In one of the replies on my entry Street Scene Design was written: “Also bear in mind that in the 'fifties' these areas would still have 'flagstone' paving rather than the later concrete types - and they would be rutted & disrupted by vehicles. Road surfaces would often be of cobblestone or granite setts.”
For the road surfaces I already choose for granite setts. For the pavement I didn’t make an decision. So after the reply I liked to see if I could create a flagstone paving with granite kerbs.
As usually I started with a search for background information and textures. With this information I created some texture sheets for my pavement modelling.
To see if it could work out I decided to build the alley between Farnshawe Ltd. and the warehouse of Roope & Voss Wine and Spirit Merchants.
The kerbs I placed individually:
Then I glued the individual cut Yorkstone flags in place. Embossed the pavement to create some depth between the flags.
I made the underground for the alley. Glued the pavement and setts in place. Embossed the granite setts on the road and glued the small granite siding in place.
Then I did some additional weathering with pigments and ash.
The only thing left was to put the alley along the side wall of Farnshawe Ltd.
The final result.
Regards,
Job
