Building Roads & Parking Lots
Art sent in this tip to share:
A great way to make asphalt roads is to mix beach sand into a container of black paint then trowel it on. By laying down styrene or wood strips along the roadway edges, the paint will flow to the curbs. The black top goo should be pretty stiff, but still liquid enough to self-level.

On making asphalt, dark grey would be better. Only freshly laid asphalt is black, and then not for long.
