Juweela have released news of some items they will be releasing onto the market soon. The item that caught my eye is the Flexway paving sheets.
I will start by providing the text from Juweela on this new product;
Juweela starts in 2015 with the first item of a completely new range and product line – with complete new, creative and individual possibilities – together with an easy usage: FLEXYWAY!

Flexyway are separate bricks/pavers/plates… which are already built. Undersided with a carrier material being pliable. The joints between the stones are continuous (no binding of the stones together) – therefore the whole is flexible and segments can be used as endless space without visible joints between segment to segment. Paver joints can be filled with a special material (we have also developed for this purpose) to be put into joints. Together with a fog of water material will become hard.

To create some destructions into segment: Simply remove some bricks/stones or press them down.

Flexyway enables a fast and simply usage (also for beginners): Trace grooves in the plaster; holes/crates/damages; individual walls with single missing bricks … BRIEFLY: The optics of a realistically built surface with realistic material (ceramics; as all Juweela stones) with low temporal expenditure. If the segment is easily bent, the stones behave like in the original (because stones don´t bend, but „step out of line irregularly“).


Already ready and orderable (available from approx. the middle of February):
FLEXYWAY paver segment "herringbone" for 1:45-1:50 (O scale )
160 bricks firmly moved, removable one by one
Incl. joint material grey

In preparation:
1:87 Flexyway „herringbone“ – with sided gutter
1:87 load scraped metal
1/45 briquettes of coal „Rekord“
1:32 Flexyway „H-pavers“
Planned for 2015:
Flexyway cobblestone in different scales.

I am personally looking forward to seeing the 1/35th scale offerings of this product as it will allow undulated surfaces to be quickly laid out using the same method as the small glass tiles on backing sheets bought for tiling bathrooms and the like. By also supplying the bricks as loose offerings bends can also be easily replicated, or if preferred the bricks can be removed from the backing sheet to allow a bend to be replicated. While the current offerings are in the form of herringbone paved surface, I hope to see cobblestone surfaces amongst others in 1/35th scale and of course other scales to satisfy modellers in other scales.

I hope that Juweela takes the time to check the comments that you our members leave here, because I believe you will come up with suggestions that Juweela may not think of.

I should also Thank Fred for publishing this news on Railroad Modelling, which brought it to my attention in the first place.

Hello Till, I live in the US. I've already contacted some of the aforementioned US and overseas distributors and have been searching online without any success thus far. —mike

Hello Mike, please contact our US importer Secret Weapon Miniatures - contact is Justin McCoy ([email protected]). I know that he is currently preparing a further order. I´m sure that he will add everything that is needed. Regarding shipping costs it would be the cheapest way for you if he would simply add your wishes to his order, because we ship a parcel to him anyway. - Till

Hey Till, Not sure if I missed it but are there plans for a brick layout in 1/72 like the picture in my link ? LINK Cheers

@Robbd01: that shape would be no problem for us. Something like this is already planned...
JUN 26, 2015 - 02:24 PM
Great, I look forward to it. Post it here when your new stuff is available. Cheers

I´m happy to say that first Flexyway item for 1/32-35 is ready: LINK

Thought I’d give this one more shot … Does anyone know if these will ever be available? … ‘Flexyway’ cobblestone pavement sheets. I’m looking to purchase the 1/35 rectangular brick type (as seen in the opening photo). These would be very helpful for a large cobblestone street scene that I have in the works. I’ve already been in touch with ‘Secret Weapon Miniatures’ (the US distributor) — doesn’t seem to be happening there. —mike
