Best road texture for North Gate

[greyfire]

Hi,

I've just completed the North Gate and mounted it to foam core.  That's to the size of the model I would like to extend the road that runs through the middle of the gate.  It's a grey rough-rock with tufts of grass.  I've looked through the Tile kits but couldn't find something with irregular borders like this. Most of them are tiles of some sort and not gravel.

Before I print six copied of Footprint B I thought I'd ask if there was one that matched.  The tile kites are reasonable priced and I'd like to avoid wasting ink.

Thanks in advance and thanks for a great bit of scenery!

Could you post some pictures or at least name the creator of the gate? It's hard to give advice, if it is cryptic what you are talking about...

I'm gonna guess we're talking about Dave Graffam Models' North Gate, and Footprint B looks like it's page 6 of the part-1.pdf file. The texture doesn't look like anything I've seen elsewhere, I'll be honest. I don't even recall other Graffam tilesets or battlemats with a texture like that. If you're good with a clone tool, you can roll your own, I suppose.

Hi.
That gravel texture is the one Dave used for the first models he made. They were distributed as free game accessories on his old gaming website.
As far as I know it isn't available in any set.
Maybe you can try to contact him and ask about availability, or try to use a software to "cut and assemble" the tile you need without wasting cardbord and ink.

You can find a gravel texture (which might be the original one) in the Medieval Ground Tiles Set:
www.wargamevault.com/product/81696/Medieval-Ground-Tiles?cPath=24998_25036
It's even cheaper because of the Winter Offensive Sale at Wargames Vaullt.

Look for the Rough-Ground.pdf.

Great find, Zephalo! That looks exactly right!
