28mm Scale Embossed Wallpaper for Medieval Fortifications UK?
« on: October 24, 2019, 08:09:14 AM »
I'm contemplating putting together some kind of Medieval City wall and remembered seeing in a mag or book that you could buy wallpaper that is embossed with stonework like image. It has to be embosses ie slightly 3D.

I've looked online but the manufacturers/vendors have this strange habit of not mentioning if it's suitable for 28mm wargaming  lol

Do any of my fellow LAF members know of where I can buy any that would scale to 28mm preferably in the UK, possibly in the EU?

Thanks

Hello !

If you do not mind ...

An economical and flexible solution could be the textured rolls proposed by Shifting lands or Greenstuff world!

https://shop.shiftinglands.com/27-structure-cylinders

I use them with hardening modeling clay that is very economical!

You should do some tests ...

(I am getting there slowly)

I've got a roll I bought a while back for doing cobbled streets - it's a sort of rough stone/brickwork effect. I think I bought it in B&Q or something like that. You want what's left?

I'd love it! Thank you.

PM me your details Cubs and we'll sort something out!

Even if it's the case that I only have a sample then it's something to take into the shops and compare with other similar textures.

Wow! A complete surprise to me!

They are both brilliant ideas but if only there was an irregular stone set that could be used for stone fortress walls :(

Go to stores like B&Q, Homebase, Wilco & The Range.
They all do embossed paper, just keep your eyes open.
Two years ago I got some (free) sample bits that were
perfect for Roman walls. I should have bought a roll at
the time, because when I had used up the samples...
it was no longer available. The Range, at the moment,
have a very nice embossed one (in gold or silver, but it will
be painted over)that I think will be ideal for Victorian streets.
The whole roll is over £20, however a couple of samples
should be enough for a skirmish scenario.
Good hunting.

Thanks, one kind chap is sending me a sample now so i can scale it up against some mini's and know what i'm looking for size wise. :)
