Brick Wall Set

I ordered a few of these because it is easy to use and you can build buildings with them. You are only limited by your imagination.

I found these very useful. I used them in multiple diaoramas as walls, often ruined. They can also be built into a complete building, or laid flat as a realistic street or sidewalk, low wall or high wall, sheep fence etc,, painted stone gray red brick or plaster white etc… even wall papered for an interior. I even used model putty one to make one side flat sheetrock like for an interior and the other raw red brick for an exterior in a building diaorama i did. You can also paint into a decorative Prussian brick style often found in North Germany and Prussia. They take propaganda and advertisement signs well on the side too. With additional material holes, windows and doors can be scratch built into them too.

I was slightly disappointed with this kit. It's not really an 'all in one' solution for someone who wants remains of a brick structure on their diorama because the 'broken brick' parts are broken off at such a predictable angle. They just don't look ruined and the piece is repeated over and over. It almost makes the kit feel like it was made for 1/35 scale wargamers than diorama builders. You'll need to cut and saw at these quite a bit to get them to look ruined for any realistic diorama. It is an older kit, but I am still disappointed that Tamiya couldn't have forseen a need for more realistic/varied 'damaged' wall sections - this is a simple kit, wouldn't have been that hard for them to do it...
