How do you do yours....  :icon_scratch:

I found for myself that the back of my craft knife\scalpel is a nice size for the gap between stones, I was using the edge of a sculpting tool but the gap was too big.

This is a general topic and tips for doing other effects is welcome too.  :icon_wink:

I buy in, no chance of me sculpting my own.  I have some rubber mats with coloured cobblestone on and some plastic sheets with the textured effect on them.  Got the sheets off Geronimo.  I have just ordered some bases from aaroncains and his cobblestone bases are really nice so am sure he can let on how he did them  :icon_w00t:

Was it Geronimo who had the "SF floor" textures to? In that case your package arrived yesterday Geronimo. Thanks!
When Ive done cobble stones/ stone sets I have made a cavity for them in green stuff and then filled the cavity after drying with round balls (for cobble stones) and square blobs (for stonesets)

ah... OK... Thanks!

It didn't say "Wristaction" on the packet  ;)

I have this odd "politeness" thing about internet forums. If someone chooses to go by a nick I NEVER use their real name unless specifically asked/ordered to. Hence I have trouble remembering real names even if someone has told me.

I don't mind the least if OTHERS use my real name though...

If I put Wristaction on it the customs would have open it for sure.  :icon_suspicious:

I tend to use user names on open forums and real names on non public ones and messages, that's why i call you CH in public.  :icon_wink:
