I've seen all kinds of brick lunacy on here, scribing, laying each brick, etc. so I thought it was time have have a go.

I'm using fomex with a tungsten-tip scriber, and various other tools for detailing and some plastic for additional details.

It's time consuming, a little tricky but I'm happy with the result so far.

So far around 10-12 hours. I'll cast from this and carry on with the master, plus make some variants.

Scribing definitely takes patience and that looks good.

That looks awesome wish I had the skill and patience

I do like the look of this. You definitely have a eye for the small details. Where did you pick up the fomex? I have been looking around for some since I read about it on someones blog.
Snitchy sends.

That looks brilliant Phil.

Overlord is the master of the inscribed brick. His Geezers thread is worth tracking down - but you've probably seen it already. A whole town of inscribed brick!

But yours looks the biz. Well done sir.

Really nice work

That kind of close work must be quite hard on the eyes.

Where did you pick up the foamex? I have been looking around for some since I read about it on someones blog.

I got it from: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Craft-Board-Rigid-3mm-Foamex-PVC-10-sheets-A4-297x210mm-Matt-White-/161948338675?

Good price and handy size.

Usually I scrounge up scraps from a local signmakers. They tend to use five mil which is difficult to cut accurate square windiwons in, This is 3mm, which is three fifths (or is it two?) easier to cut.

I'm on the lookout for 1 and 2 mil, but they usually massive sheets.

Yes he's one of the brick loons.

Lovely work....did you peel one side of the foamex to be able to scribe it ?

Silent Invader · « **Reply #13 on:** January 23, 2016, 08:51:29 AM »

Excellent Phil. Are you planning to cast a whole town's worth?

Oooh yes, that really works well Phil. The small details give it that perfect character.
