  • Publication number: 20050046076
    Abstract: A method of fabricating model cobblestone streets for decorating a diorama. The model is made from liquid latex and gauze. Using a female mold of a cobblestone street, liquid latex is applied to cover the female mold. A layer of gauze is applied on top of the wet latex. Next, a second layer of liquid latex is applied on top of the gauze ensuring saturation of the gauze and the first layer of latex. The wet latex dries to form a single layer of latex with the gauze embedded in it. The dried single layer is peeled from the female mold. The resulting male mold when laid flat on a surface will represent a cobblestone street: the individual stones within the street having height, width and depth. The male mold may be cut to desired size, and painted. In an alternate use, the finished male mold may be used to represent flooring, or may be used to represent stonewalls if attached to a vertical freestanding piece of material.
