tuto 👍 Peace ✌️

Nice results.

caralho mano esse mano ai é o bicho! Sem mal se eu pudesse ficava dando MIL LIKES HORA perfeito

Very nice. A few tufts of grass in the joints may add more realism.

keep the off cut so you can use them for crate and suit case and anying were else.

very nice work; can you tell me why use cork for the roadway? why not just continue using plaster? i'm about to do my 1st roadway on foam, & am planning on using joint compound for the road, sidewalks, parking.

I'd love to gather the materials to make something for my Gi Joe figures in the near future.

You should man it's good fun!

Have you ever tried: AK, TERRAINS ASPHALT, 250 ml., DIORAMA series, #AK8013. It makes great looking Asphalt road surfaces!

You can use the same glue as you used for the road to hide the split between both cork parts. Just rub it between both parts while gluing them to the ground surface, then use the extra glue that may pop out on top to rub that in the split. Any extra left overs can be wiped off. This should help to solve that problem. It however may be the best to use 1 part of cork instead of 2 though.

If someone was going for a kinda battle scarred look for their build they could probably skip the cork right? I'm thinking cut it with a hobby knife, sand it lightly but still leave plenty of texture, then prime and paint over the rough surface, maybe?

Feb. 2018---Thanks for a useful video. After 15 years, started getting back into modeling, but going for 1/35th scale zombie/ apocalypse dioramas. One of the 3 I'm working on will be called The Alley much like yours, though where you have concrete for the alley, I'm going for cork as asphalt. But thanks to you, have figured out how to put a sidewalk in front of the building and of course, having a dip between the alley way and road. For those wanting a large sheet of cork, hit you car parts store. Think my 3'x2' sheet of cork cost me $13?

Nice work mate, but if you are working often with plaster of paris, you really should wear gloves and mask while mixing or sanding it down. Even spreading it out with your fingers is not the best solution 😂 Like with any material if you work a lot with them you should protect yourself, your skin breathes it too 😊

How much time will it take for the plaster to get dried

Why do you use cork for the street?

Your over working this project.... you should have black washed the whole piece of foam before you started painting it... the black wash will get into every crack and make it look aged ....I simply water down my black paint... slap it on... let it sit for just a sec then wipe off with a towel... again make sure it’s in every crack.... then do your grays and dark grays ... also if you want texture for the road... instead of cork.... go outside and find a few textured rocks... the foam is very soft and it will take shapes of different items.. push rocks down on the foam for your road and it will give a cool texture... I also use different stones for my bricks before I cut them out to give texture...when you dry brush you will see the textures pop like nothing you seen before...

A black wash goes OVER paint. What you're describing is a basecoat, which should not be watered down like a wash...

I think the paint splatter looks quite unnatural. Some carefully hand painted splatters of dirt would look more convincing.

wouldnt it have been easier to add a smaller piece on top of the base instead of cutting all that out

OMG you could of used a nice sharp saw

I would get a hammer and break the plaster
