As I expect to use cobblestone sections a lot in the future I decided to make a silicon mold. Never done before but it was in fact very simple.
Placed the section on an MDF panel and made a box from wood leftovers, cobblestone section in the middle and then filled it with silicone. Result is very good and now I can make as much sections as `i like with plaster.

im just getting into mold making myself, it's a very useful tool to have in the tool belt and pays off in time saved. Your mold look super professional!

Hi Zach, in fact it was not too difficult. I made a bold from mdf and plywood glued the original on the bottom and filled it with silicone I ordered on the web. I was just a matter of pouring and waiting (and about 10 minutes mixing the silicone components.
In fact it was fun and I'm going to make for the man hole covers as well. Even thinking of making more moulds to create rocks and maybe walls and arches.
