Modeling a Western Street Scene | On30 Goldfield & Calico

I'm headed back to the old mining town of Calico this week to finish the street scene and build a few grade crossings. Starting from bare plywood and cork, I show my process for modeling dirt roads with sanded grout and go step by step through the build of some rustic wooden grade crossings. Then it's time for weeds, weathering, and a Model T truck load of details to complete the scene.
Thanks for watching!
