I have a flatiron shaped, empty site at the bottom of Hill Street that needs a structure. The gift of some beautiful resin cut stone walling from a friend set me thinking. I'm going to use it for this structure. One issue was going to be accurately fitting all the windows and doors so I came up with the idea of making a "stucco" card overlay for the front wall. It will be interesting to see how that works out.

| Wall blank with cut-out front wall plan overlaid as a paint mask |
 |
| Gable sawn and openings painted |
 |
| Openings cut out, the right side was an experiment. Easier to cut out but weakened the front too much |
 |
| I used the overlay to draw the plan onto thin card which I cut out, peeled and added broken stucco areas. I painted lightly with white glue then sifted on bi-carb for texture. I then sealed it with Dullcote |
