Hey everyone!
Maybe you've read the link that Roman posted... i did some days ago and i was truly inspired.
I already ordered the so called "feather board" which is correctly called "foamboard" (the translation in the tutorial is wrong).
But until it arrives i already tried out the technique with some styrodur... it's a really fast and easy way to create brick walls. I documented my trial run so you can see my result and try it for yourself :)
Those are the tools i made for myself.
I used 3 brushes i don't need anymore and burned out the hairs with a lighter.... don't use this technique as it smells like SHIT!
Then i bent the metal with some pliers to the desired shape.
On a piece of styrodur i punched in some bricks.
I also put in some scratches, dents and broke out one brick with different tools.
I've cut out some one more styrodur piece at roughly the size of my socket.
Just turn around and cut the rough shape with a cutter.
I glued the parts together with superglue... it turned out that using superglue is not the best thing with styrodur... i should have used UHU....
You can see me punching in more bricks with the custom tool.
I've decided to add another cut to the floor. there will be some slimy canal....
Added more punches with my tools.... the floor doesn't look very pretty because it's not the perfect material for the technique... but it's ok.
Choose a Mini to fit the scene :)
I choose to add a pipe with some detailling....
To add some strength to the material i mixed some MagicSculpt with water and stirred it for 2 years.
Brush the mix on the styrodur to add some strength to the material.
Tadaaaaa. when it's dry it will be much harder... you can then sand over the bricks a little bit to make them a bit flatter and add some more details.
With this technique you can add quick and nice brick walls to any scene, let your imaginations free :)
Cheers,
Raffa

Great tutorial... the work on the website by Emmanuel Nouaillier is amazing. Best thing about this technique is that it doesn't look too complicated, yet it produces a great base for a display.
Also, is it meant to be two minutes of stirring? ;)

Hehe, yeah the technique is great and i bet it will be even better with the right materials...
No i meant 2 years, my hand was hurting when the magicsculpt was dissolved... ;)
great stuff, and very inspirational;]
as always.
cheers.
Raffa..I Bet is easier than glue all those bricks ,as you did for your "butter knife"....but nothing can't change real stuff!!
Thanks for the link...the turtorial and the ideas are great for modelling!!
We wrote a very similar tutorial several years back for our Mage Knight games, and the results were pretty good: http://bit.ly/b7POBV
Very nice tut - i have to try this man!

Hm, can't see the pictures. This is what it looks like for me (screen grab) http://screencast.com/t/UB8OzCis
For some reason I can see the pics now, sorry!
do U know the name for styrodur in spanish?
@other anonymous: All this is EPS (poliestireno expandido) in different styles. You can get thin boards from some food packaging for free, or from inside foamboard (cartón pluma) if you peel the card sides. The pink one above is normally sold for construction as insulation, in big and thick boards. You can also try the bubbly one (porexpan, corcho blanco).
programs, corrupt government contracts and haphazard enforcement of national laws. Why? Not only is it unethical, at the end of the day, one's name and legacy would be gone.
it is very interesting story
is a very good picture
ahoi.
..and stirred it for 2 years???
i think ..now your arm is very strong!! ;-)
thx for the great idea.
thanks heaps Raffa, your pictures and explanation cleared up a lot of confusion I had reading the other article on the 009.cd2.com link.
Thanks Anonymous, in my country we call it Unicel, is the name of the factory who makes it, like Porexpan in Spain or Telgopor in Argentina. Thx again cya around.
I've seen this technique before - but your tutorial makes it so much clearer.
Thanks.

Hmmm really marvelous post! I love such information which is also helpful for my education as well. brickwork company
Fantastico! But how does this work when you are trying to do a lot of brickwork on buildings and on floors for bolt action terrain . for the historical European World War 2 scenery and architecture .
Mmh ... with much more time and patience I would say.
Very cool, i especially like the idea of the magisculpt wash... where do you get your magisculpt? Ive been looking around but I cant find it in the EU... and what is the difference between magisculpt and miliput??
