3D Model chimney

I made a chimney for my miniature southern country store. I first made a 3D computer model using Solidworks. I chose the Standard brick size and a mortar gap of a scale ½”. I sent the model to Shapeways and had it printed in their FUD material. After I received it, I did the usual sanding of the layer lines on the brick faces and then cleaned it thoroughly with Acetone. Using a sharp file and an X-Acto knife I added some general distressing and chips to many of the brick edges and faces (The FUD material is easy to carve).
