I have some latex roads that have served me well for several decades. They are 15mm and the straight sections are two feet long, so they are difficult to store flat and do curl up. I've found the best way to flatten them out is to lay them on an ironing board, cover them with a damp cloth or tea towel and give them a gentle iron.

Thanks, good to see it all done up. I was stood next to you at Partizan at the stall, where we seemed to be trying to talk each other into buying it! Mine is still unpainted, but after seeing your success, I will break it out - thanks.

I like how the roads turned out and I wonder how long it will last for wear being made of latex rubber. I love how flat it lays and the detail molded into each piece. Amazing work on the roads and I believe it's well worth the 50 pounds/ 60 US dollars spent on it.

They seem pretty tough, so I think they’ll wear well. It was a big spend for me but I really do like the look of them. They come with a really clear guide to painting too. Thanks for watching mate. Hope your managing to get some sleep with your twins, best wishes😉

Thanks mate, normally make my own roads but thanks to my Brother-in-law’s gift of the 1/72 stuff I was able to treat myself to these. They’ll make a useful addition to my terrain collection. Thanks so much for watching🙂

Have you had a chance to use them yet? How are they working for Bolt Action? I'm very curious to see. Great Video! Keep it up!

Oh, the errant apostrophe- the curse of wargaming companies. These look really nice, but I'm more into 28mm these days. Cheers for the video.

@@peezebeuponyou3774 Hi, the scale is for both 20mm and 28mm. For example, my good friends the Perry's use this for their some of their Napoleonic games, others for later or even earlier periods. Cobbled roads in Europe in early times where 3 men wide. If you look you will see such roads in Photos of the period. I designed there for 20mm initially but was convinced by friends and customers who game in 28mm that they work very well for that scale too....hence the scale range advertised.....Great review by the way Chris, nice job on painting too.
