Hello TMPers. I have put together enough paper buildings for a good sized French village in 10mm and wish to add some streets. I'm open minded but my thought is that some grey cobblestones would work best. Trouble is I'm finding it really hard to locate a 'sheet' that's the right color and texture. Everything I see is very brown or a 'blue-grey'. I just want a neutral dark grey. Any suggestions as to where I can find this? |

link I used one of these. If you need a hand tiling a pdf to size let me know. I made an 11 x 17 color file with two 6 inch wide roads on it out of one of the reddish brown patterns. |

I found a roll of wallpaper that looks like cobblestones. For about $20 USD I got a roll that is 2' x 50'. So take a look in Home Depot, Lowes, or whatever you have nearby. |

Craft stores and gift stores sell rolls of plastic (I think) textured and printed as cobblestone streets for the porcelain "Christmas Village" sets. You might take a look at these. I've seen them at Michael's stores, but they are probably available other places, especially at this time of year. Check Wal-mart, etc. |
