Source for scale cobblestone street?

[Harry P.]

I also posted this in "General," but maybe more answers will come from the people who regularly check out this section.

Anyway... I want to put my 1/12 Bentley Blower on a "cobblestone street" base. The kit includes a molded plastic base, but there are two problems: the base is in two parts and has a seam right through the middle of it, plus the molded-in cobblestone pattern is pretty lame.

Ideally I'd like actual separate pieces that I can lay down in any pattern I want, like a mosaic. I thought that maybe a place that sells dollhouse stuff might have something, but all I could find were scale bricks. I suppose I could do a brick street surface instead, but I'd rather do the cobblestone look.

Any ideas?

That's exactly the look I'm after, but those bases are way too small (the Bentley is 1/12 scale, it'll never fit on those bases).

Here's one option I found interesting but may not be what your looking for.

Interesting. If I come up empty I might just do it that way.

How big is the Bentley?

[Harry P.]

1/12 scale. It's about 14 inches long.

Harry, the other best option might just be to pour the plaster and then carve your own cobblestones . . . it'll be tedious work, but it would probably go faster than you think.

I'm sort of liking the dried split peas idea...

Actually a couple of friends are the ones who actually solved the problem. Thanks, Mark and Mark... the SoCal "M&Ms"...
