Roads from Shingles

I am always impressed when I see a clever use of common (read cheap and easily obtainable) materials to make effective war-games terrain.  I just came across this great article by Architects of War on how to make roads from cheap asphalt roof shingles - very clever and they are very suitable for smaller scales in particular.  To the hardware store!

    Great idea. Not sure how available these are in the UK but rest assured I'll be hunting the interweb momentarily!

    Glad it was useful - not a common item in Oz either, I'll take a collection home from the US with me I think
