So yesterday I put together a tutorial on brick making and I posted it in the FB group, but in case anyone here isn't part of that group or didn't see it, I wanted to stick it in here as well. The Easiest Bricks You'll Ever Make

The Easiest Bricks You'll Ever MakeLooks like it would work well in combination with the Tabletop Minions individual bricks...yours for walls, with the other for rubble around it... One thing to consider is that with the stamps if you take a bit of calk to create a level backer inside the stamp, you can press it deeper into the foam, just not covering the entire wall, and you could probably end up with something that looks a lot like a plastered wall if you're careful in your brick layout where they don't quite match up

Very cool! I also liked your 5 minute flock tutorial. Wish I had seen that before I spent hours cutting twine with scissors into fine bits...

Cranking out some strips of foamboard for the 2.5d next walls. Makes the going super fast and easy.

You probably wouldn't get results anywhere near as good. With stamps, you lose a lot of control with you up the number

you'd be surprised how much worth, a rolling stamp can get you. XD but i get where you are coming from, the fact is two sides are getting intertwinned and that would not be possible with multiples.

Rolling stamps work great for lighter impressions, with something like bricks, if you want them to look right, you need the deep impressions in order to get the right appearance. Now, a rolling stamp with gray could create a similar look, but the end result wouldn't be as good. With smaller scales, a rolling stamp would work rather well for shaping it, but that becomes iffy at 15mm on a good day.

i think you are just not pushing enough into it. the goal of the stamp i wanna make is for it to be 3D. which means it will have, like this stamp sides that will dig into the paper until the paper or foam arives at the top of the inside. thus leaving the brick pattern. if you want deep cuts with these, you just need to apply more strenght into it.
anyway, i have to first start making the thing for a test drive. but i've already tryed a few tools i had seen for different material and i can tell you. it works like a charm. but i dont want to dish out that kind of money for such things so i wanna do it myself.

Rolling stamps tend to tear away chunks of it, that's the major problem in keeping a consistent basic shape.

So yesterday I put together a tutorial on brick making and I posted it in the FB group, but in case anyone here isn't part of that group or didn't see it, I wanted to stick it in here as well. Fantastic tutorial. So simple! I have a mud brick town to build and I just thought to myself that I need to find a way to make the areas not yet covered by plaster/adobe and then I find this post. You are my new favorite goblin.
