Don't get me started about the time I wasted learning about traditional barn building techniques for a model I haven't even finished yet.

And the first time I've heard of wooden block paving being used as well. I never considered that the dirt/sand would be intentionally spread but it makes sense.

Then usually some wood putty on top to hide the mistakes.

Then tried to recall my senior school history when macadam was first used in C19th. So after a bit of searching I found this PDF doc www.londonhistorians.org/index.php?s=file_download&id=64. It is called 'Streets of London'. Interesting read. Nice figure by the way.

Are you making your own cobblestone roads or are you buying some of the premade ones out there?Chris Stoesenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07285495844651490795noreply@blogger.com
