Bricks & Blue Doors. Painting Millions of Bricks, Weathering & Creating a Shadow Box Scene.

[@Rallalla111]

Wow, what a great result you can achieve with the sponge, so simple and yet so effective. I'll make my next diorama like this. Top!

[@dioramadevil]

Fantastic paintjob, Rick... The bricks looks real...

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Thank you. I assure that they are NOT real bricks....but, a lot of paint! Take care and thanks for the visit.

[@russjones6697]

Brilliant, love the idea of a flat. Definitely something I’m going to try. Nice one 👍🏻👍🏻

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Hi Russ. They are fun. First time for me, but certainly not the last! Thanks for watching.

[@erickirwan8703]

Love how you painted that brickwork, looks fantastic. I'll be trying that out for sure👍

[@coldemonspl]

OMG! What a awesome piece of architecture! You turned it out great! Im looking forward to the next episode to see where it will come! :)

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Thank you, Lukasz. Appreciate you stopping by for a look!

Very interesting thing, and great works by You. It looks really great finally. All the best for You! ;)

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Same to you, my friend.

[@customdioramics7961]

Love the sponge method, makes for a great way to do a building or structure faster. I have not painted anything in years due to production and casting but I learned this technique from Bob Letterman years ago. Glad you are showing the technique again for all those who have never seen or used it. Great work as always.

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Have a very Merry Christmas, my friend.

[@rrl4245]

Another great video, and narration, full of useful techniques. Thanks. A face peering out one of those windows might have made a nice, and amusing addition...

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

This is one of those projects that could go on and on and on and on.....thanks

Thanks for watching.

[@SmallSoldier]

Nice work Rick! Those facades are really nice. Cool idea and project. I've always wanted to do a shadowbox... maybe someday.

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Hey Scott. Yea, the idea of a wall hang/shadow box has been on my bucket list for a while - I enjoyed working on it very much. You would have a blast.

[@SmallSoldier]

@@RickLawlerPropaganda I’m sure I would. I’ve had several ideas for shadow boxes, it’s the lighting that freaks me out.

[@lexi_9995]

I would like to respectfully make a suggestion. The letters attached to the wall with iron bolts will rust and make streaks down the wall, which would be in keeping with the general weathering on the brickwork. Regards Lexi.

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Great suggestion!

[@plasticposse768]

This is fantastic, Rick! Really great!!!

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Thanks!!

[@lukashuettner]

Man, building warhammer terrain here, and I absolutely love your sponge technique! thanks for sharing!

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

That's really nice to hear from you. I'm glad that you found something that I hope will be useful in your own work. Good luck.

[@PJHamann1]

Very cool Rick. BRICKS!

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

What does that say when we get excited about bricks? Thanks, Pete.

[@ivoferin8176]

Great spin off Rick!! Deserved a figure on a window!

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Next time!

[@michaeldean1289]

Great piece of work mate

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Thanks, Michael.

[@lmmodellismomilitare]

Wow! So nice to see and perfect! I use it for one of my next project, a good idea!

Nice work Rick😘

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Thank you kindly

[@POGORSKY]

Greta technique! Thanks!

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Glad you liked it!

[@danbuchmeier]

Aaaaah jeeeez, another brilliant piece sir. I think this might launch you into the box diorama world and then turn to fine art, then your MOMA show.

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Brilliant? It's just a wall hanger! Thanks, Daniel

[@stevenjohnson8309]

What is the sponge material and do you have a good source to buy it?

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

It is simply the packing sponge that comes in packages. I'm sure that if you went to a craft, or fabric store you can find something.

[@dogforeyals]

beautiful...:)

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Thanks, Ryan.

[@sferguson1130]

Looks awesome so far! I just hit the 9 minute mark, and was a little surprised, when I saw you cutting the acetate, with a #11 blade. Surprised probably isn’t the right word lol. I just find, using an Excel #22 curved blade, vastly simplifies cutting any material/line, with a radius in it. Fits in the same handle too 🎉. I also find those blades, to be incredibly helpful, when shaving down the underside of fenders, or plastic ( unused detail, injection mark, etc ), in the center of a panel or something, that you’ve looped off with a chisel. No digging in/scratching with the blade tip. Anyways, thanks for the video! So inspirational!!

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

You might be surprised to know how spartan my work bench is,...no fancy blades!!! Maybe time to splurge!

[@sferguson1130]

@@RickLawlerPropaganda lol, Spartan. Love that 🤘Do you have a business address, or a PO Box, where people can send you stuff, to support the channel? I’d happily send you some, to give a whirl. It’s certainly subjective, but for me, they are a must have, and they last “forever”

[@bastelbude4100]

Realy cool 🤘🏻Nice Idea 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Thank you,

[@genekloszewski5484]

Kitbashed,..nice parts you left behind! Oh well, did a nice job though.. One of my favorites are railroad buildings "O" scale, fun to bash & weather... I mix with armor, & military 1/35 th scale.

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

I use the un-used parts...some day?

[@WelderART]

​what brand is this house ?

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

RT-Diorama - there is a link to their website in the description

[@jonfoisy1237]

That company makes some great looking kits. I have yet to buy one. It's one my wish list.

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

RT Diorama makes some excellent kits, super nice, you won't be disappointed.

[@Vincent-gc8zd]

Wow!😀

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

A "good" wow -- I hope?

Sponge painting! Always forget about these beyond adding chipping. Like building and idea for it.

There are too many tools out there!!! Sometimes the simple are the best - and most easily forgotten
