Brick inspiration

I thought I would try a similar thing using polystyrene disposable plates. I got a pack of 12 for £1.29 and by cutting out the flat middles managed to get a square sheet about 105x105mm. For my test this ended up getting smaller but I think seemed to work. It is stuck on to foam board for the full wall, and the paint job is just about adequate.

I scored the brick pattern in to it. My bricks are a little large working out in a 28mm scale to be about 2ft by 1ft by 1ft! but the principle seems sound and in theory can be bent gently to fit around round objects like chimneys etc.

What do you think?



Just need to work out what to do with the off cuts, any ideas?

Bunkers?  Cool idea using foam plates. Never would have thunk it.

Very ingenious. Nice work.
