About 10+ years ago I bought some HO scale bricks. Yes each one was HO scale and I made great things like bridges and statues and walls. They're all gone now and I can't find anymore. Does anyone know where I can find something like that. They were clay, gray in color and came in a bag big enough to build the Great Wall. Well at least a part of it anyway. |

Hirst Arts makes brick molds in a variety of sizes. Doug |

Not sure what scale they are, but Hobby Lobby sells them. You can also buy scored styrene with a brick pattern. |

If you want to cast your own stuff, I suggest you look at the Linka molds (Linkaworld.com, I think). They give you that brick look but you don't have to put each brick down individually. Hirst stuff tends to be a bit big for what you're wanting, I think. It works better for 25 – 30 mm stuff. |

You are not alone, I had a couple bags of those and used them like candy in dozens of terrain pieces only to find a couple of years ago they weren't made anymore, at least not by the company on the package. |

hirst actually makes a "small brick mold" that works perfect for this- the larger hirst bricks are for the 25-32mm figures but the small mold is often used for 15mm stuff |

Cut stone (not bricks) for 25mm are also in short supply. I remember they used to sell them in bags as well. Made beautiful forts with them, though they weighed a ton. |

Do you get a teeny trowel and mortar too? Personally, I do not think my life expectancy will allow this diversion into miniature brickwork. |

The Linka molds are in HO scale. Never worked with them, but they have some nice stuff in their gallery. |

Yeah HO scale bricks will be LINKA. Personally I dont rate LINKA as being up to much when used with plasters (of any sort) but its wonderful for resin – just dont use the original moulds when casting resin, they dont get on with urethanes at all well. |

"""hirst actually makes a "small brick mold" that works perfect for this – the larger hirst bricks are for the 25-32mm figures but the small mold is often used for 15mm stuff""" Yeah "but" – the "small brick mould" is still actually oversized in scale terms for 28mm… so its monumentally huge at 15mm or even HO… A LINKA HO brick is about 2.5mm x 1mm and represents a modern household brick. The HA "Small brick" is 1.25CM x 0.7CM. No comparison really. |
