I was jest going to use the Default Scanline Renderer, should i use a different one? As I said i'm very new XD I have only jest gotten the basic handle on modeling, here is what i got so far:

THough I'm a hardcore Scanline fanatic I have to damit that Vray or mental ray(comes free with 3ds Max) can handle Global Illumiation, blurred reflections, glossy speculars and displacements faster than Scanline does.

Start with a near white diffuse color( I usally mix subtile different white tones with a very small noise map), use a very low Glossiness and a specular around 20 up to 30. For the bump map try the 2D tiles map using some color variance and a small speckle map for the brick color.
Depending how close you will show the object you might use a displacement map(in which case I would use mental ray for speeds and qualitys sake).
You also may paint the bump map, but I prefer procedural attempts.
Keep in mind that you need a proper mapping or unwrap for 2D maps like the Tille map
