A bit of a dilemma

Re mortar you would be looking for something 0.1mm thick, which is about the thickness of a piece of paper in one of those A4 ruled pads I seem to have used a lot of when I was at work. I'm not sure how visible that would be.

At least they wouldbe abit lighter than the real thing... once you have moved a couple of thousand you get an appreciation of how heavy a brick really is.

It is interesting that there is a turn to frogs in bricks as most pressed factories have gone in Australia with a move to wire cut bricks. I have only seen concrerete bricks that have a groove rather than a frog. These are for covered rendered work. Generally the brickies prefer to use the clay that I have come across as the concrete ones are harder. This I will pont out is different to concrete blockwork which are larger in size.

Hi all,
the Exactoscale Architectural sheets were printed in Australia (as stated on every sheet) in fact I printed every sheet sold.
After Malcolm Cross (the person who was the creator of the sheets artwork) died, so did the orders.
I have just contacted C&L who seem to be taking on the Exactoscale existing products, to see what I should do with all the artwork films in my posession.
So, unless they or someone wants to put them back into production, I guess that they will die a natural death, such a pity after Malcom' s (and my development) gone into it.

Cheers.

Neill

PS. Only a few months ago, I threw out (dumped) the hundreds of sheets that didn't quite make the stringent quality control that Exactoscal expected over the years, another crying waste!

Hi Neill.
It would be such a waist to see these gone for good. I do hope you can fined someone who is willing to take them on.
I'v seen some lovely models built using these sheets, and now would be a boon to those who cannot afford to have lasser cut kits ect made.
Good luck and please keep us posted as to the out come.

Alan.

Perhaps we could start an email campaign to C&L to take on the artwork and produce some sheets?
