H guys--
I plan to do a dio( my first ever) in a barnyard with a brick barn in rural France, and need a TON of bricks. I have done some research,and found an idea using a jig made of sheetstock with stripstock of appropriate size glued on. Filling the jig with coloured plaster and scoring,allowing to dry and breaking out produces bricks.
Being the over analytical guy I am,anyone have any other ideas before I get into the masonry business?

what scale re you working in?and it depends on where and when the barn was built?
you could make a few masters and stick them together to make a small section of wall,make a mould and cast as many sections to make your barn,if you are modelling in 1/72 thn have you thought about the linka moulds they do all sorts of mould,bricks,tiles,enen log moulds,hope his helps panther1121

You can use Hirst Arts (http://www.hirstarts.com) small brick mold.

Forgot -1:35 scale ..the barn is located in the bocage area in the latter stages of Operation Cobra in France July/August 1944.

I have a full brick wall on my site, if you need a few i can work with you on the price and it's resin, easy to join.

check out the link and let me know what you think

If you are not making a destroyed wall I would suggest just making a small mold which would be the size of a section of wall and carving the bricks into the blank block. There are articles on how this is done, if I can come across any I'll post them.

I love the cork Idea ..its cheap ...right up my alley ...and it looks like a material that can be worked into alot of possibil;ities ...you guys amaze me at your resourcefulness..and Ill say again how happy I am to have found this reference ...I will repay all your hepl by in turn helping anyone I can..(my forte is WW I biplanes )
