silverlink Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I understand there is a trader out there who has produced finished Pre Coloured brickwork sheets, he was one of the traders at the recent Thirsk model show. Does anyone know of this person and how to contact him. Thanks Ian H Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
allan downes Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I believe you're talking about these people. If so, their pre coloured brick sheets are the best there is and are in fact photographs of real brickwork. I use it all the time. http://www.modelrailwayscenery.com/ Cheers.

silverlink Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 Thanks for the info Allan, I've had a look at what they do which is similar to Scalescenes which you download and print off. The brickwork I'm talking about isn't downloadable but is available in sheets, the big thing with this range is its like Slater's brick plasticard but is completely finished with no painting required, its fully textured I haven't seen it but a friend who was at the Thirsk show in early August met the guy who does it and was most impressed with the finished product, unfortunately he forgot to get the guys details.

allan downes Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 In that case Ian I can't be of help but what you describe certainly sounds very interesting. Cheers. Allan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverlink Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 Have now found out the company that does this brickwork is; Country Scenes Model Railways who I understand are in Huddersfield, the guy who runs it is called Martin Wood. I've emailed him in the hope he will be able to supply me. Ian 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Daddyman Posted August 17, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 17, 2016 This looks much better - thanks for posting. As noted, the paper by Model Railway Scenery is print-at-home, so I can't see how it would be textured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverlink Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 Have made contact with Martin who is going to send me some '0' gauge samples of what he does. I will report the outcome once they arrive, perhaps one or two photos Cheers Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglian Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 You might be thinking of Redutex. I have a sample sheet and the product is fabulous. http://co.uk.redutex.com Some, but not all sheets are available from Gaugemaster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theakerr Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Ditto on redutex, but I get mine direct from the parent company in Spain. I don't know about Guagemaster but lets just say that the other nominal suppliers did not make life easy because I live in Canada. One point i will mention is weathering. The material is very absorbent and I had to develop an entirely new way of weathering. FYI, mainly airbrushing and then wiping down with a cotton bud smoked in thinner. Powders were a disaster and dry brushing very difficult. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray M Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I would take a look at Smart models. I`ve got a few of there CD`s , lots of brick papers/textures/wood FX. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) .......so I can't see how it would be textured.Actually not so hard. I print mine on textured art paper. Edited August 18, 2016 by Kiwi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverlink Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 Just received some textured brick from Martin, great service from him and very quick delivery. I will get some put on the building I'm making and put some photos up for you all to see. Cheers Ian 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
14Steve14 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I have been experimenting with the range of Railwayscenics brick papers and printing on textured paper. The results are different if using a laser printer, but I would imagine that most home printers are of the inkjet variety, which I think gives the better results. I have tried on hammered and linen papers so far and have a felt type paper to try also. The different weights of paper seems to make no real difference to the results. I will post some photos later if i get time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverlink Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 As promised I attach some photos of my scratch built '0' Gauge North Eastern style works building, I have modelled it on one I took a photo of at Malton some years ago which unfortunately is now long gone. I still have work to do on it, I'm waiting for some chimneys arriving and I need to paint it and weather it all of which is new to me! I'm most impressed with the textured and coloured brick which cost me £1-50 per A4 sheet, in my opinion great value. I will post some more photos once I've got the chimneys fitted and painted.

silverlink Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 Hi all, Attached are a couple of photos of the start of my new '0' gauge layout 'Falcon Road' where, like the earlier North Eastern building I made I have used the excellent Textured Brick from Martin Wood. I expect the project to take around eighteen months to complete. Cheers Ian 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
