Great stuff. That's exactly what I was looking for, especially the weathering/worn look for the markings.

Great video Julian! Going to try some of these techniques and see which I think is best fit for me. Everyone has different 'thoughts' on what works.

Another great video. Your attention to detail is fantastic and I love that you show your technique warts and all, a proper lesson in how and how not to. Thanks, Roy

I really like how you transferred your template to the road surface. Great technique.

Gathering lots of ideas from your videos Phill In Southampton uk

Great update! Nice job Julian. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Onno.

Great idea looks good to me -keep up the good work and stay safe

Interesting technique . . . it would take some experimentation, but some airbrush frisket film might work well for this kind of a project. The material is made of ultra-thin acetate, is impervious to moisture and generally withstands bleed-under. Its low-tack adhesive qualities might necessitate the application of light coats/layers (dabs?) of paint to be on the safe side.

Hi Julian, Another great vlog. Just an update to UK road markings, if you or any viewers requires markings for controlled crossings (with traffic lights) they are now in the new Chapter 6. Therefore search for Traffic Signs Manual Chapter 6 Traffic Control. Hope that helps someone, any questions just shout 👍🏻

Hey Julian, You got there in the end. The final result looks certainly very good and pleasing. Maybe the road could get a bit more dirt and grime, but that is personal preference. I think the label paper is to thick and stiff to actually get it closely sticking to the sand so bleeding would be prevented with the consistency of your used paint. Using a more dry paint like doing with dry-brushing would probably have made a difference. All together thumbs up!

Hi mate another great video mate the road is looking great mate I really enjoyed it stay safe and well mate goodbye for now clive

Nice effect in the end enjoy your posts keep them coming stay safe mind you from what im seeing here on tv in the uk New Zealand seems to have this pandemic in hand and sorted hope uk will learn from what your doing looking forward to next update kind regards Trev

Looks good Julian, just need some drains and manholes now.

Town scene is coming together nicely Julian The road will definitely need some dirt and weathering added maybe some litter around and about unless of course it’s one of those flash towns that takes pride in its appearance...what was the time line for your railway

Really enjoyed it again Julian, your roads are looking good, just how I hope mine will be. Just finished my baseboards now and looking forward to some track planning and even running some trains which I still haven’t done! With the restrictions starting to be lifted I can play golf again which will slow me down a bit and the weather here this week is looking really nice. Take care, Kind Regards John

Great job, very good video however yellow lines and especially zig zags were not used in your period of early '60s.

I've subscribed to your channel, I think your content and skills are excellent! Thanks (Julian?) for making these videos. Rgds from Holland, Joachim

the pedestrian crossing has really worked out well. just a tip maybe used a paint marker instead of paint, still a nice effect..........best wishes Tony

Ahh you used Illustrator. I use Indesign at work . well done.

Another good video, keep them coming. Just one observation, I think if you had less paint on you sponge the bleeding would have been eliminated. The markings would have looked more worn - I don't mean this as a criticism because it's a good idea. Look forward to your next one. Best regards, John.

would spraying with a lacquer or shellack help stop the moisture Problem.

I think your main problem is your stenciling technique, once you dip the sponge into the paint, dab it onto a paper towel to remove the excess, almost like dry brushing.

What period are you modelling as the zig-zag lines at zebra crossings weren't introduced until 1971? Single yellow lines came in with the 1950s, with double yellow lines in 1958 (trial in London) and nationally from 1960. There were also dashed yellow lines, but these are now no longer used (although in sound places were resurfacing hasn't occurred since the 1980s you can still see their ghostly image). Yellow was only used until the1980s for parking restrictions, all other lines should be white until then. The Traffic Signs Manual is a good source for information, but you need to have the right one for your modelling period. The first version was published in 1965 and coincided with the introduction of the current road signs based on the findings of the Worboys Committee and the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals. Another source for information is legislation.gov.uk which has copies of many if the Acts passed by Parliament. Have you considered using a small DIY roller, the kind used to seal the edges of wallpaper,to secure your templates?
