2 years 2 months I stole this idea from my friend Ang, who also has a truck crazy kid. I used two long strips of bulsa wood. It was fairly thick - possibly 7mm. I used a pair of sharp but long scissors and cut the planks in half. I then used washi tape to makes lines and zebra crossings. A helped with some of these, The especially crooked ones. We then slapped some black acrylic paint on them. I used a hair dryer to speed up the drying time, and then we gave it a quick coat of Mod Podge. I used the dryer again. A actually used one of the roads before I got to dry it, so it has slid tracks on it. Adds to the realism 😆 I then used washi tape to makes lines and zebra crossings.

Although currently A lines them up so he has a very short 8 lane highway 😊 rather then a long road with corners like I would have done.
