I came across these stone and brick stencils that come in several sizes and styles. They might work great for the people who have long sections of retaining walls. I have not used them, but they look intriguing.

Thanks, Mark. That is an interesting approach. At first, I didn't see the point until I realized that they were meant to be used with something like light plaster or other texturing material that will produce depth. Cool.
I'm actually more interested in the brick patterns than stone. Hand carving techniques are arguably superior for random patterns. But for precise, repeating patterns such as brick and cut stone, this could be a very effective technique.

Why don't you contact them? info@craft-products.com
They have international shipping. At check out you will have several chooses. Their main business is miniatures for doll houses. Please send them an e-mail or their are US vendors doing the same thing. With bricks & stones, you may find this better.
Good Luck
Are these essentially surface molds that you press onto wet plaster?
You put the stencil down first and apply the brick compound over it. When you remove the stencil, the bricks are left.
This kind of stencil would be a very nice beginner's project for a 3-D printer or a laser cutter.
Thanks for the info.I ordered a few.This will be great for my scratch built factories and steel mill buildings.Nick
