[Sangennaru]

Hi everyone!


EDIT: NOW THE COBBLESTONE ARE READY FOR ORDERS, read the post for details!

i decided i need some roads for my tables so i sculpted a small resin modular Cobblestone street, and i will cast a lot of them for my streets, and for anyone who is interested!










comments are welcome and needed!!

cheers,
Jack

almost done with the big mould, then i'll make some of them for some roads i needed.

any comments? what should I do to improve?

They look cool - only thing I'd to to make then even better would be to make some side strips so they are straight down the side.

What scale are the figures?
If 28mm I think the cobblestones look to big.
The real ones  have seen are maybe only 1' long? Maybe only about 3" wide.

it is a real cobblestone, made of stone (not brickworks!) and the tiles are  1cm x 5mm  ==> 50-60 cm x 25-30 cm in real life. quite a reasonable size.
actually, milan and all the northen part of italy is filled with this size of cobblestone. ^_^
i guess that in the ancient times it was the same... ^^

@richJ, i'm already sculpting them, actually you are right, those are quite necessary!!

hi everyone!

for the moment i finished a small display area with my cobblestone, tell me your thoughts!



Cheers,

They look very nice with a good amount of texture  (the pattern you are using is called 'herringbone' and was in use from the Tudor period up until now  ).

One thing I would suggest is to maybe make any future sheets a little bit bigger, I think with quality you a aiming for people are going to want to use them for larger areas and not just bases

Brilliant stuff Sangennaru!

[Rob_bresnen]

When I first saw them I wasn't convinced. I thought they looked a bit big. Seeing them in your scenic base, however, has changed my mind. I love them.

[Sangennaru]

Thanks mates! i really appreciate your support!

@ Jimbibilly: it was called "opus spicatum" from the romans, they used it with bricks for their squares!
I did this small section because it is meant for STREETS (i'm sculpting the borders of it), so bigger ones force people to make very large streets... if you need a path you can use this now!


if you are interested, i've made a short tutorial on my website on how i made the display base:

I understand that i'm really not experienced on modelling raw ground and nature, this is almost my first serious attempt...


anyway, i already did  a bigger mould, since some my italian friend asked me to cast them some pieces: so if anyone here is interested... i can cast them in resin for you!

[Comsquare]

Would be generally interested in some, depending on the price.

[Sangennaru]

it should be around 16 euro for a pack of 20 pieces, or 9 euro for a pack of 10... with 20 pieces you can make 2 meters of cobblestone road, or 1 meter of a large one!


sounds reasonable to you?

[Comsquare]

Sounds good to me.
I take a pack of 20.
