Things You'll Need:
- post-card stock paper scissors or paper cutter 12 ounce can of Stone Touch Spray Paint by Plasti-kote ruler sharp pencil old newspaper craft glue round toothpicks
-
Step 1
Draw lines at three-fourth inch intervals horizontally across a page of white post-card stock. If your model city council stipulated that sidewalk panels must be 5 feet square, you are just slightly larger than code because in HO-scale this would be 0.69 inches.
-
Step 2
Draw a second set of lines at three-fourths inch intervals vertically down the same page of white post-card stock. The result will look like a grid in which the individual cells each have an area that is three-fourths square inches.
-
Step 3
Cut out the squares. Lay them out so that they do not touch on a piece of old newspaper. Spray the squares with Stone Touch spray paint. This will coat them with what looks like cement.
-
Step 4
Wait for the paint to dry before gluing each square in place on the base of your lay-out. You can make long sidewalks by laying out one square next to another. You can also make cement patios and driveways by laying the panels to fill those designated areas.
-
Step 5
Make curbs by laying round toothpicks along the outside edge of the sidewalks. Spray them with Stone Touch spray paint first. Glue them down after the paint dries.
