Another innovative idea from Green Stuff World, rolling pins to impress a pattern of bricks. This new model is for Dutch Bricks, which makes the 15th of the series
The Rolling pins are intended for impressing a continuous repeated pattern on clay and putties. They are made of clear PMMA plastic with non stick properties.

All pins measure 14,50 cm long by 2,5cm diameter. Consequently, a full turn covers an area of 14,50 x 7,85cm

The latest addition is for Dutch Bricks, impressing bricks of 4x3 to 10x3mm (variable with multiple bricks types, all of them different). Some of them are broken for more realism.

The different textures available allow to reproduce not only bricks or pavement, but also wood or cracked ice.

Looks like a really useful tool... one of those things that make you wonder how come no one thought of it before now.. Hisham

Definitely innovative and useful. I am just wondering, like the other Karl, what the scale is.

They market these as suitable for 1/35-1/76. Great idea.

The figures are 28 to 32mm scale which is approx. 1/56 to 1/48 scale. That gives you something to compare to. Hope that helps.

Here you have an example of the pavement pin with an 1/35 figure. Knowing that all pins are of the same size you can have an approximated idea of the scale for the rest.

Some of the pin are on sale now with a 20% discount.

look at specialist catering tools on certain auction sites for other tools like this! Cake decorators are asked to do wild and crazy things all the time!

Frederick, Jesper, Carlos- thanks for the info guys! I'll definitely have to get some of these and give them a go.

There is a long-standing argument that the reason why humans have high, flat foreheads is not from the expansion of our brains through evolution, but rather an acquired trait from hundreds of thousands of generations seeing an idea which is obvious in retrospect and striking their foreheads with the heel of their hand in recognition of the fact. You can find carved rolling pins for producing patterned cookies going back centuries, but the idea of using them for producing road surface textures quickly never occurred to me.
