the buildings you see are really quick/cheap to make, simply being 3mm ply then hot glue-gun to join them. on the prototype everything is made from bricks particularily bad workmanship and kaka quality of bricks too, i suppose they sold the good ones and used the pooh for their own stuff, makes sense i suppose.

Anyways the brickwork is all made in the same way..a bit time consuming but a cheap and effective method i think. I cover the ply in a thin layer of ready-mixed lightweight filler plaster, once set it is pretty easy to carve/impress, I use various scrapers/knives/bits of brass tube etc..with which to impress with brickwork. Some piccies to explain better than I can...

here the big chimney is complete, and the bricks have been picked out in various shades of red/browns...just needs the "mortar" applying to the joints........

also evident here is the growing rolling stock collection and thers grass beginning to grow also.!!!

as you can see i still have L-O-A-D-S of bricks to carve on the kiln building.....

Enjoy,
