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

Looks to be an interesting tool. Ideal for doing roads rather than doing them stone by stone. It doesn't give any idea though as to how they scale out though as they seem to only show fantasy stuff in the videos where scale doesn't really matter too much. Would the bricks etc be huge in 1/35th?

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

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.

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!

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.
