<p>Good Morning Gang,</p> <p>what a terrible night!</p> <p>[sigh]</p> <p>Did not catch much sleep. I really like to know what keeps me from getting the rest I dearly need!</p> <p>Well, today´s is "M" day - moving day. We expect Petra´s relation to arrive early in the afternoon. They will stay over night with us. Petra will spend the better part of the day in the kitchen to prepare all the goodies we will need in the next days until the new household has been set up in working order. It´s a lot of work, but she really likes to do that. She is a gem (did i tell her that lately?)</p> <p>Ray - on that brick structure - there are many ways of doing that brick work. I have seen folks using Styrofoam sheets, engraving the texture. Looks fantastic, but you´ll need a steady hand and a lot of time and patience to do that. Here is what I´d do - take a look over the Big Pond! UK model railroaders do a lot of scratch building of brick houses. There is a company supplying down loadable textures, for a very small fee. You can print those textures on a high quality printer as many times as you´d need it, glue it on cardboard - here are your walls. This is what the texture looks like:</p> <p><img src="http://www.scalescenes.com/images/section_thumbs/TX11.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p> <p>Pretty close to what you are looking for, me thinks!</p> <p>Take a look at this web page:</p> <p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.scalescenes.com/">Scalescenes</a></p> <p>Y´ all have a good day!</p>
