Over the past 3 months I've had the most enjoyable and satisfying time building this model of one of the local parish churches. In the process I have learnt an awful lot and next time, if there is a next time, there are things I would do differently.. In particular, I experimented with using DAS for the some of the stonework and hadn't realised what a versatile medium it is. Similarly with styrene sheet. I thought I'd really struggle with the spire but with styrene sheet it was relatively straightforward (once I'd googled how to draw an octagon - I didn't listen at school).

I have installed lights. I'll take a photo one night. I haven't seen what they look like in the dark.

For the stonework I experimented with a mixture of styrene sheet and DAS - styrene for the window surrounds and buttresses with DAS in between. I didn't have the confidence to use DAS alone (and certainly not for the tower).

I also had a go at resin casting the ornamental stonework at the top of the walls (which will have an architectural name I'm sure).

And now the model is finished I am feeling quite bereft and at a loose end. I don't know what to do next.
