Hi. I am from Peru and I just started modelling dioramas 5 months ago. Does anybody know a technique for painting bricks and ruins?

Hi Antroig
Not sure if this will help but it might be better to make your own bricks/rubble. Check out the digital diamonds in the features and it has a neat way to make alot of bricks very cheap. I do it slightly different, but just mixing acrylic paint (i use brown and orange cheap art supply stuff) into drywall compound/wallboard plaster etc, will give you a nice material you can seperate/cut into bricks or smash up into rubble. That way you don't have to worry about painting them or breaking them afterwards, the color is right through the whole thing.

A really good "how to" article by Keith Forsythe on Docīs Dios was a great help for me. Check out this link where keith takes you through each step clearly and with good pictures.
