ianp Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 In your view, which manufacturers make the best/most authentic model pavements for a French village or town? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacific231G Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I think that probably depends on what material you're using for the building. Plasticard has a different feel from Card. So, for my H0 layout the buildings are from plastic kits or scratchbuilt from Plasticard and such pavement as there is as well as some cobbles are from plastic sheet. On my H0m layout the buildings are all scratchbuilt from foam core, card and paper but there is some plasic pavement and it doesn't quite look right (though probably would with a bit more use of textured paint. I think to some extent that it's a bit like a painting. An artist might use oils, acrylics or water colour and all are valid but they wouldn't normally - in a traditional painting at least- use more than one in the same work. For plastic I've found Wills and Slaters sheets to be fine. With card I'd probably go for scratch as printed card and paper (which suppliers like Regions et Compagnies also do) does look different again.
