Thanks guys. It's 1/24 (but think the technique also works for 1/35).

Just an apology, have not managed to sort out SBS on cobbles ........ it will get done. I blame those people who wanted asphalt! The cobbled yard, currently  Hey Gordon -- Did you ever post the SBS on cobbles ... or did I miss it?  Will settle for a photo of the "plastic bits" used for the embossing.  Thanks! Dallas |

Hi Dallas, sorry never did get round to the SBS. Got to go out for a couple of hours but will put together something later. In meantime gather the following bits together * Modelling clay, just the ordinary type that you get from any art or craft shop. * Piece of MDF or 1/4" plywood. * Water soluble white glue PVA, think Elmer's is your equivalent .... you don't want a glue that is water proof when dry ! * Assorted lengths of Evergreen or plastitruc square tubing, I used 1/4" x 3/16" and 3/16" square for 1/24 scale but the sizes are not critical. * large brushes one soft and one hard brush * optional ..... ball bearing or marble about 1 to 2" in dia. Let me know when you have the bits collected and I''l do part (ii)  |

And another photo showing local brick sidewalks and details (like french fries) to line the gutter ... here we see some local modelers or artists studying that detail ...

And, of course, no scavenger hunt would be complete without some drunken bachelorettes ... but aside from that distraction, we have a better shot of those lovely brick sidewalks here ... so, fire away with that SBS when ready! PS -- As you may have already guessed, the part of town that still has cobblestone streets is one of the more interesting areas ... might have to head back that way for more inspiration if the project becomes complicated.  |

Well, this may be a very esoteric differential ... but, technically, college girls on Halloween ... even the police were having a nice time ... and the horseys made a nice clippity-clop on the cobblestones. |

I'm happily divorced ... and allowed to stay out as late as I want without excuse or explanation ... so, I was studying the COBBLESTONES (it's always about the modeling, eh?) ... and making new friends! Oh, further excuse ... on an ordinary day, there's bumper-to-bumper traffic on that street, so it would be dangerous to study the cobblestones ... on this occasion, the police were kind enough to block off all vehicular traffic, so it was a good time to study the street and take a leisurely stroll. PS -- In 1/35 scale, Aurora Model makes some lovely "Halloween" figures: http://aurora-model.jp/e-index.htmlSo, as soon as Gordon gives me the info on the cobblestones, I'll be all set! (I want to get rid of the crappy pressed-foam street outside the extremely-unfinished 1/35 cafe) Oh, and for a trans-Atlantic tie-in, those photos were shot on Thames Street (and, much to the amusement of our British friends, this is not far from Pratt Street). |
