I've had an empty plot of land at the bottom of Hill Street in my mountain town of Cuspidor for some time and have been putting off building a structure to fit. last week I was kindly given some sheets of resin cut-stone walling made by a friend of a friend. I made a little test piece of a dynamite store to see how it worked then set about using it for the flatiron shaped plot. I opted for a gable front with crumbling stucco. Once the building had taken shape it reminded me of old chapels I'd seen in Wales and Cornwall so that's what it became. St. Piran is the patron saint of Cornish tin miners and many "Cousin Jacks" ended up in the hard rock mines in N America. Here are some shots of the finished building. Now I can revisit Hill Street and get it finished. There's more info on my blog.
That's nice! How about a sign advertising a Pasty Sale? ;)

Nice stucco and colors/weathering.

Good work Barry..... 8)
Thanks. Jeff the weathering on the stucco was serendipity. I used a thin peeled card overlay on the wall. I brushed white glue on then sifted on bi-carb. I sprayed with rattle can camo acrylic then sealed it with Dullcote. I applied spray glue to the back a bit heavy handed and some of it bled through to the front causing the whitish areas. Just dumb luck but I'm not complaining.
When I was talking my previous dog for her oncology :-[ appointments, we had a routine. We'd stop here for lunch: http://www.purepasty.com (http://www.purepasty.com) and then on the way home stop at an ice cream place (now closed) around the corner.

I'm sure the dog let him have some.
That's all right then. A man is a dog's best friend after all.

It depended on the pasty. The dog liked the traditional ones, but didn't like the Lamb Masala or Moroccan spice versions.
dave
Those would be Samosas then. ;) Your dog was a traditionalist and right thinking in culinary matters.
