Can any of the Forum members point in the direction of plastic sheet that simulates the look of glass block windows? Websites or URL appreciated.

Plastruct has some sheets of block looking glass but not really glass block. What size blocks are you looking for?
Perhaps I can laser cut it for you on frosted acrylic??

The piece I need is for the Downtown Deco Card Palace Hotel . The dimensions are 1 & 31/32" by 1 & 31/64" of the hole for the glass. 1/48 scale for the blocks. Real life size glass block look like they are 8" x 8" or 12" x 12".
I had this model built it and sold so I do not have any other specs.
The window hole size is 1-31/32 (1.969) by 1 31/64. ( 1.016) Correct? Do you want a frame around the blocks??
You need to be specific. The laser only cuts what I tell it to do. so 8x8 (.166 x.166) or 12x12 (.25 x.25)??
Stacked bond 8x8-->> note it does quite fit the the rectangle?
Stacked bond 12x12
Running bond ( shifted 1/2 block) or stacked bond? Typically stacked bond is used with GlassBlock. What about the mortar joints? Do you want the mortar joints showing? Maybe the score line is enough?
Let me know.
