My printer is an inkjet so that's the kind I get. It does need a clear coat to protect it. I spray the printed piece with several light coats of Krylon UV-resistant clear matte. I use this stuff for floors and wallpaper in my buildings, posters, portraits or other interior decorations, and exterior signs.

I typed in all the info in an answer to a PM from Dave and I guess this old brain forgot that that info does not appear on the forum. I see that now Ray has given the source and it was his idea to begin with. I log in to www.papilio.com but I think Ray and I end up at the same place. I order the Inkjet White Waterproof Vinyl. It comes in single sheets, packs of 10, and packs of 100 sheets. Not inexpensive but great stuff.

You answered a lot of my unasked questions. I might give it a try on my next brick structure, which has moved forward in the queue.

I'm curious as to how you get the window layout? I selected a brick pattern but when I was done it seemed like it was just going to print a page of bricks. Country: USA | Posts: 3825 Orionvp17 Fireman Premium Member Posted - 06/16/2016 :  10:24:27 AM     Gentlemen, Good info. Thanks to Bob and Ray! There used to be a "Bob and Ray" radio program around here-- I ought to sniff around and see if it's still up. Or not.... Pete in Michigan Country: USA | Posts: 5398 hon3_rr Fireman Premium Member Posted - 06/16/2016 :  10:40:33 AM     Interesting conversation on the medium. Has anyone tried to weather the vinyl with pastels, weathering powders, or dry paint pigments? -- KP -- Life is to short to build all of the models I want to. Country: USA | Posts: 7033 sgtbob Fireman Premium Member Posted - 06/16/2016 :  1:19:18 PM       Thanks for all the posts guys. Mike - Go for it !! Frank - Yes, a sheet of printed bricks is all you get. That is applied to the forms (I used Taskboard, see previous page). I wrap the brick sheet around the Taskboard then cut a slit down through the brick sheet that's over the window openings and cut it across top and bottom. Then fold those flaps around the Taskboard to cover the edges. I then covered the arched tops and sills as per previous page. Then, in this case, I had three Taskboard forms covered which were glued one atop the other to form the brick wall. Pete - I used to listen to Bob and Ray and you can still get them from old radio show dealers. KP - I plan to weather them a little but doing a lot is beyond my artistic talents. Troels Kirk has weathered buildings covered with brick paper and his builds are still on the web but I don't know exactly how to find the brick paper models.

This is a build of a weathered brick building. I don't know how to post a link but use the search tool to find.

Country: USA | Posts: 3825 quartergauger48 Fireman Premium Member Posted - 06/16/2016 :  10:44:40 PM     Thanks Bob, Ray for the info'..Bob your site has a little better pricing'..for the sheets'..I'll give it a try'... Ted Country: USA | Posts: 4628 sgtbob Fireman Premium Member Posted - 06/17/2016 :  08:09:55 AM       Again, here are the form pieces cut from 1/8 inch thick Taskboard to form a building end. Here are the same pieces covered with brick detail printed on self adhesive vinyl and glued one atop the other. This also includes a brick strip along the top of the wall below the peak.

Country: USA | Posts: 3825 Ensign Fireman Posted - 06/17/2016 :  10:43:58 AM     Bob, your a master vinyl mason! Greg Shinnie Country: Canada | Posts: 7036 hon3_rr Fireman Premium Member Posted - 06/17/2016 :  11:20:35 AM     Bob, My question is about how a powder will adhere to the vinyl sheet. I'm pretty sure that one is going to have to use a spray fixative of some sort due to the vinyl surface, but not sure if one needs to apply the powder heavier than normal due to the lack of adhesion on the surface. Is there a loss of powder when the fixative is applied? Is it advantageous to apply a light fixative coat prior to the powder application to provide some 'tooth' to the vinyl surface? -- KP -- Life is to short to build all of the models I want to.
