Fantastic bit of work. That is SO atmospheric!
Measure with a micrometer, mark with chalk, cut with an axe, hammer to fit, paint to match!

My Gosh, I thought that the first few photos were pictures of what you were going to try to duplicate.  When I realized that they were the actual buildings.....stunning.  That is the best diorama work that I think that I have ever seen (and I am not trying to be over dramatic).

Thanks Capt! I had a wee look, what are you using to achieve that great texture? I can't tell, is it printed card or embossed plastic card covered in plaster?

Andy, first thing I lay down is a single sheet of whatever brick your using, then I cut out pieces of the next sheet and glue them in different spots on the first sheet, then I use spackling compound and feather in the edges of the top layer
and wipe off the excess compound. one other thing I forgot to mention...the top layer of brick has to be glue on a piece of cardboard then glue to the first layer.

The close up image of the rotting door just kills me. There's so much in that - colour, texture, layering, lighting...
