Material Tests

These are some miniature brick tests made with polymer clay, foam board and styrofoam. These bricks were made individually as a test to see if I could keep them to the correct size each time and to test the textures to see how well they would match a real brick.

I found the foam board was the easiest to work with and it had the best brick texture.

This is a test of applying the leading effect to the windows. To do this I cut duct tape into very thin strips and laid it over clear plastic in the desired pattern. I found it worked quite well and with practice could look even better. It may also need a slight dark wash to give it more of an aged effect as it looked very new and clean.
