The four sides have now been glued together and based to add rigidity. The windows have had more work and black card glued inside which may later be painted or fitted with frames. The reason I added a bit of grass texture to the base at this stage was to try to see how the overall model was going to look once complete, I'm going to line out the rest of the inside to disguise the Se Vende foamboard used for the main walls.
Next stage is to get the main roof sections to fit, so a bit more cutting and trimming required yet. After that it's going to require tiling with the Mediteraean style overlapping tiles for which I can use my own roof as a guide! If corrugated card overlapped in rows does not produce the look I'm after I'm prepared to tile the roof with individual card tiles shaped around a pencil or such to achieve a more realistic effect. Surprisingly, I'm really enjoying doing this so far.

Lovely church, useful and beautiful...
ReplyDeletemany thanks Phil.
DeleteYour church is coming along very nicely.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter, just need to decide how to do the roof tiles next.
DeleteThat looks pretty cool Lee.
ReplyDeleteCheers Ray, it's coming along better than I had expected!
DeleteLovely bit of scratch building! I like the texture and the proportions seem pretty spot on to me!

Thanks Iain. It still looks big, but any smaller and I don't think it would work with the 40mm figures.
