Because it wasn't ahead of its time! But its lack of weathering is very apparent in that photo! Yikes!
I got the parking lot lined, and have yet more questions. Where the solid line meets the concrete wall, I want to put a sign post with a chevron, stop sign and perhaps an "authorized personnel only" sign. I'm pretty sure I've read that the red and white stop sign we all know so well came into use around the time I'm modeling, but what about the chevron? Were they black and white or yellow and black? I'll be scrubbing the lot with greys to weather it, and am thinking it would be nice to add names and the word "visitor" to the parking places modelled (the other parking places are off layout) but will need to use decals, not dry transfers, as I can not rub too vigorously on the fomecore, it is not well supported! Do you think I can use glosscote on the foamcore, decal and then dullcote? I'll be adding a guard rail along the edge of the macadam and the grass.
