Hello James, let allow me to share my similar experience into Mr. Prasert's very useful topic. I can simply say we can use any kind of paper, but I prefer for a thin carton sheet (no matter whether they're new or ex-used).

Assuming that the base was for 1/35 scale, draw your desired pattern onto the sheet (commonly rounded, rectangle, or squared) by using an assistance from a 1/35 figure's foot to make sure that they're logically fit (not under-size, also not over-size).

Cut them one by one carefully. If you prepare them in a large amount, do not forget to collect them in a safe container. On your ready-to-used ground base, glued them one-by-one carefully using a nipper. Let them dry for a couple minutes. After that, your cobblestones are ready to be fashioned!

Sorry for not using images, but I hope this link can also be useful for additional references: Build Log:"Komm und nimm es dir!"Diorama, just see directly to post #9. Since I also want to improve my techniques, can't wait also for Mr. Prasert's more representative illustration and explanation about making this cobblestones

Thank you all


Kind regards from Indonesia,



Garry

Hello Frank, I recommend to use a carton sheet, new one or ex-used, no problem. Not too thick, not too thin. Assuming you desired for a 1/35 diorama or vignette, make them logically 1/35 by using an aid from 1/35 figure's foot. The master key is: the weathering! If you do your fun and great feel for weathering, I guarantee that there will be no problem what kind of paper you got Have it your way!


Best regards from Indonesia,


Garry

Howdy Prasert
I have to agree with Bill. Show us an update. I'm very interested to see how it came out. Did you use primer on the paper? You can save a lot of modelers a ton of money with this technique.
Thanks for sharing,
Don "Lakota"

If you PM with your email address, I can send you a scale calculator for models. It has everything from 1:1 to 1:720 scale, and is graded in inches, millimeters, centimeters, almost any measurement you can think of...

Hello James, thanks for your offering, I believe that it will be useful and interesting! I will PM to your email as you recommended. In my post, such explanation just to show my way to do cobblestone in a simple manner, especially for 1/35 scale, disregarding how much accurate in width and length, but still logical and fun. Again, many thanks for your offering of better accuracy in building a groundwork, I will learn a lot


Best regards,


Garry

Sorry to my late reply. Thanks so much for your praise message. For the question mostly I use wall putty and stopper to each gaps of the brick then wipe it by moistened with water sponge.

So, essentially, you used the standard method for laying tile on floors or walls by grouting in between the cobblestones...
