A 1/35 European Cobbled Street.

Hi Ron...better than my pea cobble stones. I may suspect the same as Tim on the shape of the cobble stones in that pattern but I wasn't there.:smiling4:

Cheers,

Tim and Richard.
The images of 'cobbles' you have probably been looking at elsewhere are not cobbles, but sets.
Cobbles or cobble stones are naturally round, different sizes and are usually laid in a random form. Whereas sets are quarried and shaped on site, usually square. Sets on roads and streets are usually laid to some sort of design.

Anyway, round, square, landing craft shaped my main aim was to have a crack at the pattern........

You’re probably right Ron, and you’ve certainly cracked the pattern!

Nice to see Ron the description of cobbles being round, and sets square or oblong. Monica's sizing about right , though they do vary from country to country. Bricks, mmm. even more confusing !

spanner: the black circles defining each cobble - am I right in thinking you made them (a huge number) by dipping the end of a drinking straw or similar in black paint and using it as a stamp?

[Guest]

Wow you definitely did a good job :thumb2:

Hi Ron, I spotted a couple of over-stamp area,s which can easily be covered but apart from that its a sure sign that patience is definitely a great modellers virtue :-) Fantastic result. Can't wait to see the final results

Ron your work never fails to impress me. I love how you can turn every day things into a modellers delight.
