You know, I have this brick material...I think it's actually brick! It came from a dollhouse builder's excess supply I picked up somewhere as scratchbuilding material. The bricks were actually adhered to a cloth webbing that could be cut with scissors. Once glued in place, all a person need do is add some sort of mortar. I think actual mortar or perhaps tile grout would work.
Anyway, I'm not at home so I can't post any pictures of these little bricks, but they're neat. I pulled them off the backing and have them in a jar. Size is about 1 cm x 1/2 cm x 2mm thick or so. If scored and broken, a relatively realistic SCALE HO brick can be made...there's a detailing project waiting to happen!
All that to say, if you haven't purchased any large-scale brick material yet, consider thinking way outside the box for a cheaper alternative.
Looking good...exciting to see something with so much potential. Thanks for all the lessons learned as well.

I may not be a rivet counter, but I sure do like rivets!
