Great tutorial, very helpful, they look very realistic! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and time!
Excellent detail. I love the realism. Don't worry about CZcams's algorithm, you've got a winner.
Your method is amazing and looks more realistic than any other method I've seen! Just beautiful...😊🌹
Really enjoyed the video. It's nice to see someone that actually goes to the effort to make their own instead of buying products to do the job.
I really enjoy your technique. As well as your commentary. Thank you.
Hello Don. I’m so glad to have come across your channel - creative & honest solutions, clearly expressed. A designer’s approach. I too live in Thailand.
Hi Don I love you channel old school modeling and I think you do a better job keep it up buddy 👍👍👍👍👍
Great instructional tutorial. I learnt a lot.
What you have done here sir is nothing short of a work of art!! I hope your proud of your work, as you deserve to be, very well done,, 👍 I was thinking of doing something like this but in 1/12th scale for a nativity scene I'm doing, but with stone. I'm going to attempt marking and cutting a suitable flag stone leaving the natural grain facing out, and cut different size strips off it and break them in to smaller pieces, or stones!! And then build my wall with grout for mortar like you did. It's a tedious way of doing things but worth it!! I've already made 1000 Roman roof tiles from cornflakes box cardboard cut in to squares of inch and a half x inch, then soaked in water and each one lightly taped over some lengths of half inch wooden dowel before being left to dry and take the shape, followed by hand painting. The effort shows though.
Going to give this a go my friend! It might have take a year but I just found this and subscribed. Thanks for sharing!
wow that looks so real
Wife an i are doing this. Just to scrape them off is so satisfyingly Fun. First ones we scrapped. But we'll get it. THANK YOU for making this video
Wow 🤩 this is amazing, thank you sir for the great video . Great information ❤
Best technique I’ve seen. I appreciate you thank you. 🙏 Miami 🇺🇸
Oh my God! I figured out how to make small bricks, to make a small decorative house, thank you very much.
I just found your channel this evening. These bricks are so realistic, the best I’ve ever seen in such a tiny scale. You’ve mastered your technique perfectly. A joy to watch.
wow! Best brick tutorial I've seen.
I am creating a German fachwerk barn and have been looking for a method for brick making. Your method is BY FAR the best that I have found for my particular application as realism is off the charts! Thank you for bringing your creativity to the world of modeling.
Dont be bitter Don it is a good technique. AND THE RESULTS ARE EXCELLENT. Have a cuppa and forget for now. I LIKE YOUR LOW COST PRACTICAL approach to making dioramas. MINIART is fab and not too expensive but your methods are a lot easier and besides Miniart make great accessory kits which can be incorporated into one's designs. Always a pleasure to watch you making magic from old cardboard boxes and bits n bobs. Reminds me of Tony Hart and morph. LOVE THE CHANNEL. 😊.
Excellent work.
I love these!
excellent work!
Thank you for this sir! Happy New Year.
I realy like your methode go to try it !!!!!!
That was a brilliant video. Like you say, if you choose modelling as a hobby then things like this that take a lot of time are satisfying in their own way. We all want to see the fruits of our labours, but - well I think - there's no great rush.
That's the mindset I have when I'm riding my Royal Enfield the 200 miles up to the isle of Skye. The journey is just as important as the destination.
Hopefully my my like, comment and subscription helps with your algorithm.
Brilliant !! Your talent at this art form is awesome. Itching to try this myself now.
Hands down the best way to make bricks 👍 I bloody hate making them from foam boards. I shall go and practice this, cheers.
I’ve watched several of your vids. You are quite amazing. I don’t make models, but absolutely appreciate what you do.
I'm so glad I found this. I'm in the process of planning a factory/repair depot and this method is the most realistic I've seen......brilliant!
Thank you for the fantastic video. I enjoyed it a great deal . Another tool in the tool box .
Awesome work. I plan on learning more from you. Thank you for sharing your skills.
Thanks for the Video Don.Fasinating.
That looks great. I have to try your method.
Looks fantastic
Professional work.... Long live you
That's extremely realistic looking, Don! All the more so considering you made it with inexpensive materials and plenty of patience, but still made it look as good - if not better than - any aftermarket accessory.
Please consider my full shelf-length street base with building front backdrop suggestion as a future video and project.
Great video. Just getting back into modelling. Will try both methods to make a brick building. But do think your bricks look better. Thank you 👍
Great video thank you for doing it again
I Don't normally subscribe on a whim but you sir are an inspiration. Never give up.. I will be a regular viewer from now on... Brilliant 👏
Brilliant!
Nice job! Going to give it a try. Hang in there, you popped up on my home page. I love techniques, so subscribed.
Love this method thank you
Nice bricks, useful tips, subscribed.
Enjoyed this very much and keen to try this method myself, have also subscribed. 😊
Hi Don! Another awesome tutorial. How about you post a video with a model assembly or figure painting? That would be cool.
Look real 👍👍👍
CZcams doesn't like you but I definitely do!! One more subscriber Don
Thanks, l need all l can get.
I am new to modeling/creating scene, 1:35 is the scale I am wanting to use, so this is a great find for me, thank you for showing us how to make these bricks, they look amazing! Is it possible to make several sections glue them together to create a brick wall or pillar?
Anything is possible.
Hi Don,
love your build tutorials and have used the barbed wire a lot - thanks. However, I'm struggling to join sheets of the homemade bricks together to make proper corners. I know it's me but they look awful.
I just can't get them to look real.
How do you do it bud???
Yes, corners are a problem. I stick the bricks beyond the corner every other row. It's not easy to explain here so I will make a video next week showing how.
How you do. A couple of questions. Are you doing anything else to your card other than coating it in wall filler? As my card warped as the filler dried, I put a heavy weight on it to flatten it a bit. It also warped once I glued the bricks down. Also, I found out I'm rubbish at eye balling measurments 😂 Any advice on how to measure them once the wet grout is on?
I use 2mm thick card, I seal it with slightly watered down wall filler then add the tile grout mixed with PVA glue. The grout should be the consistency of margarine, not too wet but spreadable. Hope this helps.
As regards measurement you will have to use a ruler to get the 3mm x 7mm size for 1/35 scale bricks.
Good video. Question though, your building of brick wall has 4mm dimension facing. Should this not be the 2mm dimension facing. Unless you are putting a brick facia on a wall and not actually building a brick wall
Yes, you're quite right, it's just easier to lay the bricks flat down as it were.
@@nanplabwernstill looks awesome
Hi Don, why do a video where you use styrofoam for making brick walls, just for comparative purposes.
Fantastic method, would love to try it, however as mentioned in another comment I would like to see a styrofoam comparison in the same video. Also, you don’t need any background music (it is a bit irritating with the plinky plonk piano). I would much prefer just to hear commentary and the actual making of the wall.
You're in luck, l don't use background music anymore but l can't get on with styrofoam so rarely use it.
A lot of work, but we’ll worth it for the realistic look. Others may go for the shortcut method, but it will not look as good as what you have produced.
Do you need me to send you some new background music?
I chose the music from a library of tens of thousands of clips although l must confess l chose the first one.
Love the result it's awesome.
Just a bit of constructive feedback: your view stats are probably so low because you go through every step in far too much detail. This vid could have been 6 minutes long. Not trying to be negative but people these days won't watch a 23min video.
Point taken.
