First, thanx.  :-)

Second, it's probably a bit strange.  In this case, the bricks are actually
"sinking into" the mortar as created by the macro.  It looks a little
strange up-close, though not altogether wrong, but from a distance, it looks
like the bricks are just a little bit irregular, which is exactly the effect
that I want.  For newer walls, the "roughness" factor can be adjusted, to
make the bricks much more regular (or indeed perfect rectangles).

The actual school I'm modelling was apparently built in 1873, according to
the mortar plaque* on the front of the building.

Here's a more distant view, using a small amount of focal blur (a little too
much, I think).
