Hi John
All looking very good. Brick colouring is spot on. What are the bricks made of? I seem to remember someone on the old forum used cork sheet cutup.

You can now buy a rubber mould to enable you to cast your own, also one for blocks.

Hello lovers of bricks and stone sets.Yes another update into the world of bricks and stone.

The loose bricks have had another coat of paint.

The wall has had the window fitted and been painted both sides.

And the base stone sets have had more paint on them.

Next is the mortar line in the bricks.
Thanks for looking in.

Hippity hop,
The blocks and bricks are great. That old window reminds me of the one in the house when I was just a youngster (yes, we had windows back then) all that is missing is the 1 inch gap under the sill.....

Hi and thanks Jim. The bricks are cut out from 5mm thick foam board, with both paper sides removed, so a little thinner than 5 . I've use cork before but it's harder to cut a clean line . I did a base once in cork and learnt the hard way when I covered most of it up with debris.:crying:

Nice work,very realistic,as Jim said the colouring is spot on.

Thanks Mark .

Hi mate, thanks for staying with it, bit long winded at the mo with waiting for things to dry before the next stage .


Hoping to get the brick work done in the morning, then can start on the ruins of the buildings internals. Collapsed roof and the remains of the steel work .

No, it was a fireplace in the bedroom, ex army blankets and in the winter a parrafin heater - how I never died amazes me now I know the hazzards....:tongue-out3:

Wanted to get more done today but with the weather being fine and quite warm I set too and worked on some real masonry. Spent several hrs removing a concrete spur post I had put in ( rather too well ) Now only the remains of the rose frame to do , just 10 wooden posts with post fix ,so shouldn't be as hard . Going to try one a day !

Maybe tomorrow I can do an up date as there is a lot done .

We shall see what tomorrow brings............

Not much Rick :crying::nerd::smiling2:
After getting up and wandering around I sat down and looked at U tube . Did some more in the garden then made some cakes and short bread biscuits. However I did paint some grey mortar on to a line of damaged brick work and take another section and do a break, This will need painting where the gaps are , so after my trip to the recycling centre with real building debris in the morning I should be able to show you .:smiling3:

Heya John, yeah sounds like an interesting day. Can you go into more detail about the delicious cakes? Did donuts come into play by any chance ?
