Hi,
I'm putting together some research of a late war dio of the Totenkopf in Budapest with a burnt out late war Tiger using 1/35 Dragon Kits.
I have been to Budapest on several occasions and with using the intenet have found that Plus Models do a nice street frontage very similar to the streets of Budapest, everything else I have sorted ie. ruined funiture disgarded toys etc street lights etc. What I need help with is the cobbled surface of the road. What is the best way to get the desired effect?
Any help would be gratefully recieved and progress photos will be put up as I go along, starting with sketches.
Many thanks in advance
Graeme

Graeme, the June 2009 Military Modelling had an article on cobbled streets, by Emmanuel Nouaillier. I don't think that article is online on their site, but there are some others by him, some of which use similar techniques to produce brickwork. Essentially he uses featherboard, which is that expanded styrene sheet sandwiched between two layers of card, often used by architectural model builders. He embosses it using various tools. For cobbles he was using an old paintbrush with all the hairs pulled out, then the ferrule was shaped into the cobble shaped rectangle and used to emboss the card. He also gave some very nice painting advice and he certainly does produce some great looking street scenes.

Military Modelling site does have this article by him:
