The "church in a corner" is almost as much of a model railway trope as the bus on the bridge.  Of course, I decided to follow suit...

The Parish Church of St Florian was always going to be a mini Coventry Cathedral in that it would be a burnt out ruined ancient chapel alongside a modern replacement.  I chose the name St Florian - an Austrian born saint who is the patron saint of firemen - to add a bit of irony in that the original chapel dedicated to St Florian was destroyed by a firestorm started by a mad Austrian born failed watercolourist.  It's a small site, built on a recycled corner bookshelf that was just the right size, and provides an oasis of green in the largely rebuilt lower town.  The idea is that when the replacement of the church was undertaken the old remains were kept and integrated into the development, and a simple landscaping scheme put in as the original churchyard had been badly churned during the bombing and a number of mature trees were lost

the modern church is of course the venerable (in both senses of the word!) Faller 1960s modern church, but modified with a proper British style roof of Wills slate plasticard to replace the rather tacky original style pantile roof with cross-shaped "Godlights", whilst the ruin is an Anyscale resin ruined Scottish stone chapel, which I gave a nice Midlands red sandstone finish with scorching and soot stains around the windows and doors.  the carved stone planters and nameboard are 3d prints, along with the large black parish noticeboard.  The hedge is a Javis hedge in a bag, and the statue of the real Saint Florian above the modern church door is a Preiser limited edition model of a genuine Austrian statue.

The two right angle sides will bound two other scenic boards, the police station and Government buildings will be opposite the front of the church complex, and the side will be bounded by a mixed use development of flats and shops, together with a multi-storey car park.  One advantage of the scenic being on individual boards is it allows access for cleaning, but also allows me to work on individual sections in comfort.

The front which will face a road access behind the Government buildings and the rear of Shaw Taylor House, the central police station.  So the House of God will face the House of Plod...

The side that will face the shopping precinct and housing estate.

The curved face which will front the railway, together with the war damaged ruins of the 12th Century chapel.  The board was a conveniently sized redundant corner shelf unit!

The old Faller kit looks far less odd with a traditional British slate roof.
