Hello people,

I'm not sure if this is the right group to ask for those questions, but I
try anyway :)

I have set my mind to make a model of a curch from my home-town.
How do you aproach such a task?
Do you use only photos or do you use drawings from the curch?
How to find the correct scale to build in?

Here is the first attempts :

The last pictures in the folder, names orginal_xxx is how the curch looks in
real life. It has a realy strange shape. It is supposed to look like slabs
of ice stacked together.

When I have been satisfied with this building (I am almost satisfied), I
have other strange buildings (buildings with special arcitecture) from my
hometown I want to try to build. I have already tried another bulding that
was housing a cinema before, it is now rebuilt and contains a library:

(...) If I have to build a model of a (bigger) building, I try to get all the necessary information relative to the original edifice. Then I will ask for drawings such as plans and section in order to get the right dimensions. If necessary, I ‘ll (...) (19 years ago, 28-Dec-05, to lugnet.town)
