Lol thank you for the kind comments ALPHA I can tell you I have been seeing bricks in my sleep!! I basically have to draw on the brick pattern and then useing a soldering iron burn the pattern into the plasticard ! Now were I get the card from is from a very good friend and one who has realy helped our Manchester club grow and has made some fantastic models.
Basically his friend owns a sign making company that uses plasticard sheets to make there signs and they allways have off cuts that they would normally throw away! So my friend Dave gets it for free and we share it out among us! So long as it to make buildings and not profit ! It's a gods send realy and has saved me sooooo much money and gives me the opportunity to build things that won't cost me the earth in plasticard!

I was about to say that about the brick work... I would end up cross eyed... I mean cutting mesh for the grill work is already a strain... when I saw what you did with those bricks...well it's just "striking
Fantastic work IMO...and I envy your plasticard source
