Decided it was time to make some cobblestone roadway... here is a little step by step of how I do it... after the wood was sealed and dry you add your thin layer of clay (I got the clay on Amazon.com).  Then you semi level it and using a straight edge and sharp tool, I used a scrubber, you draw your straight lines through the clay.  Then it's time to randomly place your cross bar lines to make cobblestone squares offsetting each row.  Then you can lightly run a ball of crumpled tin foil over it for texture... if you lose any lines re-scribe them.  Then add your curbs if you want and let air dry a few days before painting and weathering will take place...

Looks awesome Joe and thanks for the how to do it. I would of never thought of using the tin foil ball for texture.

Finally painted cobblestone road... Dark wash by MIG first, then dry brush with Tamiya medium grey, then deck tan, then white...
