Cobblestone Streets & Stonework by Vampisol

In my latest blog post I present some cool products from a German railway modelling company called "Vampisol":

The cobblestone streets and stonework boards are very well suitable for 28mm wargaming.

Check it out if you if you like it.

Wow that looks awesome, and not too expensive as well! I especially love the Bruchstein mauerplatten, they just look fantastic with their irregular pattern. One thing that always concerns me prefabricated flat boards like that, is how to "go around a corner" with them. Any tips?

This "issue" is adressed on the Vampisol page itself. I don't know where exactly though. There are lots of tutorial PDFs and articles there. Since these dental plaster boards can be filed very easily you just place the boards so that the corners "meet" and then file around the edges so that the indentations between the stones continue. With this plaster it is even easier than with resin and it looks far more authentic and realistic.

I hope my description was somewhat understandable...

Oh yes, I understand what you mean Cianty. Their website seems very comprehensive if somewhat simple. Still their products seem very useful, so thanks for bringing it to our attention!

That stonework does look really good though, bet it paints up like a champ.

I'll let you know.

The stonework piece is especially interesting and very large. Is the wall section a square? How do the edges look like they will line up with one another; pretty smoothly I hope?

Yep, they are square. Not sure what you're asking regarding the lining up, though. Do you mean next to each other? Shouldn't be a problem...
