Yeah, but that's the thing- it's not supposed to look charred. :D Especially
not the one over the doors, which is a full window surrounded by untouched
rock...
Anyway, the real secret behinf the church is that I'm too lazy to sit down and
build a full cathedral. But I've been overcoming that feeling lately, and
eventually what you've seen should just be the front end of the nave, and it'll
actually grow transepts, etc, and be reborn as a non-bombed out structure. One
thing that's kept me from doing this is the imperfection of black window
frames, though... so this should get me over that hump. Wow.

Argh. How simultaneously annoying and uplifting. Knowing that such a thing
might be coming is great, but it makes me regret the amount I am (no doubt)
about to spend on these arches. Of course, I'll be getting a bunch of other
parts, too... oh well.
When I was a kid, my friend and I built a skate park, and we made halfpipes out
of slopes. That worked pretty well.
