Brick Walls out of Foam question?
 
I am starting to notice a lot of people using that pink foam AKA Extruded Polystyrene to make brick walls, in which they sculpt/carve the bricks into the face of the foam and then paint it.

It looks FABULOUS, but i was wondering... what is the measurement for the bricks? I am very curious to try this, I just want to make sure it looks right!

I use 1/4 inch high, and 3/4 inch wife. There are a variety of lengths for bricks in the real world so you could use 1/2 inch wide and 1 inch wide for variety. You will notice when looking at mine that I use mostly 1/4x3/4 and 1/4x1/2

They are a little bigger than reality but look good at that size IMO.
