Speaking of plaster, I've found some old photos of a project I did (And I didn't finish) around 3 years ago (I was 16 so please don't be cruel on judgement! :))
it's a 20mm house, made ONLY in plaster and a small piece of balsa wood, as you can see in the WIP photos...
for the bricks, I just scratched out a part of the plaster to reveal another part, and I sculpted the bricks... :P
this is the first floor... I starded making photos since here...

And there I did the second, completing the first (filling some holes from the parts...)

and then I primered it... as you can see, I forget to put the windows, cause I was young and impatient (now I'm only impatient.. lol lol lol)
