Very interesting especially the different types of brickwork you create and the surface textures you add too.
Thanks

have done surface texture on a 3d printer, in 1:76 the trouble is you have two sorts of texture

1. serious oversized
2. invisible

MDF has a natural surface texture once you paint it that I think is spot on for brickwork. the mortar lines really set it off, especially not totally square bricks which is one of those things that looks wrong but makes the overall effect right

think the texture stuff would come into its own on roof tiles to put a very slight angle into them

One wonders if you were to rough up the face of the MDF with a piece of sandpaper before painting would the subsequent result look oversized?

you have to watch out as MDF will more tear the surface, I've found a car body primer gives a decent texture though
