thanks all, here is a tip to do the brick job

ok guy, here is the pics for an illustrated how to !

If some point are not clear enough ask me, i'll try to give you an answers

So first you have to engrave your wall in polystyrene foam (you can use blue insulating foam at Home Depot in US for example). Here i use some Depron (that's use to made light RC plane)

To engrave the material, let's have a look to this photos wich show you how to do the better job for that :

I haven't got pics for the primer of my work with the Gesso, but you just have to paint the wall with it,

and when it's dry, you paint with the first color !

and you have this when the paint is dry

Then you take the 3 other color

And paint randomly some brick

After, you have to take your dry pigment

Then make a wash with black paint and alcohol

After, an other wash with the first color

And you'll have this

Then you have to let dry the wall over a night

I hope that it's clear for all like this !

Simply amazing brickwork! I like the idea of the foam panels for doing that. I've toyed with doing something similar but I could never figure out how to paint it without melting the foam or causing some other problem.

Great job.

That's coming along really nice. There's never too much brick and what you have is done VERY well!

Beautiful work! There is so much detail, and I like the brick. It looks like an old time carriage house, before there were automobiles. Great job!

Sam

I agree with these guys!! There is no such thing as too much brick!!

I've built several dioramas over the years, but they were always intended to be sold, so I never put that much work into them. If I ever build one that I plan to keep, I would want to make it as nice as this one is being built.

Thanks for sharing,
