What scale are the bricks you are using 1/35?
I have two old boxes of Linka stuff but the bricks are too small for 28 mm more for 20 mm.
What are you going to do for windows?

Yup, those are 1/35 scale bricks. I'm willing to drift a wee bit out of scale to save a few of my SAN points.

I'll use some bass/balsa to put a simple window frame in and use some stiff plastic for the window glass. I'll glaze/smoke the plastic just enough so you won't be able to see through too much.


HAVE FUN

After a brief hiatus and getting fitted for a new defibrillator vest, I'm back to work writing and playtesting new material for our next Pulp Alley book (Vice Alley) and working on our new city terrain.

Here are a couple WIP pics of a piece I'm currently working on. I'm thinking this could pass for something like a factory, workshop, warehouse, distillery, and so on...

Nice to see you back.  :) The building's shaping up well.

Looks great, very believable.

That's really coming together well.

Don't work too hard! I'm glad you're back in the saddle and producing some more of your great works.

Looking forward to Vice Alley.  ;D

Yup, we're using molds by Diorama Debris --- http://www.dioramadebris.co.uk/

They are much smaller than the Hirst Molds we've used in the past, but also much less expensive.



What mold sets are you using? Are you casting individual bricks and building up from there?

This thread is always a joy to dig through!

After a brief hiatus and getting fitted for a new defibrillator vest, I'm back to work writing and playtesting new material for our next Pulp Alley book (Vice Alley) and working on our new city terrain.


Holy crap, I missed this part. I hope things are going smoothly with the hardware!

We're using these two molds --

Large Wall -- http://www.dioramadebris.co.uk/135-scale-brick-wall-section-stretcher-bond-mould-1350067-64-p.asp

Small Sections -- http://www.dioramadebris.co.uk/135-scale-brick-pier-sections-stretcher-bond-mould-1350068-65-p.asp


I can't imagine dealing with individual bricks with these clumsy fingers of mine.  lol lol lol

I might get some of these. I will need a Speakeasy and other buildings when Vice Alley comes out!

We debated using paper buildings or that MDF stuff. There are some nice products out there, but I decided to try these molds and see what we can come up with.  ;D ;D
