Wasn’t paying £15 for one of them. 

Oh dear, I simply wouldn't buy any kit with such appauling brickwork rendition and all in headers! The brick bond depicted simply would not work and the scale of all elements look decidedly inconsistent.

Well done with your superior model Gray.

Hi thanks for the nice comments, it only takes a bit of patience and thinking to come up with something that looks ok. 

Lovely water tower.  Well done!

hi terry, thanks. 

At this scale, the type of bond is not that noticeable. The depth (cut) of the mortar between courses needs looking at. When I was a brickie 60 years ago 1/8"-1/4" was about the limit (the latter for a rain cut).. Now in the UK N scale is 1/148. That's 0.021 mm-0.042 mm. That's why paper is quite acceptable.in N, HO, and OO. Most railway brickwork was flat-surfaced cement anyway. Paper is 100% acceptable. Wood lapping is the same.
