Thanks Jon.

It seems I have a lot to consider- time being one component :)

It's the classic triumvirate - quality, price and time.  You can have any two but not all three.

I'm pretty sure I did .Now I'm going to have to go and check. lol

Titan terrain do a useful starting point church for your style of modeling.

Another useful company to look at is Scale Models DIY. 1/144 and 1/48 doll house's.
I'm quite taken with they way their kits .Great starting points (ignore the dolls house paint job).With bugger all effort needed to build them(built one with literally just a tube of super glue !)
Great instruction book even a piece of sand paper incase joints need adjusting.
Interior pic is from the smaller scale kit.
In fact she has a nice medieval hall which might interest you .

It's a really nice bit of kit, well cast, great design, but after working at Durham Cathedral for a number of years I think that  the architecture is a bit 'fantasy' for me.

How about 3D printing?
There was a chap at Fiasco a couple of weeks ago who had a stall full of assorted models, designed by a number of different people.
I think Ian Lovecraft might be one of the designer names that he mentioned.

I thought that one might have done the trick for you... although it (especially the floor, I think) does give me a bit of a Warhammerish vibe.  But I mainly play fantasy, and I quite like it, so thanks for the link Banderium.

It has been interesting to see what everyone has been coming up.  I really enjoy these types of thread, I have to confess.

Oh, me too! If I sound a bit negative at times, it's literally just the way I can come across through the net (I'm working on it!). I'm glued to this thread as already there have been three or four companies that I had pot heard of before my enquiry.  8)

I wouldn't know where to start........  ??? ??? ???

As far as I'm aware, there's no specific place in the NE of the UK where I could even get something printed. I could be very wrong- hope I am! :)

Is this even a possibility in Geordieland?

I don't know about your part of the world.But it might be worth a look.
In Hull the central library has a 3d printing service.
It proved to be such a pain in the Arsenal to find a decent church period.It just seemed every manufacturer including the big names , got so far and then totally ignored architectural features and opted for that'll do.
I ended up virtually scratch building on a £10 mdf blank model. Warbases was my first choice as a starting point but totally forgot to pick one up at the show .So I figured I'd try something different first then pick up the Warbases one if I messed up.

Cripes! I've just looked it up and low and behold, even Durham has a 3D printing service in our library!

Only it's not working at the moment :(
