Excellent Dan. Good to see an effective method of doing brickwork 👍

[@T-Ingvarsson]

Tiptop how-to.

[@bobtudbury8505]

awesome , the best i have seen . thank you.

[@anthonywallace8534]

Fantastic video Dan enjoyed every bit of it and learned alot😊

[@derekalexander4030]

I knew they taught us fingerprinting in kindergarten for a reason. Great effect on the brick strip.

[@miketiller6046]

watched so many of these vids in prep for my brick painting.....hands down this one is the best.....

[@davemason8614]

Thanks for the tip about sealing the base coat first! I did my coal merchant hut this way but some of the blue brick came off with the cream. Cheers

[@musoseven8218]

Nice work Dan, thanks for sharing 👍👍👍😊😊😊. I've got another two versions of that I've used (three if one counts whitewashed brick) and a complex method using weathering powders, which adds texture for specific applications 👍😉

[@durhamranger988]

Great results! Thank you for sharing.

[@peaks4719]

Nice one Dan that was great

[@dibsyardshuntinglayout]

Fantastic technique, Dan!

[@FlyingScud]

Superb. Useful advice. The sealing with matt varnish is a great idea. I will try using a sponge to dab on the first layers to provide texture (in my particular case) then highlight individual bricks, coat of matt varnish, then smear the mortar colour over. I will try fingers, but will also try a grouting squeegee. All good stuff. Thank you.

Nice trick! 👍😁👍

[@MrLosttheplot]

amazing. so skilled. thank you

[@cardiffcanton4mm936]

Thanks Dan, great video

[@SmoooothEight]

So simple and effective.

[@kymvalleygardensdesign5350]

I will try this technique, I have in the past used a Humbrol matt enamel cream to paint the entire wall and then with a stiff bristle artist brush dry brush the acrylic in random directions over it, I too have used black, burnt umber and raw sienna. Dry brushing some thin streaks of black also helps indicate weathering.

[@stevehopkinson8000]

That created an excellent result and I will try your techniques. Thanks very much.

[@TonySmith-cd7jo]

There are many variations of this technique all with slightly differing results. Personally, I have mostly settled on using enamel paint for the brick colour, then using guache (water based paints mixed with a little isoproyl alcohol (or washing up liquid) to break the surface tension for the mortar joints. The beauty of this method is that the gauche can be left to dry fully because it can be re-activated when you wet it. This allows very neat removal of the paint from the surface of the bricks using a whetted rag or cotton bud. You can seal it then if you want, to fix it permanently.

[@tjfSIM]

That’s a really useful tip 👍

[@tommartin5]

Excellent 👌

[@johna.dawson709]

Great "How to" video.. will try the same techniques on a few buildings i have..

[@WesternSignalman]

I always have trouble with the Mortar lines, will have to try this, thanks for the video 👍

[@user-un6bt3mm4m]

great way...I get similar effects using tippex and rubbing it into the mortar joint. If you dispense with the lacquer you also get a weathering effect on the mortar to varying degrees. As you say you put on or take off as much as you want

[@seanpacificrailroad3700]

Great video thank you I love how you did this is absolutely amazing😀👍

[@user-oc6ve4nb6z]

You explained the method in such simplicity and I enjoyed the video more than ever PS: I am subscribed

Hi, I am new to resin 3d printing. I have been using Autocad for over 25 years and primarily design water/wastewater pipelines and pump stations. I have been designing one of our pump stations in Revit and learning how to turn that into a .STL file in order to 3D print it. My question is, do you 3D print your own models and if so, how do you print things like a house or building and show the brick/stone texture on the outside of the model? Thank you.

[@nickhardy9862]

Hi great video and really nice result - do you think your technique would work with painted on matt varnish ? Many thanks!

[@julianlane8313]

Great advice and method thank you. Is that a kit bridge or was it scratch built? Cheers Julian.

[@tunnellanemodelrailways2528]

Hi Julian it's a kit bridge from laser line model railways.. If you are on Facebook please come and find us.. Regards Dan ( Tunnel Lane Model Railways )

[@Castlebridge-00]

Great tutorial. I will try to do it but my colour and painting skills are so far down at the bottom of the barrel, a scraper will not reach them. Barry.Devon

[@tunnellanemodelrailways2528]

Honestly Barry it's a very simple process.. If you get stuck head over to my facebook page for more info.. facebook.com/groups/tunnellanemodelrailways/?ref=share

[@lesfewtrell2507]

enjoyed vid but where did you get that o gauge bridge

[@pim1234]

What is 'buff' ?

[@convinth]

You might be doing it a hundred mile an hour but you're also speaking at a hundred mile an hour. Slow down when speaking so I can hear what you're saying.

[@grays257]

@ convinth If you want to hear what he is saying just click on the cog wheel (bottom right of video) and select playback speed and choose a slower playback speed. Much better than criticising someone whose good enough to take time to make videos to pass on tips and techniques.
