A local church.
Just to updateThe church is a almost copy of the one the next village to mine called willsrhorpe where I uses a bit of modellers licence was with the colouring of the stone and with the entrance porch which is not located on the side of the tower but on the front I like it more on the side. I chose this church as its where I got married and has a really strange spire roof. Most spires are all one angle where as this has two.

"What's this mess all over my grandmother's dining room table?"I chose this church as its where I got married …
"I'm scratchbuilding a model for my model railway, Sweetheart - uh - of the church where we were married."
"Oh. Well, alright then."

always have to model the wedding party no model church is evr complete without one. i was going to model a funerial but my wife said that was morbid.

i couldn't help myself when i decided to add a light over the doorway it just looks great when illuminated.

Your stained glass windows and application of lighting are especially efective. If not a funeral, perhaps a nicely grim unkempt graveyard?

I'd like to take full credit for the stained glass but it is printed by Langley models

Excellent for anyone's first attempt and should certainly encourage you to do more. I for one look forward to more of your scratchbuilds.
Woteesed, is it me or is the standard of modelling getting higher on YMR?
