Fifteenth Century Church
« on: March 03, 2017, 10:42:58 AM »
A late medieval village church, for use with my HYW and later medievals.



It's a Vollmer HO model railway kit - of a cathedral - but works fine with 28mm figures (the doorways are just about big enough). Built from the box, with replaced roofing sheets as the model has modern skylights i wanted to avoid.
Excellent customer service from Vollmer btw, the kit is out of production and the one I purchased from a model shop in Germany was missing the base. However within 2 weeks Vollmer had pressed a new one and sent it to me from Germany, free of charge.



More pics on the 'harness and array' blog.
Cheers, Simon.

What a lovely model: the spire is particularly fine.
Back from the dead, almost.

That looks very good.  I have seen the kit but had not considered it for use ith 28mm figures.

Would the 60 quid price tag be part of the oooh-noooo equation? :-)

It is pretty though and it looks the business.

Spiffing- a great centerpiece for any town, and usable up to modern times.
Cheers!

This works surprisingly well.

A nice big door in the archway just in front of your priestly person would really 'secure' the building in 28mm.
