Right, I’ve found a decent textured wallpaper that has a 28mm passable fan cobblestone pattern (the larger end of acceptable that works for me):
This was a quick paint job and drybrush and is serviceable with a bit of dressing. This is the original finish:
I found more sandstone colours as well with the same pattern. This was from here: https://wallpapersales.co.uk/acatalog/gb6175-mosaic-berkeley-seriano-wallpaper.html - which did samples for £1.20 and what arrived is A2 folded. So I only painted half of an A4ish after folding as supplied. A roll is £13.
Here: https://www.homeflairdecor.co.uk/berkeley-mosaic-arch-texture-pewter-wallpaper-by-seriano-gb-6174-p2982 - is the beige one which has a nice picture that convinced me the texture was good. But is now out of stock.
I think this works. Sadly I don’t think it will work for me as it’s very European and/or fantasy and I’m more Tudor England at the moment and they don’t quite work. But, anyone doing Three Musketeers, WW2, Frostgrave, etc. I highly recommend it. Even the sample size (if you can stretch out the creases) would be enough for a posh square or plaza. Hope it’s of use to someone…

Great idea on using textured wallpaper for cobblestones! I need to find something similar at our local stores.
Nice stuff :) I was just wondering if you could share how you painted the cobbles? Not done something like this before and keen to give it a go!
Just dry brushed. As it was a test I didn’t give it much effort. A cheap make up brush will do you for large areas like this. Cheap craft paints will be cheaper than using proper mini paint if doing anything large like a board.
Thanks mate, that makes sense. Just wanted to check!
