discussion Cobblestone streets in 1/35.

They look pretty good. I see that Mini-Art are also soon to release a set of European cobbled street. They look good as well and have that nice fan shaped pattern often seen in the older parts of Europe.

Some cake shops sell wood effect, brick and cobbled stone impression mats. I picked up a wood and brick effect from my local cake shop in Wycombe. Was about £9 but it can work on plaster, paint etc. Measures about 3"x7"

Nit-picking pedant here... The word "cobble" comes from geology, meaning a rock roughly between 3" to 9" across rounded by being transported in a fast flowing stream or river. It is smaller than a boulder and larger than a pebble. A "set" is a manufactured square or oblong block around A6 paper size used for roads etc. In Aberdeen granite sets are common (AKA "cassies").

So now you know.
