Bricks & walls

[aleopardstail]

Not how sure 3d printing counts as scratch building, and its not a kit but to coin a modern teenager "yeah like whatever"

experiment to see how well my Mars 3 4k printer can handle OO scale bricks

this is just with a quick layer of Vallejo model colour "Cavalry Brown" which is the nearest to a brick colour I have over it, wants another coat, gloss varnish and a light oil wash for mortar doing.

this is literally a test bit, doesn't even have a door and only has the window as I was curious to see how the lintel printed.

will update further when its got a bit more paint

Looking good so far.

first run, gloss varnish then an acrylic wash, result is "so-so" but it works, oil will be better but for a test this will do. shows there is enough depth to get the effect to work at least, just need to work more on the actual colours

needs a more terracotta look to the base, and also some variations with hints of a more orange as well as darker etc

I'm pleased with it, next step is probably a small brick hut or something, size limited to what can be done in one part, need to work out a practical way to do window frames, thinking print as separate parts, ditto doors, to paint and fit later to make painting the bricks easier

Did you get any further with this?

not yet, did the first part of a retaining wall that came out out, temperature in the cellar is a bit too low to run the resin printer currently though. wall came out good, the paving slabs need recutting

put up a video on the process
