I can not find any commercial available bricks on card board or styrene to mimic that kind of wall. Styrene is more robust and gets closer to the prototype if treated real harsh but printed brick card board is far to beautiful.
The side is often in a much worse condition making it even more complicated to find reasonable sheets of brick to be used.
The building from last night has sides made from Faller N 2568 (right side) plus massive black wash. I will use Vollmer 6042 (left side) today
A mortal wash on the Vollmer bricks. The card board bricks are not a good ground for mortal wash because they are to flat. Anyhow is adds the light gray touch typical for the side walls.
ps. There is one extreme expensive wood and and one molded brick wall available that would match much better. But the price can not be justified for simple side walls only.
Have you tried the Clever models Website, they have concrete walls , brick walls etc , along with complete buildings for paper/card modeling available for download?
It might have the brick pattern you're after?
