More work on the brick wall. First some forming and sculpting in order to get a more varied and interesting look.
Then some basic dark red brick color...
...followed by an attempt to get some color variation. Yes, this looks ridiculous, but do not fret. 😄 It will get better during the steps that follow...
...which was to cover the lot in a mixture of dry plaster and find sand. The basic purpose being to add mortar between the bricks. But when this was later wetted with alcohol follwed by diluted PVA glue, it also helped to tone down the colors and add some mortar and plaster residue on the surface of the bricks. Since I was too eager, and did not way until the paint from the previous step had fully dried, it actually toned the colors more than I had planned. But in the end I think that was OK.
Finally, I added patches of spackling compound, painted and meant to look like remainders of the original plaster covering the wall. I also added some cap stones and did som general weathering.
