A couple of folks have asked about the ‘wilkinsons tiles’ that I have shown in the blog.
I can confirm that these were bought from Wilkinsons and can be bought online or in store for £5.95.
They are vinyl, come in packs of six, and are c30cm x 30cm in size.

They are self adhesive – I have mounted mine on hardboard bases in a variety of shapes and sizes.

The buildings (tan coloured are the farm set from EM4 - totally happy with these :D
As far as paved streets go they are a great option – in the coming weeks I am going to try and give them an ink wash to dirty them up a bit
Floor tiles offer a multitude of possibilities – check out the diy stores – all my rivers have been made using the oxford blue tiles from Homebase

Good spot! If I'm allowed out of the house this weekend I might see if I can pick some up.
-
They can be found online as well.
-
Do they have a texture, as in, are the 'stones' raised at all (bring a bit on Tuesday with you :) )?
cheers

No texture as such.
I think the real question is why they are eve.n on the shelf...
-
quite interesting indeed!
-
That is a good find.

Most of the range is really handy and, best of all, cheap! I made my road sections out of two packs of these.
