REVIEW: Textured roller „Small Cobblestone“ 1223 / Texturrolle „Kleine Kopf-Stein-Pflastersteine“



REVIEW: Textured roller „Small Cobblestone“ 1223 / Texturrolle „Kleine Kopf-Stein-Pflastersteine

Manufacturer: Green Stuff World International, SPAIN
Article no.: 8436554363742ES
RRP = EUR 15,00, reduced price = EUR 12,00

GSW Article no.: 8436554363742ES

One single textured roller. Theme „Small Cobblestones“.




The product includes a single roller, protected by a plastic tube plus sealing cap. A product information sheet shows the customer the single Green Stuff World article no., product name and a quick step product instructions on the front side, and the same multilingual information in English / German / Spanish and French language on the reverse side.




Dimensions of the textured roller:

Length: 14,5 cm (5’5 inches)
Diameter: 2,5 cm (1“ inch)
Brick pattern size: approx. 2x5 mm up to 2x5 mm

The rounded bricks are all individual and combined with multiple stone types.
This textured roller and moulded results are recommended for your bases and miniatures in the scale of 1/35, 1/43, 1/48 or 1/76.



The textured roller is produced very well, without any sharp sections.
So, no injuries should be expected. Safty first, work safe, go home safe! 😉



Hobby Bunker Schriesheim has used the textured rollers during our terrain modelling workshops and especially in cases of modelling individual bases for single miniatures and/or complete TableTop armies.

One of the helpful materials to mould streets, pavements, smaller or larger cobble stones can be the epoxy putty „Blue/Yellow Green Stuff“ distributed by Green Stuff World International.

The textured rollers can be used very easy. Mix your green stuff modelling clay in the indivual size and stretch out the green stuff on your clean cutting mat, HDF or foam plate.


The modelling clay should have a smooth consistence. Now, You can start with the moulding steps.

Hold the textured roller in both hands, push down the roller and roll over the modelling clay over the whole area. It is very important to carry out the same pressure. If you push to hard on one of the textured areas in the modelling clay, the texture can be interrupted compared to the whole moulded clay. Hobby Bunker Schriesheim recommends to use petroleum jelly or enough water to prevent sticking greent stuff at the textured roller after releasing the two parts at the end.





One single point of criticism*: the deepest areas of each textured roller has a raw surface with small grooves. These structure will be reflected on the modelling clay after rolling over it. One will love this structure effects, another would like to have a very perfect clean surface in this case.
raw surface / raue Oberfläche
raw surface 
This part of structure is okay from our point of view, because some club members would like to have especially these raw surface on their Cobblestone and prevent bases… and the other club members polished the highest parts of the stones with water and a sculpting tool. So, It is up to you to try out these textured rollers with different themes.

It is also very important to clean up the textured roller to prevent closing fine details and small scaled lines on the textured rollers after you have finished your moulds at the end.

We have tested the textured rollers, Pavement (1301), Small Cobblestones (1374) and Celtic (1223). We are impressed by the small details, easy handling and last but not least the final moulded results.



Highly recommended for all beginners and advanced painters, model builders and TableTop artists.

*Perhaps Green Stuff World International can improve this raw surfaces a little bit in future.

BTW: Green Stuff World offers different sizes related to different scales: (XL, 12-15-20 mm, 25-28 mm, 32-35-45 mm scale).


Green Stuff World provides rebates between 20,00% up to 28,00% as a product discount at the moment these textured rollers.
