I wonder if it would be possible to cut them nicely with a Wire Grid.
Your Domus Project is beautiful.

Yes, probably other methods are possible, this is just one of them!

so what material do you use to put the bricks together to make a wall or the house.

I use common vinyl glue, then I fill the joints with cement. Last step, a coat of transparent varnish (sometimes smeared with cement while still fresh to give to the wall a "dirty" look)

Are the bricks fully cured at the time of cutting or is there still a touch of moisture left?
I was wondering if a lot of breakage happens.

No, they're totally dry and strong enough. Consider that the size is very small, is not easy to break them.

The perfect material for building scale houses, and made the same way as real sun-dried brick!

I'm testing now a new kind of bricks made cutting old real clay bricks into slices with a saw... it's a whole new level in my mental disease

fascinating - well-presented, and the photos clarify any questions I might have had. I can see brick-making in my modeling future.
