Good job Stephen, will you be adding texture to the surface and irregular dinks on the individual bricks? You can usually press a rough stone to get the surface texture.

Cheers,

Here's an example of what I managed to achieve with the rough stone and scalpel.

The bricks appear to be uneven and not flat. Painting will enhance it further.

Looks good. Another way to add texture is to use a screwed up ball of kitchen foil.
