Bricking has begun!
I added vertical bricks to the slightly recessed section at the sides by cutting the pieces to fit individually and gluing them in place between the cardboard top and bottom. Putting the outer brick surface on the adjacent cardboard while leaving this section as is will create the indented layer. For the bottommost portion of the chimney, I created another veritcal row at the upper edge. Mini masonry goes much faster (and with better results) with guidelines, though there is the time involved in making said guidelines to be considered. I've also started applying the bricks to the herringbone frame and working my way up the chimney base. I think having the extra base the same height as the foundation will work out nicely.
