Your brick wall is excellent Tom. I must have missed it......Is the original carved plaster?

It's looking good, Tom. A very realistic brick color.

Tom,
I too, am late here, and so sorry for your loss.
I guess I don't look over the forums as much as I want and normally not the "O" scale projects.
I must admit though, you are one heck of a great modeler, and everything I see here, looks top notch to me.
I will be following along with your progress, and I see some great tips so far.

Thanks Carl, Mike, Rick, Jerry and Rich.
Carl yes I carved the original in plaster and then took a mold of it. I was going to use the same brick sheeting as your "North Pole" build (OUTSTANDING WORKMANSHIP )
but to $$$$$$ to buy & ship to Downunder.
Mike & Rick Yes happy with the colour, one of the projects at the daughters house was going to be an interior brick wall using "melbourne Reds " bricks
Jerry You've caught up now good to have you following along Thanks for the feedback.
Rich Thank you for your comments.
Ok front wall all glued together and 1 coat of paint thrown on ( wow photos do justice)
Planning on the front facade is coming along ... doesn't look right. !!
Started on roof trusses and the ceiling above front wall.
Birdseye view, I've trimmed the wall height down a bit just to make the proportions look right, sometimes you need to use a 2" x 6" scale board where in the real world you would use a 2" x 4" board just to make it "look" right. Progress is slow but any progress is progress. !!
Cheers Tom.

Tom,
It's looking better all the time. The new proportions improve it a lot.

I'm late to this thread... Looks terrific so far! Really like the bricks.
My method of doing worn/peeled paint is to paint the "wood" color first, using acrylic craft paints. Spray it with a matte clear coat. When that's dry I wet it with Tester's enamel thinner. Then I "dry brush" the top color while the enamel thinner his still damp.Comment
