Looks real good.

John, you are a man on a mission. Sure looks great!

Thanks guys, no paint, just dried that way.

I will add some vines and done!

Where do you get the prints?

Quick and easy scenery..... who wouldn't love that! Good job.

I posted them on another thread. They are:

http://www.cgtextures.com/

I photo shopped them to print in color on 11X17. Cut them out and glue them on like wall paper. I use elmers glue thinned with water. Sometimes it wrinkles during the application, but this gives it texture for the brick. After it dries the wrinkles shrink to nothing. Then if you want you can hit them with india ink washes(but not necessary) and add glued foam for vines.

Those look nice, did you print from your own copier or are these pre bought prints.

My own copier. regular paper, soaks up the glue very nicely and conforms to any irregularities.

Can't get over how good that looks.How can I print that out?Can you explain the installation method?

Looks good.  I like it.

Thanks for sharing.

J Daddy,

You are a Master Mason,

Thanks I encourage you guys to try it out. It like putting up wall paper.

Nick- I cut and pasted the jpg from the website in a tile format in an excel document, you can eyeball the size of the bricks when they print out. 

Cut what you need out and size it up on the wall, I use elmers and water mixed in a bottle, use a paint brush to spread on the masonite, and the paper. 

Then use an old credit card to squeeze out the air pockets...

simple, if you get stuck peel it off and try another piece. 

The seems are impossible to see and if you do, then add some woodland scenic foam up the wall in that area.

John your wall looks great.  I've been printing to card stock but your technique looks so much better on plain paper.

John,

Look's awesome, very nicely done !!!
