Bench Time #59: How we create roads, sidewalks, and we discuss our love of collecting paints!

It's time for another Bench Time Model Railroading podcast with Todd & Brett, and this week we spend a good deal of time talking about how we make our roads and sidewalks.

Recently we featured two live videos on Facebook that covered both of these topics and you can find them here: 

• HO Scale Customs LIVE video on roads
• Model Railroading sidewalk how-to tutorial

You can thank Brock, an Instagram follower of ours for the suggestion of this week's main topic! Our roads & sidewalk techniques aren't ones that we can take credit for, we actually took much of what we do for roads from FOS Scale Models & Jason Jensen. We just added our spin on it and made it into a live video for our Facebook fans. 

Here's a couple quick pictures of Todd's Sidewalks:

We also talk about our schedule for next week's upcoming live builds of Pop's General Store. You can check out Jason's illustration of Pop's here.

The LIVE build schedule is as follows: 

• Monday, February 11th @ 8:00pm EST (5pm PT) - Todd Wiley
• Tuesday, February 12th @ 8:00pm EST (5pm PT) - Brett Wiley
• Wednesday, February 13th @ 8:00pm EST (5pm PT) - Jason Jensen

Finally, we talk about Todd's monstrous stock of acrylic paints. I mean, he's got so many paints he ran out of storage space in his paint racks, shelves, and it's practically impossible to walk through his modeling room without stepping over paint! Okay, well it's not that bad... But we like to pick up a lot of colors and types of paints! It's kind of similar to the paint pallet fetish.

Have an awesome weekend everyone!
