Sd kfz 234/2 puma

[zappa]

Hi everyone,
My latest build, an italeri puma 1/35.
The usual out of the box build, this kit whent together really nice, it was very fun to build.
I used some AK products for the weathering (a first time user of this stuff).
Still debating weather I should put it on a base ie a cobblestone road or some dirt road.
Anyone has idea's for some DIY cobblestones?

Well here are some pics, enjoy and let me know what you think.

Maybe try a piece of drywall to make a cobblestone street. Scribe the pattern then gently sand it to round off the edges.

Bullet 21,
I got some beans form the bulk section at superstore.
They are split in half and a nice size so ill build a test road and see.

I also found some plastruck sheets that have cobbles at the hobby shop, ill try the DIY way first.

That Puma looks awesome, just a neat looking AFV even before that killer paint job.
That idea with the split beans sounds good, you're going to have to show some pics. I only mentioned the drywall trick because that was what I used once in my one and only attempt at making a street like that. Messy, but it worked.
Next time I get to Edmonton I might have to look you up and pick your brain, maybe spill a beer or two as you share some of your tips.

Always welcome!
