Jac FlemingFinished my cobblestone road,
Made the stones from Das clay, made sheets of 4mm thick and cut them with a steel ruler.
After drying I did a color wash so it makes it easier to see the details in the stones.
Glued them with PVA glue, Stones are easy to cut if necessary with a box cutter.
When finished the road I sprayed it with a matt black primer
Then a dark grey layer Tamiya XF-24.
After that I got 6 different grey and 1 sand color and start to paint individual stones.
Varnish coat is applied now.
Then a wash with Tamiya Brown mixed with a little tamiya black wash.
When dry, I made a sand wash from siffed garden sand mixed with 20% pva and water 80%
Wipe the road after it set for 1/2 hour with a moist sponge or brush, at your personal taste.

Brian EberleTechnique question. What did you use as a mold for the water edge? Nice clean line achieved in your diorama.
