I suppose the textured lens you get in the inset florescent lights could work too.

I used a piece of square, brass tubing and a a product called magic sculpt. I did about a 6inch by 6 inch square and then used that to make the molds.

My Dear Dewkabuk,

I have rolls of 'sample' textured wallpaper from Wickes at Chilwell, if you wants it, you cans have it, My Precious...

Especially as I know what it"s for and I'll be helping run the game!

Looks great. Are the individual "cobblestones" in scale or oversized?

That ebay seller does a sample piece 75mm x 75mm for just 99p

I'll certainly take a look, I've never been too happy with the wallpapers but I can always change my mind :)

Did you get my email with the pics of a certain police station base?
So many projects..... so little time.......

They end up more "slab size", so yes, way too big to be actual in scale cobbles, but they do sort of look right....

Ill try and get a pick later to show what i mean with a 28mm figure in place...

Please do, Colonel!
This stuff looks the Bo*****s business.

This is my choice:

http://www.thehobbygoblin.co.uk/products/Wills-SSMP204-Granite-Sets.html

Yep, that's my preferred pattern too, but those sheets are so small it'll cost a fortune to cover the board.

4 sheets 76 x 133mm for £2.75 is not that bad. I use a board of 1 x 0,8 meter for skirmish games. The board has an edge so that I can insert mdf sheets with different texture, incl wills, with. 18 packs of 4 sheets are needed so cost is £50 + postage.

Make a section and cast it so they don't dry out and warp and Bob's your uncle  :)
