I've only done this as an experiment and a small part of a building, but
it looks pretty good if you use 1x2 red plates and stack them like
bricks. As Chris Weeks pointed out the mortar space is incredibally
tiny at minifig scale, so i would just choose to ignore it. The joints
of the plates represent the mortar joints, sans color.
Of course, getting enough 1x2 (and 1x1!) red plates is an entirely
different story.

Thanks guys. I'm not trying to be realistic in scale, although the 1x2 plates
approach sounds interesting. Rather I want a look that conveys the idea of
bricks and mortar. After all, minifigs are not to scale.
Pictures of what I mean. I bet your eyes just glazed over at my earlier
descriptions--what's he talking about?

The idea might best be conveyed with a few simple "brick spots" here and
there, especially on corners and edges...using simple 1x2's with single
plate widths between. It might look like the building is made of brick and
the paint is wearing off here and there.
