Bricks! - Attempt One

A part of Sunday was spent cutting bricks from foam!  I decided to build from the base upwards, so that I could make sure the brickwork was seamless.  In my head, I saw one of two options: rough sewer crumbling into disrepair, or very-well constructed sewer (if not exactly tidy).  I decided to go with the latter, as in my head I’m imagining a goblin fleeing through the bowels of a dwarven city.

And, as we all know, dwarves are very good at stonecutting and construction.

Unfortunately, I used the wrong kind of foam!  My SO pointed out that the foam beads would only look more obvious once I’d painted and washed the brickwork.  If there was one good thing to take away though, it’s that the brick layout looks good.

So, off it comes, to make way for the new high-density foam even now winging it’s way toward me.

You can use it though, you can hide the texture by washing it over with thinned filler (thinned with water, also gives you a nice even white base).
You also don’t have to cut single bricks, you can push in the brick layer with a pen or a sculpting tool, saves a lot of time.
