Great Job Peter! Its a beautiful church! It looks accurate,
and even if you left off a few things, it still looks detailed.
How long did it take you to build?

| (Sean Devolites) (...) Well, I started it on April 15th, when I went over to get the photos of the real church. It was done about a week or two before the GATS show July 12th... so the easy answer is about two and a half months. Actual building time (...) (22 years ago, 26-Oct-02, to lugnet.build.arch)
