Made up the stencil (after playing around with the scale on paper) and decided to duplicate the gold motif for the lettering on the brick. I had to cut the stencil up to get it between the pilasters, but a little tape and some patience got the job done.
I drybrushed the paint into the stencil, working with a mix of yellows, oranges and browns until I liked the end result.
I think I'll put a big faded white border around the whole thing and then maybe do a gray between the white border and the letters sometime this week.
Oddly enough, one of the guys in our division is a Duplan, so I think he's going to get a kick out of this. Who knows, maybe he's a relative of Jean Duplan who started the company around the turn of the century.
