There are a few mortar products out there for doing this. They are a kind of paste with the color of the grout. You paint the wall, then rub the mortar all over the wall to work it into the lines. After it dries, you gently rub the residue off the high brick pattern and you have a pretty good mortar look. I tried to apply an india ink wa***o one building after this and it messed up the mortar a bit. I haven't figured that one out yet. BTW, HO scale buildings have deeper than scale mortar lines to provide the room necessary to put this mortar compound. If the lines were not deeper than they should be, you would hardly notice them at all. Good Luck - Ed
