The town of Silver Onyx is getting a new structure but the 1930s “brick” building needs sidewalks.
Have you ever done sidewalks? Ideas on techniques or materials?
Set the building on a sheet of pink foam then score and paint it? The foam, that is, the building looks nicely painted.
Foam or acrylic base with vinyl patching cement spread over the top. For sidewalks, I’d probably go about 1/4" thick.

Another way of making sidewalks could be to use a cement walkway block as a base, and find some tiles that could be cut and cemented to the base to make a sidewalk… it would give a firm and heavy foundation for the building and sidewalk…
I’ve had numerous biuldings blown around by high winds…

Tell Rooster to shaddup and that won’t be so much of a problem… 
The top story of the gold mill is in the shop for repair. A dust devil blew it about 30 feet the other day and when it landed upside-down it ripped some of the metal and cracked the frame!
Luckily it landed where a building had been two weeks before!
Doug, I use Wonder Board (cement counter top material), as a base for all my buildings, which minimizes moisture wicking, provides weight for wind ballast, and if extended beyond the front of the building, can be scored to appear as a sidewalk and painted with a cement colored paint.
