Roger

I have just used plaster of paris and then scribed the brickwork with the back of a broken exacto No. 11 blade.

Try searching brickwalls or check out the features as there are a few different techniques discussed on this site.

Good luck.

Roger, the plaster method Brian uses is pretty straight forward and easy to do. Another, albeit more involved method uses plaster of paris, modeling clay, Lego's building blocks, and some non-stick vegetable spray. Let me know if you want more info on this method and I'll send it to you via PM. Brians way is probably easier and quicker for what you want to to do. There is also plastic sheets pre-printed with brick on them. Check Plastruct or Evergreen for them. "Q"
