Wall paper for cobblestone basing (update 3/11/21 samples pg. 2)

I just received my samples from wallpaper direct. The total cost of four 8 1/2“ x 11“ pieces of vinyl wallpaper was two dollars.

Wallpaper direct is a US-based company that provides European and UK wallpaper designs.



The pattern looks great, some of the stones may be a little bit big for basing 25 mm miniatures, but there are also some very good options in there. You will just have to pick the best areas out of the pattern for your miniatures.

I am preparing a couple minis for Mordheim and we’ll see how this stuff stands up to basing and painting.

If your going to use it on bases . Its well worth the time and effort of sealing the edge of the paper once its on the base. By smearing superglue along the edge( not directly from the tube as micro fibres will absorb more than you need and youll end up with a rough edge. Incidentally with a little practice the over absorption it's actually quite a useful technique for representing sheet metal cut with a blow tourch, and corrosion .)
As it helps reduce delamination of the paper over time once it's been painted.

That's very good information, thank you. Hopefully this weekend I'll have a chance to try it out on a couple of test miniatures.
