roverdriver Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Some months ago I found this site- http://paperbrick.co.uk/ The site owner set it up so that enthusiasts could create and download brick paper to their requirements. At the time, I downloaded and printed a couple of sheets just as a test and found them to be ideal for what I perceived would be my needs. I did not keep the PDF files that were created. Yesterday I went to the site with the intent to make a donation and download some papers, but although after selecting ones parameters, the site says that a PDF file was generated, it cannot be viewed or downloaded. I sent an e-mail to the site owner, but it bounced back. Does anyone know what has happened? It would be a pity to lose such a clever and useful site. Dane.

soony Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) Isn't this the one where the propieter passed away suddenly , shortly after creating the 'app',. His Son, I think took it over using a donation system to keep the bills paid and the app online. Presumably its interest has now lapsed. https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/103044-paperbrickcouk/ Edited July 10, 2019 by soony additional info 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithMacdonald Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Would the paper brick sheets from Scale Scenes be a suitable replacement? https://scalescenes.com/scratchbuilders-yard/ They also have sheets for slate tiles, concrete, pavement, corregated iron, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is available here http://www.bwwmrc.co.uk/bricks/ . This may be of use. This is very much of use . Thankyou for sharing it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinRS Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Good news. It looks like http://paperbrick.co.uk/ will be back. A note at the site reads "PaperBrick is coming back! Your favourite free brick paper generator will be back in action in the not too distant future!" 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Norski Posted December 12, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 12, 2020 The logo in the link looks like the scale model scenery logo. Interesting. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinRS Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 The logo looks identical, now I have seen it. I thought it was familiar. Well spotted Norski! I guess they could link or redirect from the PaperBrick site to their main site as a way to attract potential customers, or just advertise their range on the PaperBrick web page. The concept of free brick paper would fit well with Scale Model Scenery's products such as LX308-OO Ultra Low Relief Industrial Unit / Warehouse End Wall Blanks, their LX315-OO Ultra- Low Relief North Light Engine Shed / Wagon Works Side Wall and their LX291-OO Harbour. Some of the above products are new and would benefit from free brick paper. Perhaps they have in mind a series of more blank laser cut templates in future. If they use their imagination they could even come up with a mix and match modular system. Imagine the shell of a house, just the walls. It could be sold separately from the roof, with hipped, gable (and top of the end walls), Mansard (for larger buildings), flat roofs and other variations available separately, all with the same 'footprint' as the shell of the walls. Just an idea if you guys at Scale Model Scenery ever get to read this. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
