Bricking it. Update 21st July

[DELTADOG]

hmm Phil you bring me in the mood of trying those Brickwork for myself (Fallout Boston has tons of those Brickwork Buildings). It looks fantastic so far, The Door on the Last picture looks a bit to thin imo but the overall look is great.

What general Measurements you are using for that Wallsegments?

Thanks fellas.

I really like the look of the liquid greenstuff on the casting as plastered brick. It's true that it might look a little more like whitewashed brick, but it's a wonderful effect. I'll be borrowing the liquid greenstuff idea - plus, on the sticking-the-tongue-out index I'd say it's probably only a 1 or a 2, which works for me.

It is a technique which has grown on me the more I've played with it. Like this it reminds me more of layers and layers of paint over decades.


It also works well for a rough bit of concrete where additions have been made, like this vent.

See here, pages 42-53: http://www.noch.com/de/katalog/2015/hauptkatalog/index.html

Thanks, those are nice. Not sure how happy they might be to have folk cast off of them though.

It's more a shutter door than a front door, there'll be four of these in a row and a door proper as well. Apols for not being clear enough. They're 100mm wide and 110mm high for two floors, can't recall the exact height of the three floored one. They all approximately 5mm thick, makes casting a little easier.


A little bit of brickwork laid the right way on an otherwise rendered building.

Lovely - the "layers of paint" effect with the liquid green stuff is excellent. Really enjoying this thread!

[Mason]

Thought I had better pop back over for a catch and....BLOODY HELL!
 


It all looks great, Phil.
 



I love the GS 'paint' idea, that really works, but this frontage is simply amazing...

This is an effort for neater, newer brickwork. I've cut it out of foamex using a scalpel and iron rule. Cast windows whalloped in, sills and lintels, and a door.

Thanks guys.

I've finished this one... off to the rubber with it.

I'm liking these

Fantastic work! Can I ask who manufactures the windows and doors? Casting these sections may make producing scenery for IHMN bearable!

[carlos marighela]

Very impressive work. The gungy brickwork is particularly good.

[Harry]

Great stuff.

[Captain Blood]

Very nice modelling Phil

Looking fab Phil! Are you using this method for the front elevations only?

Thanks guys.

I cast my own. You having problems casting yours? What's the problem? I might be able to help.

Well I'm starting with these, some of which can also be rears of course, and looking to making some whole buildings but without having massive moulds which are troublesome to cast and pricey to make. So still thinking about it all really.


First casts of the latest ones, photos a bit washed out for this one -apols.


And this one, with the glassed shutters and windows roughly in place, which is why they look crooked. The mortaring seems to have worked fine, however because of all the thin and quite deep detail on the mortar line I'm not sure how the mould will hold up. I'm now thinking it might be best to just lay the bricks, grout them and then tickle out the mortar lines a bit.

[DELTADOG]

Now Its visible what you meant with the shutters as i found the door to thin^^ It looks really great! Are you planning to sell some casts?

[6milPhil]

Sorry for the slow reply. Yes indeed, I've done a bit more. The furthest I've got is with this kind of thing, held together with blu-tac at the moment.
