    I don't begin to understand why that is upside down, it isn't on my computer...
    Here is the space for jokes about Australia being down under. ...

    and here is the second photo, which will also be upside down no doubt.

    Hi Bruce
    Great to see your place of worship coming together.:worship:

    It looks really nice.
    after he exhibition is over I'm going to have another go again at the scale scene coal office that I stuffed up, Then didn't have anytime with the exhibition coming up to go again.

    Bruce this church would be a good one to put some warm White LED lights in to show off the stain glass with it illuminated from the inside.

    Looking forward to the rest of the build.

    Will we see you at the exhibition at the brick pit??

    Hi Chris

    I certainly plan to use warm yellow lights. I have a large supply of bright white ones. As LED lights produce little or no excess heat, do you know whether it is possible to paint them a pale yellow? I guess I can just try it out on my desk. What can go wrong? A small electrical fire, pah. I'd rather find that out outside the newly constructed church.
    What I didn't say about these pictures is that it is all just propped up at present, not glued together. It's a very big model and is taking hours. That's a good thing. Rainy days, interesting podcasts to listen to, hacking away at cardboard, nice way to spend a retirement.
    Yes I'll be at the exhibition with Stuart again. Looking forward to it.

    Hi Bruce

    You can try thinned acrylics, convinently yellow is normally fairly translucent.

    You could also keep the voltage as low as possible - try a 3v supply (e.g. a battery)

    Or try shinning through tracing paper or brown grease proof paper, that may give a more even light behind the stained glass, to avoid bright spots.

    I have now reached the stage where it is all to be stuck together. When it's finished I will work over the details, using watercolour pencils probably.
    I've taken some more progress photos, including a car to show the size of this model. I guess it shows that parish churches are a lot bigger than shops...

    cracking looking model Bruce, windows are superb. You are going to have to put a light in there to show them off. :thumbs:

    Lights should be easier than in other Scalescenes buildings. The floor is designed to be stuck down to the baseboard. I think I'll make a minibaseboard out of ply, rather larger than the building.
    Then that will be put on open plan bench work. That will make it easy to drill holes for the leads to the lights. The tower is a separate building so will need its own lights for the window there.
