Need help… Got any ideas on the best way to make a good cobblestone road way and also hoe to simulate a curb all in 1/35?? need all the good ideas that any one has. thanx and keep the armour rolling[}:)]
Verlinden and the other similar company probably make one. Pouring a slab out of plaster and scribing it would work. As for the curb, quarter round could be used for straight aways.
I seem to remember somebody suggesting split peas or lentils for the cobblestones, though I don’t remember the scale.
Yup, split peas or split lentils work great for cobblestone. Just glue them down, then fill in the joints with diluted white glue, Paint and weather. For curbs, you can pour plaster of paris into a form (just like the real thing) and then sand the edge over round to smooth it off.
The lentils work pretty good. I am currently using the non skid pad for under carpet. It has that same pattern of cobblestone, can be cut to shape with a pair of scissors and then gone over with spackle or dry wall compound for the mortar between stones. Once painted, washed and drybrushed it looks pretty good. Sidwalks I take a piece of luan (1/8 - 1/4" plywwod, often sold as door skin) and glue it to the base. Cover it with compound and then scribe the detail. Lots of fun.

in the past, what I"ve done is just pour plaster of paris or something similar to that, and just carve out the stones. Worked great for me. I"m sure there are easier ways out there though.
