7mm scale bricks

Recommended Posts

I was at the large scale show a couple of weeks ago and talking to the owner of an excellent model who had individualy scribed the bricks of his 16mm scale mill in its clay/plaster coating. I said to him it drives me mad doing the same in 7mm, and he said, no need to scrbe them in 7mm scale as you can get a stamp.

 

Well I can't find a stamp anyware.

 

Ideas anyone, I'm going blind?

Hi,

There is a firm that make a mould out of rubber for brick wall sections in both 4mm and 7mm (about 3" square) you just pour in plaster of paris wait till it dries then remove it. It comes in a box with moulds for the different types of brickwork in both scales, when I remember the name I wil let you know.

Hope this helps you

If you want to print / stamp bricks on clay it's really quite easy to make a stamp tool yourself.

 

I made a couple of tools to form stone walling and cobblestones in DAS modelling compound for 7mm - see this post on my old 2010 Challenge Thread for the stone walling and post #61 for the setts.

Hi IC126 I never thought of that, the moulds look good and easy enough to make, looks like I will be nicking some of my wifes femo she uses for her dolls house bits (when she is not looking) and suffer the beating after.

thanks for the tip

Alan
