Church Build - FINISHED

[Coronasan]

I really like Tin Shed Gamer's church interior so I have decided to do up the interior of my own build buy adding some extra details.



There is a bunch of test bits in there so I plan to see what works and what does not.



I have painted the interior walls a light colour and the floor a dark wood.



The interior wall panels are designed to cover up the tabs from the buttresses on the outside and provide some interior window frames.



I will paint these a light grey to add a bit of contrast.



These bits also hide the join between the wall and the floor.

The next bits are the partitions that should slot into the gaps between the windows. I hope.

That's a big building...

[Ray Rivers]

 

What a difference that makes! 

[PhilB]

Brilliant solution! Even if you did nothing further to decorate the interior, this makes it a far more appealing interior space. Keep showing us in-progress pics, it's wonderful to follow your work.

[Coronasan]

I have finished the church, interior and all.



After painting up the inside panels, they covered up all the tabs really well.



I made a few different versions of the partitions, but settled on these two.



The partitions cunningly slot into the gaps between the inside window frames.





I also made some pews...



So basically I am calling this finished...



...with tall tower or short tower

But... where's the pipe organ, hmmm?

Great work! Can you describe how you go about creating these mdf pieces on a whim?

[Ray Rivers]

Yep!

That came out really nice! 

[Cat]

Very nice — let's go shoot that place up now!

That sounds like a challenge!

Great work! Can you describe how you go about creating these mdf pieces on a whim?

A few years ago, I started trying to use a dodgy Chinese mdf drawing package and really struggled at first, even to do basic editing. After a good few stiff drinks I managed to do some basic houses (boxes really) and have been drawing more and more over the last year or so.

Jim at Products For Wargamers cuts my designs for me, so there is a time issue in me drawing something and actually getting it cut to see if it works.

This church is part of my bigger Tudorish town project which has been on the go for most of COVID...

So you want a pipe organ do you?

[Wirelizard]

That's turned out very nicely! I really must get back to my church at some point and finish the interior and the windows. Poor thing has a floor, an altar, a finished exterior, but nothing else...

[tin shed gamer]

I think it's worth acknowledging . The nice combination of form and function. With the window surrounds acting as the suppots for the partitions.Whilst remaining a decorative feature when the screens are removed.
Nicely done Sir.

Well, I saw that big empty arched space in the back of the tower, overlooking the pews area of the church, and thought, what a great place for a pipe organ!

Great project. Can't wait to see more Tudorish village shots.

Personally, I now have 5 half-timbered houses, one kit, two kitbashed and two scratchbuilt. I can also opt to split the kitbashed 2-story houses into two one-story houses (if I ignore practical matters like needing a front door). So getting closer to being able to field a nice-looking village for an RPG session, or a small section of a fantasy-medieval city.

Splendid looking church! Even though I will never use the interior I'm tempted to tart up the inside of my TT church ,which is just a range of beige at the moment, the screens work particularly well!
