Masochistic

[shamus]

Sure mus be a masochist when it comes to making certain structures, here I am putting individual bricks to the bottom of my latest building which will turn into a small station building some time in the next two weeks.

Shamus,
What exactly are those "bricks" made from?

When I saw the title of this thread I thought my browser was messed up and had taken me to Yahoo Chat!!!

But....what a great way to get a 3-D effect of the bricks on the building

Shamus will need glasses when he's done! I'll handle the collection on this side of the Atlantic. Hopefully Errol will handle it for the UK and Woodie can take care of AUS and NZ!

" All in all it's just another brick in the wall".- Pink Floyd.

Not only the 3D effect, but just about the only way to get a truly random color pattern in the brick. I've done the same thing with shingles, and if you think that's nuts,,,, try painting that random pattern of color on commercial brick material!

That !, is some really beautiful masonry, I have got to try that!
Thanks Shamus,
Pete

P.S. Those wouldn't be chads from a card punch would they???

I remember doing a doll house this way but much larger scale and it was a chore to do but looked great finished.
Shamus, now you are making me think we could even do this in N gauge but then I have to ask myself WHY!
