Hi,
What do you use for bricks in N-scale? At first, I tried to make a master pattern by scribing bricks in Hydrocal and making a mould - it worked, sort of, but it was a nightmare to get the bricks reasonably to scale and regular. Then I tried to print brick patterns on a colour laser, with good results, but of course the texture has no depth. I've only looked at one kind of brick patterned plastic sheet (not sure what the manufacturer was unfortunately) but it looked terrible, nothing at all like bricks.
So what do you guys recommend? I'm into scratchbuilding and kitbashing but would prefer to not be dependent on prefab kits if I can avoid it.
thanks!
