Thanks, Jerry!!
No, mortar yet, Carl. I said I was waiting on the morticians. Aren't they the guys that do that?

Fred,
Nice brickwork!
What is the actual size of your bricks?

Thanks, Ray and Bob.
Dave, they vary.... way more than they should. It's hard to cut them exact with a steel ruler and xacto knife. I try to keep them in the neighborhood of 2mmx 4.5mm.Comment

Fred,
Now that is small! Can't imagine how difficult it is to pick up the bricks then glue in place. Very impressive!!

Thanks, Dave. I just stab them with my exacto knife and place them. And that adds texture, too.
Ok, the walls are mortified. And I've started the base.
Finished (more or less) and weathered.
Also started the roof.

Nice work Fred, very "60's" looking.
What material are your sidewalks?
CarlComment
-
Thanks, Mike!!
Carl, the sidewalks are .040 styrene doubled up. Cut, scribed and painted. "60's"? Back to the drawing board, I was shooting for the 50's.

Fred,
Fine brick work as always! I think it's due to the bricks being hand cut and hand laid, that gives them that more realistic flavor.
The foundation and roof are looking good as well.

Thanks, Scott!!
My next move is planting it on the module next to the fire station.Comment

Fred, That's going to look right right next to the fire station, a non descript municipal building nevertheless with a lot of character.Comment

Nice work Fred. A lot of work doing those bricks, but they look very realistic. And suits very well for mid century type structure.
I like the little awning over the door. Nice touch
The concrete looks excellent too. What colour did you use ?
