in 1/24 or 1/25.

Anyone got any ideas how to do the bricks?

I know Plastruct has a "brick" sheet and while I've never seen one in person, I have been told it's ain't so great.

John there was an article in one of the model mags how to do it with "plaster of paris" looked easy on paper .

Hobby Lobby has sheets of scale bricks in the dollhouse section, I believe they also sell bags of individual bricks. The picture below shows a sheet I used for my photo diorama. Once I had them glued in place I used non sanded tile grout for the mortar.

That looks exactly what that "someone" is looking for.

Alas, no Hobby Lobby around here.

I know I have a few left over that I can part with, maybe you could make a mold and cast your own?
Let me know and they are yours.

I'm not setup for casting at this time but I wouldn't mind seeing them in person before committing.

PM coming your way and Thanks!

Model Builders Suppy has sheets of architectural coverings in 1-24th scale. Here is a link to their home page. They are a decent source of diorama material

I did a bit of digging last night but had no luck. I will keep looking, frustrating as I can even picture the bag they are in.

They are in the mail buddy

Thanks Darrin.

Hopefully, they'll work for that "someone".

Dave Pye of MCM dio column did an article on my drywall method about 2 years ago. Very easy and good results. Just a dental pick, or other scribe and a piece of drywall and you can have great looking brick walls.

Darrin,

Bricks received.

Thank you kindly!
