hi guys,

what do you use for your cobblestone streets or how do you make them?

streets full of Mark Copplestone? You'll need a cloning device for sure. Otherwise, looking through the gothic horror board, you could find several ways to do it ;)

For my 25mm/28mm figures, I use O scale Random Course Stone plastic sheets/plastic card (7.5 inches x 12") by JTT Architectural Model Parts.  It comes in HO scale as well if you prefer something smaller.  You can see what it looks like in my Pirate Gallery at www.warin15mm.com/Pirates.html

I should have added that Plastruct makes the exact same thing in O scale/same size sheets and the exact same stone shapes.  The item number for Plastruct is 91560.  Despite the fact that it is identical to the JTT, Plastruct is about $4.00 more for the same two-sheet pack.  The JTT  item number is 97445.

Yes of course cobblestone.

looks good in your pirate village "War in 15mm" - so all you have to do is paint them and cut them to the size you want? I google them and the images just look like plain white paper

I've been looking on the JTT website but can't seem to find either item.

Do you have a direct link to the page with them on?

Lemax ceramic village have sheets of textured material - a Pebble Mat and Brick Mat.
http://www.lemaxcollection.com/showproducts.aspx?deptID=545

It's pretty good stuff and often available at a reduced price online or at the garden centre.

I have seen that and it's amazingly chap, however getting it to Denmark is not. It's just the product I'm looking for but paying £20 in shipment for a £3 product is doing my head in.

There's still a significant hole in the market for affordable, good looking options out there for covering large areas of table.
 
Most of these model kit ones look fantastic but try covering even a 4'x6' with them. Then erasing the seams between the joins seem like more trouble than it's worth given the quantity needed. The lemax ones are pricey and the cobbles are totally out of scale.

I think the best answer is in the textured wallpaper arena but I haven't quite nailed down the exact type.

If I were to home-make it I would take a large black cloth or sheet and make up a rubber stamp with a random cobble pattern on it and with gray fabric paint meticulously press it all out.

"One of My Men Became Restless" focuses on 15mm Horse & Musket periods and 25mm Horse & Musket, Fantasy, Horror and Victorian everything! Occasionally there'll be stuff of related interest but it's mostly a painters blog.  See it all here: http://flashman14.blogspot.com/
