Out with the Olfa cutter!

I start with a piece of plastic card a a length of track on the bench!

There is an idea in my head! That is very unusual as Mrs. Woody would confirm!

Having used the track to take some measurements, a suitable strip was cut and marked out at 2mm wide strips.

Then those marked strips were scored with an Olfa cutter. The blade cuts a gouge out of the plastic sheet and you can see the plastic it has gouged out on the cutting mat.

Those strips represent the gaps between planks of wood. Using some more measurements from the track the large strip was cut into smaller parts and some plastic strip glued under the scored surface.

So, What are these Woody?

 With a bit of painting t=and glued in place these plastic strips become a track crossing, They look a bit stark in that brown so...

...a bit of weathering was applied and they look as though they have been in place for years just like me!
