Harry P. Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 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?

Harry P. Posted January 9, 2012 Author Posted January 9, 2012 Will thins work: http://www.monroeper...product=MPD2401? 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. http://www.internetm...lestonebase.php Interesting. If I come up empty I might just do it that way.
Dr. Cranky Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 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.
Harry P. Posted January 9, 2012 Author Posted January 9, 2012 I'm sort of liking the dried split peas idea...
