Model Overview

Artitec’s Bricklayers 1930s-1990s set includes two individually posed construction workers depicting a traditional bricklaying scene. One worker is bent over applying mortar with a trowel while the second carries a stack of bricks, accompanied by several partially built brick sections that create a natural work-in-progress scene for construction sites, building projects, industrial areas, and town layouts.

Each ready-made 1:87 HO-scale figure is individually hand-painted in realistic work colors with carefully rendered clothing, caps, boots, tools, bricks, and masonry details. The figures and included brickwork can be placed directly into a construction scene, streetscape, industrial setting, or model railroad layout without painting.

Historical Context

Bricklaying has remained a fundamental building trade throughout the twentieth century, with masons constructing walls, foundations, chimneys, and other structures from individual bricks joined with mortar. Bricklayers traditionally worked with hand tools such as trowels while laborers or other members of the crew supplied bricks and materials to the work area. Although construction equipment and building methods evolved considerably between the 1930s and 1990s, these basic masonry techniques remained recognizable throughout the period depicted by this set.
