[Grimm]

I think it comes from The Armorcarst Garveyard

[poulppy]

I like your church. just an idea for improvement : some colored windows You can made it with transparent paper for slideshow.

Awesome work Grimm! I can't believe you have not built more buildings based on this one. I expect to see an entire scratchbuilt town in the near future.  

[Troll]

 Wow! Very nice work!

I expect to see an entire scratchbuilt town in the near future. Surprised

not these year Rich !!! :roll:

poulppy,yes you are right I think next time I will do it  :wink:

Yes, Grimm, you are correct, that bit does come from the Armorcast graveyard set.  I did not use mine when I built my graveyard sections, but I still have it around somewhere.  The Armorcast terrain was really the first storebought terrain I saw and I just had to have tons of it, really great stuff.  

One of my current projects is to finish off their ruined cathedral model, I just need to detail out the base and rubble the interior up and it will be all done.  I mounted the cathedral on a bit of quarter inch hardboard 18 X 24 inches, and made four 6 inch square graveyard bits.  I figured after I got it all done, it would make for some fine spooky .45 Adventure games.  Little did I know a year or two ago when the project started it would work out that way.

And the church does look nice.

Just to let everyone know that it arrived safely. Thanks to Grimm for the excellent church, and Mrs. Grimm for the excellent packaging.

St. Grimm's: The village church of Bleid, near Verdun:


Thought I might like to give you an idea of how it will be used. Sorry, but I couldn't be bothered to lay out the whole village for these shots. You'll see that  at a later date.


"Ils ne passeront pas!"


The obligatory marksman in the campanile (bet he buys it first!).


The church is at the opposite end of the village to that where the German assault begins, so if it comes to this then Les Boches will have overrun the whole joint. It won't bode well for the local poultry, either.

[Malamute]

It looks great. Can't wait to see the whole layout with the village and read the battle report in due course

Well it better not be much later. These teaser shots have me curious as to what heroics will occur in Verdun.

[Vanvlak]

Very nice Plynkes - and Grimm, of course.
Campanile marksman - yay!      

[Plynkes]

Well, it will be ten French and twenty-four Germans later, which, at the rate that I paint, could still be decades away!  

While we're about it, it might be fun to have a priest. Does anybody know of one? A generic Catholic priest in vestments that could do for 19th or 20th Century gaming?

West Winds Gothic Horror Vatican Hit Squad wouldn't require a whole lot o converting:

[Plynkes]

Thanks, Hammers. I like the one holding the Bible. He looks more Craggy Island than Vampire-hunter, which is good for me.

[PeteMurray]

The obligatory marksman in the campanile (bet he buys it first!).

Make the German player yell "Francs-tireurs!" every time they target the marksman.

I also like the geese. It's a little detail, but it delights me.

[Hammers]

I like the one with the hammer. He sort of looks like he is about to nail the church sewing club minutes to the billboard.
