Undulations and sewers - Another update while I get stuff done!

Hi Guys!

Hopefully you can see here the cool undulating road effect I've managed to achieve for the cobblestones! it's a LOT more striking with depth perception, a bit like the hill video - cameras SUCK at capturing that magic so if you want to see the true effect, you'll have to make it ;)

Having the road uneven like this, as well as having the gutters slope down I think are two easy, little details that add SO MUCH to the feel of the build - they make it feel like a real road, rather than a terrain tile 😁

You can also see on the left there, the variant kerb that will have a paper printable template to cut using the hot wire, using a similar method as the one used for the blades in the soul columns video - gluesticks...

Very easy to cut out, and another awesome little detail that brings life to the street :)

Progress update wise, as you can see I've just finished basecoating the bulk of the tiles, painting proper begins tomorrow :) I'm very happy with the final building method and result, I ended up scrapping the sanding block idea and reverting to trimming with a knife, but AFTER gluing to the tile, which helps line up a 90 degree finish!

I spent much of yesterday and some of today fixing my mistakes with lining up the clay and the edge of the tile - it took a while but this is the kind of thing I can find out for you guys and help you avoid when you make things yourself :)

And there is no way I could do it without your support - I have never felt less pressured to rush a project and end up under-delivering just to make sure the channel gets enough ad money to keep going, I'm able to work at a sensible pace and make sure the end result is all the better for you guys.

Thank you all so much for helping me make videos the way I (we!) both want them to be made, not the way YouTube wants us to make them :)
