How to make walls:
What you need:
-lots of styrofoam
-sharp xacto knife
-ballpoint
-screwdriver or similar tool (keep reading to find out more)
-lots of time
...-patience
Step 1) cut the wall segments to the desired size (since I already posted the floor tile tutorial Ill keep this short. Make sure the xacto knife is sharp though
)
Step 2) draw the desired arrangements of bricks on the wall segments
I use one wall segment I made as "ruler" for the brick arrangement. I copy the height of the bricks to each corner of the wall segment, then fill in the rest of the wall
Route 1) use the ballpoint to trace the bricks several times using light to moderate pressure to get the desired depth. Once the desired profile is there, you´re ready to start painting.
(Since this method kept killing ballpoints and my girlfriend told me this ballpoint is the last I have for the project I decided to leave this route and opt for route 2)
Route 2)
Step 3) Use the xacto knife to trace the ballpoint markings (bricks)
You don´t need to cut deep. About 2-3mm is more then enough.
Step 4) Trace the bricks with the screwdriver (or similar tool) to widen the gaps between the bricks. You can also use the screwdriver to press single bricks in the wall a bit into the styrofoam to get a more irregular surface
After this you´re ready for painting!
Slow progress on the walls, but the floor tiles are coming along nicely
Here´s an image of a dungeon tile and an endzone tile for comparison:
