Just found some new tools.

Saw this on another forum and thought I would share since I got all excitable about it.

They have ten textured rollers, and a bunch of other quite useful stuff.  I now know where I am going to be spending my hobby funds for the next couple of months.

Nice find. The bricks and cobbles could be very useful indeed.

Thanks for the tip, looks like an interesting store.

The rolling pins are stated to have a diameter of one inch, so you would get a little over three inches of bricks or cobblestones before the pattern repeats itself. I think I'll stay away from the brick & cobblestone pins for now as I'd only be interested in having them for terrain-building (not making themed bases or mini-dioramas for figures, which seems to be their main purpose) and I'm not crazy about repeating patterns, but I might still change my mind. The runic and celtic ones could be interesting to have, although they seem more like "cool but expensive toys" than modelling tools I'll have a lot of use for, unless I decide to build a dwarf hall, a devil-worshipers' temple or whatever kind of place would be covered in celtic engravings.

At any rate, they have a few other products I want, so thanks again!

Acquired some for reviewing, can't remember which ones exactly but think the runic one and the cobbles. Will post the review here when ready 😉 great store by the way bought a shedload of miliput from them.

Would they imprint on blue foam to save on scoring all those lines by hand?

[Predatorpt]

Here are 2 bases, made with their Runic Rolling Pin.






I really like them. But I don't think they would work with blue foam - @Mindenbrush

[FramFramson]

I think you could make one to work with blue foam if it had a deeper relief/stronger texture. You'd also want to vary brick height.

[Elk101]

Use on bases exactly as shown above was what appealed to me.

I tried making my own version of these (unsuccessfully I might add) a few years ago! 

I have to say the imprint they leave looks a bit soft-edged to me? Or is that just the reflection / puffing-up of the GS?

How does it work with putties like Milliput?

Never used it with Millput. And my GS is really old, it tends to puff out a bit. The imprint is fine when used with newer GS (a friend of mine did it without a problem, I'll see if he has pictures of his bases).

That would be great if you don't mind asking him, thank you.

That runic rolling pin would actually look interesting as a piece of terrain in its own right... maybe drill into the base to insert an LED for that strange eldritch glow?

Put one of those tea lights with the fake flicker under it!

Unfortunately my friend didn't take pictures of his bases before plonking his figures on top of them. We'll have to wait for the review by @Belgian.

Could you try using it on blue foam to see if the pattern takes. I would be very interested yo find out if that works.
