Embankment stone walling

[sandy]

Can you buy stone wall paper which is embossed instead of just flat paper. I have quite a lot to do and plastic sheets seem very expencive so hoping to find a paper product with a bit of depth. Any advice welcome.

Sandy, the only embossed papers I know of are made by Redutex - fantastic product, but ferociously expensive.
You might try Squires Models who sell 14”x9” builder sheets - much larger than the Peco/Ratio items. Their website is clunky and far from user friendly and although I found the sheets, I couldn’t find a price!
May be worth a look though.

Hi Sandy,

There is a guy on eBay ( from Greece actually) who sells stone effect sheets of what is effectively wallpaper…… very cost effective and easy to use.

I have used these to reasonable effect on my Montgreenan / Portencross layout for retaining walls etc……. The last time it was a curved wall, so I glued together foam underlay used for laminate floors and then covered this will stone effect wallpaper - see image below.

Hope this helps.

That looks pretty decent HD. Slightly 3D would you say? R-

Hi Sandy,

Further to my earlier post, I managed to find the guy in my saved eBay sellers………. search for a seller called “Starboc1”

It is marketed as “Embossed paper”, which I think is a pretty accurate description…….. perfectly acceptable from a distance.

I just found the same guy by searching for embossed stone paper. Looks interesting.

Thank you everybody for your help. Have found the laddie on ebay and it looks good also nice large sheets. Can do a lot of walling with £25. Lot better than Ratio prices.

Very effective stone wall HD.

Rather nice embankment, and superlative photography. Adds a sense of drama and history. The age old conundrum of a railway overcoming topography. Reverend Farnsworth's excellent histories come to mind, immediately.
