toc36 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Came across this Youtube video that shows a tape product for adding detail. Anyone use it? Is there one for streets? Thanks Link to comment
bill937ca Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I have used nail art strip tape from eBay for road markings for my simple 4 meter wide road. Sorry I don't have a current working link. Link to comment
cteno4 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Put nail tape into ebay search. Works well around or just under 1mm so about 4-6” wide scale. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Rolls-30-Colors-Nail-Art-Tape-Lace-Line-Strips-Design-Decoration-DIY-Polish/143054899530?var=442018887717&hash=item214ebc894a:g:bqUAAOSwzwVcFy-5 yellow and white are the two suspects! jeff 2 Link to comment
Yavianice Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 European manufacturers also have road as a roll @toc36 with decorations that you have to rub and apply. But obviously they won't be following japanese example. https://www.reynaulds.com/products/Busch/7087.aspx But it might be handy if you want to cover some miles... err, feet, on your layout.

bill937ca Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 That platform tape is a Popondetta product. It is listed at HS, but sold out. https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10505657 https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10505658 There apparently also are road line tapes, but I did not find them on HS. No doubt more expensive than nail tape. Link to comment

C $150.00 (approx. US $111.17) shipping Living in Canada is WEIRD. Link to comment
cteno4 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Yikes! Maybe try some others to see if not the hideous shipping. It was free here. But ebay has this deal with USPS and China Post to do bulk shipping very cheap to the us. If you cant find one with reasonable shipping I have several of these and could pop one in the post to you. jeff Link to comment
Martijn Meerts Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Sounds like they’re trying to ship actual roads instead of scale road tape o.O Link to comment

It'll be a while before I start in on the n-scale layout. 5 hours ago, Martijn Meerts said: Sounds like they’re trying to ship actual roads instead of scale road tape o.O I'm not entirely sure that roads wouldn't be cheaper! I often see weirdly out of scale shipping from rando ebayers, but $150 for an ounce of tape is probably the worst I've ever seen. But Hey! Each additional item is *free*!
