Title: Gothic Cathedral Ruin??
Post by: dominic on 13 January 2008, 01:00:08 PM

Hi guys, need some help.
Who does a good Gothic Cathedral Ruin?
I'm looking for one that is about 20-30cm long and with a central ruined tower - like so:

You could produce something from Games Workshop WH40K ruins, if you want generic bits and can eliminate details such as Imperial emblems.

I'd recommend Hirst Arts.

I'd probably second Hirst Arts.
If you don't fancy homecasting there are people who just sell blocks - there's an eBay seller called WWG (WoldWideGames) that does quite a bit, and there are plenty of others around.

Otherwise Hovels have a ruined church (H54), not quite what you need but it has a tower :

Armorcast had some, don't know though if the new owners produce these as well. IIRC, some molds and masters were sold to different people.

Monolith do some nice pieces as well:

No complete churches/cathedrals, but you could make quite an extensive one out of the components.

I second JollyBob's suggestion of Monolith Designs. You could make an extensive cathedral from their church ruins. Excellent stuff it is. :)

Good pic lowtar, thanks, i never could have imagined them being that big..

Post by: dominic on 16 January 2008, 12:42:18 PM

Thanks for the suggestions guys!
Will bear in mind when I get around to the Cathedral!

Separately, any idea where I can get plain, smooth Gothic arches about 5cm tall?

This is what I'm looking to do:

Check out HirstArts (http://www.hirstarts.com/molds/molds.html), there are a couple of gothic moulds there which I think would suite you quite well.

Fortress Figures used to do some beautiful gothic arches and a really nice front door for a gothic style church...  they don't list their building numbers at the site anymore but perhaps they would still cast some up for you?

Hi Dominic, sorry for the late reply. I'll try and photograph my armourcast ruin cathederal for you when we have better weather here in Canberra.

Tally Ho for now.

I have the Armorcast ruined cathedral as well, I was very happy with it when I got a deal on it years ago.  I will be even happier to finally finish it off very soon.

Hi Dominic,

We now have bright and Sunny days ahead so I've been busy with camera to get the pics for you.

You can also purchase separately the alter and pews. I've quite a few pews other than shown here as they make great barricades - especially against the evil hordes 8) actually that must be the opposing side :)

Thanks Dominic,

Have you found a suitable building?

Cheers.

Very pretty, Hele. Did you just take a hammer to that resin building?

Post by: dominic on 15 February 2008, 08:52:43 AM

Helen - not yet.  I'm working on the Carentan factory first before I start thinking about the other buildings.

Hi Peder,

You can buy a ruin version of the Cathederal as shown.

Its a great building and very useful for my Western front WW1.
