And that's quite enough from long haired whingers from Greystones. I've had this DAPOL church kit in stores for quite some time now and I've finally put a brush to it.
This is obviously a base coat and will need additional work, but I picked up a packet of large brushes in a pound shop recently. I think they are for makeup. The large brush made short work of the building and I managed to knock it out in twenty minutes.
I have this model as well but have never got around to building it - they do a very nice windmill as well , Tony
ReplyDeleteThat they do, it's not a bad kit either.
DeleteNow that's a cracking kit, already looking good.
ReplyDeleteHopefully a bit of highlighting will improve things.
DeleteIt is a lovely building. The packet comes with a warning that original production techniques are used and that the builder may find some parts warped (which they will replace).
ReplyDeleteI had a slight buckle (warp) in the rear wall, but gluing with a hot glue guns brought everything into square ... more-or-less anyway.
I note yours does not have the cross on the bell-tower roof .... did yours snap off as well?
Anyway, nice building with a nice footprint.
I think this link will bring mine up - not sure if it will work here ... link

I decided to add a wire cross as the plastic one looked rather fragile. I can't seem to get that link to work I'm afraid.
DeletePerfect for skirmish gaming but useless for anything that uses rules that have a figure to man ratio because of the physical scale of the building which will be like a cathedral in comparison to the amount of actual ground space it occupies! EG in Age of Eagles La Haye Sainte is 25mm x 50mm in area and the whole of Hougoumont no larger then 100mm x 100mm in area.
ReplyDeleteI see your point, but I think we'll middle through.
DeleteNice looking church, and photos!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI can feel the holy from here.
ReplyDeleteTestify'
DeleteIt's a top model that one isn't it?
ReplyDeleteMark, from our group, did a lovely version in granite.
One can't have enough churches on the wargames table. That's a very fine specimen.
