Popular Post allan downes Posted April 22, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) Just for a bit of fun and friendly bantering, myself and some bloke called Robinson thought that maybe a little "Model off" - which he can't win of course anyway - might nor be a bad Idea by way of a little light entertainment where you will get the opportunity to see Robinsons futile attempts first hand as my efforts leaved him totaly stunned ! - so, I'll kick it off first and, of course Iain, if it's too much for you then I'll understand and we can close the Thread and both go home early !!

Guest jonte Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Okay. My turn. Is that a kit-bashed Airfix church or am I much mistaken, Allan ? (no smileys available I'm afraid!!!!). Best wishes, Jonte Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Iain C Robinson Posted April 22, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted April 22, 2013 OK Allan, I have to confess that I have only ever made one church model, and that was in 2mm scale...that's right, no giant card models of Chartres or St Pauls! It was about 20 years ago and I will try and dig it out. In the meantime, since you have won round one, how about this, a model of a mill: Well, it's tall. like a church! Cue 400 incredible mill buildings from Downes... cheers, Iain 25 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain C Robinson Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Here's the little 2mm scale church model that I made for my dear late friend Harry Rutter of Dyserth. The background is the view from my old house in scotland and I think this was taken in about 1979! 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Iain C Robinson Posted April 23, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted April 23, 2013 That mill is lovely, Allan. The church just seems to sit perfectly in the landscape, too. Brilliant. Well, here are a couple of shots of a water powered mill, apologies as some of these shots have appeared on my blog before. This was a freelance structure, built with das scribed walls, but using the Wills sluice mechanisms which are excellent. I'm just playing catch-up here, as Allan has another 8 mills up his sleeve... 28 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain C Robinson Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Magnificent! Is this 7mm, Allan? The structures are, of course, superb as we have come to expect...but the figures are really nice too. It all has a lovely atmosphere. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
