What are people buying?

I've done it. Hope this gives me mojo for some WWII painting.

Nice work on the dormers. I always struggle to get them straight.

What are people doing for the cobble street bases?

If 2D mats or papers don't do it for you you have a few options.

Embossed Wallpapers can be good as their thickness means that they're good for lay on terrain.

Otherwise there are plenty of resin cast streets out there, at a cost. I've got some of the "slugworks" ones.

If you have the inclination to do terrain tiles or even a base tile for your town/village then embossed blue foam is an option. 10mm thick with a chamfered edge would probably work for a village base, if you can't face full modular tiles

All good suggestions. I’m using a 2D mat at the moment but want to graduate onto blue foam sculpted with Green Stuff World rolling pin:

Mind you, embossed wallpaper might be a good alternative, I’ve been using it as brick paper for buildings with some satisfaction and there’s a few options that would be good for roads:

If you're doing a lot, the rollers are worth the investment.
If you just want an inch or so to edge your building bases they might not be so cost effective? (Although I have seen people make their own with a suitable bit of pipe or dowel and a dremel!)

I have the Green Stuff World cobblestone rolling pin. I might try sourcing some dense foam.

Firedragon games do the thin 10mm sheets in 1ft squares, and pre pressed stones etc.... Better quality than the Ebay stuff.

Thanks for that.

[Paul]

Thanks for that.

Actually what exactly do you need? I have a few offcuts about 2inches wide and 12ish long with a rough cobble like pattern on. Happy to send them on.

Hi Paul, I just ordered from Firedragon, I have a bunch of uses for some dense foam, so thanks for that, but I will just wait for the Firedragon stuff to arrive.
