Anyone purchased some of the new roads from TimeCast? Any good?

Sounds like a no, Cheers!

Roads are about the easiest thing to model. I usually save up for buildings.

Of course, I also play at 3mm scale so that limits the options, too.

I did make some once, wood filler on MDF strips, but they were too rigid and too high

Tell us what they're like once you've bought some would you please Pete?

Will do.

Hmmm, the ones from Total Battle seem to be better priced and I have seen those:

They are made from floppy latex

you can make them easily enough from decorators caulking (£1 from poundland) spread it on some corrugated cardboard to the right width and length, , scatter a little sand on top as its drying, leave over night and it will peel off the cardboard taking a nice backing layer with it, and voila flexible roads or rivers for a £1

Doesn't the paint peel off? It does when I use caulk around the house after a while.

Try "fat franks" on eBay they are excellent and he will do them any colour you need.

Cheers, was looking at those earlier today

Plenty of pics of them from our CWC MegaGame

Pete, I made mine about 2 years ago and they are still perfectly fine, no paint problems whatsoever, and I only used cheap Wilko tester posts. For the cost(a couple of quid) and time (about an hour inc painting) involved its worth a try, I get 4-6ft of road/river at 1.5" - 2" width from one tube of caulking.

you can see some of my roads on the pics in my WotR battle report on my blog: http://ablogofwar.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/a...

Cheers for that, will give it a go
