Been in and out of Eye Surgery the last few months. Someone (Sorry can find the post or person name) asked about building walls so I am reposting an article I wrote here years ago. hope it is useful.
John Building a Wall

Oh, you mean Donald.
Never knew he was a member here (LOL)

A very useful tutorial, indeed! But who's paying for it??

As usual...the little guy!

Wasn't the neightbours on the south side of the wall supposed to pay for it?

Just take it out the the money you give them and then they are paying for it, in a way..

Hi John,
The two images of the sculpting tools on page 2 seem to have gone missing or are broken in some way.
The article was a good and informative read

For everyone else:
When you do decide to show exposed bricks in a wall, PLEASE, take a good look at some real brick walls first.
The LEGO or stretcher bond pattern of next layer shifted half a brick sideways only works for simple constructions, like building a permanent grill/fireplace in your back yard.
I exaggerate to make a point, the stretcher bond IS used for more purposes but not for load carrying walls in a building.
See this link for some background on brick bonds:
https://theconstructor.org/building/types-bonds-brick-masonry-flemish-english-wall/11616/

If you are modelling a ruined building in the centre of a major European city the stretcher bond is not a good choice.
It would be plausible for a kicked down partition wall in a Wild West shootout scenario though.
Small house in a small village on the eastern front? Try to find some photos to work from.
The thickness of the walls or masonry work also depends on the purpose. To carry the loads of a 3 or 4 storey building the walls will need to be several bricks thick. Look a photos of the real buildings.
Sorry for the rant ...

Pay for it with the money tree. Just pick a few thousand, or billion dollars. It’ll grow back
