I built mine by taking styrene brick sheets, and using them to make a mold out of latex mold making material (Woodland Scenics). Then I pour wet plaster into the mold, and I have a “brick” wall.
If you have access to AutoCad or some other CAD program you can take a photograph of an existing wall, import it into the Cad program, scale it and print it on a high resolution color printer. Once in Cad you can copy the section of brick over and over to make a larger section of brick.
