For the roads along the dock basin I use a granite road texture I found some time ago here http://www.btcomm.com/trains/resource/brick_n_stone/hocking_valley_pavers_med.jpgI had to resize it a little bit using the sett texture from Scalescenes as a reference.
I had to build the road op with two layers of 2 mm card to get it even with the dock edge.
On the picture you can see the starting point of the road.
road modeling in progress
With the embossing pen I scratched in every stone individually. I also tried to give the road surface a more uneven appearance pusshing a thicker embossing pen on some stones. Then I used a black color pencil to give the road some more texture.
Later on I stopped using the color pencil and used Carbon Black pigment, which I dry brushed on the textures surface and rubbed in with a soft paper handkerchief.
After varnishing the surface with a light coat I started weathering the surface with a few other pigments to get the final result. After I glued the road in place I gave it a final weathering, with my favorite mixture getting the dock edge and road together.
I like the way you can work with pigments on a card surface.
Two pictures of the final result. I hope you like them.

Now I can start laying the track and the road before the warehouses.
