I'd love to build a building or fence with a large continuous brick wall. Trouble is, resin pieces are too small and would be very difficult (and expensive) to "join" together, and no brick wall sheeting in 1/35 scale are available from Evergreen or Plastruct. Is there anything else I can do? Thanks.

Well, you could go down to the local Lowes/Home Depot and snag yourself a few "skids" from the Gypsum drywall area(I refer to the 3-5layer strips that are placed between each bundle of drywall Sheeting to give forklifts room to lift and stack.), these are discards so they are free to a good home. Lay a wet cloth on the paper backing until it loosens and you can rub/peel it off. Then soak/coat the resulting strip of gypsum board in a 50/50 H2o-White glue mixture to give it some integrity(helps prevent flaking & cracking.).Soon as that's dry you can lay out a grid on the strip with a pencil & straightedge, then scribe away. My preferred method is to 'set' the mortar lines with a #11 X-acto blade, then follow with a dental pick- not saying that's the BEST method, just what works for me. When you have your bricks carved out, coat the whole thing in a light grey/beige primer coat, then roll or lightly brush on your brick color. You can view some of my results using this method in my Photos under 'Incoming!'. I'd love to claim credit for this simple yet effective method but it aint mine. Do a search on this site for drywall brick method or somesuch & I'm sure you'll turn up many examples 10-100x better than my fumbling...
HTH!

scratch building is the way to do it. You could get a bunch of AM walls, then join them with putty, but that would be expensive.
Robert's method is a good solid way of doing it.
You could also make one section out of individual bricks and then mold it and cast it. I think Roberts way will be easier in the end.

i use plasticard and scribe away with a No 11 blade. check my arenhem dio to see them, they are only small but they look the biz!(well to me anyway)

If you have the patience here's a method I have used:
Brick Walls
Roll out a sheet of plasticene to about 1/2- 3/4 cm thick cut it to the shape of your wall. Now use a brick shaped object to impress whatever brick or stone pattern you want. I use different sized brick shapes carved from sprue and wood. When you've finished making your pattern build a retaining wall around it. You now have a mould of the brick wall. For the windows and arches I cut shapes from a sheet of plasticene and placed them in the mould so that the plaster would flow around them. Mix up some plaster of Paris adding a suitable brick coloured, water based paint. Pour the plaster mix into the mould and shake it gently to make any air bubbles rise out. When it dries you can peel off the plasticene and there you have your brick wall. If you're careful you can reuse the mould a few times. The method is adapted from the book "Roy Porter's Model Buildings Masterclass" which is well worth getting.

Thanks for all the advice, folks!

But based on unhappy past experience, using plaster in dioramas is out. Too heavy and too fragile. So I'll go with the plastic sheet technique.

You could also use balsa or jilly foam. Very easy to use.

I never heard of "jilly foam." Could you explain it further?

Balsa foam is the same as jilly foam. It is a foam that is very easy to scratch in and is a ideal stuff for dio's.

In my Iraqi dio i use it. If you went better pics, just ask.

Tamiya offered a brick wall set in styrene. The lengths could be joined together straight or at right angles, and small endcaps were included for the ends of rows.

I'm not sure where to find it. Do you have a link?
