Realistic brick and stone patterns can be made in several different ways in miniature. If you are working in 1:12 or 1:22.5 or 1:24, or creating stone and brick details for model horse shows or some gaming terrains, the easiest way to achieve high quality finishes and patterns is by using these strong, reusable, mylar stencils from Bromley Craft Products. The stencils can be used in several combinations, and with all kinds of different materials to create stone and brick patterns. One of the easiest methods of making a realistic brick or stone finish is to use fine sanded grout with these mylar stencils.
