Hello people,
I’m not sure if this is the right group to ask for those questions, but I
try anyway :)
|
Yes, it is (crossposting to .building and .general would be appropriate as well)
| |
I have set my mind to make a model of a curch from my home-town.
|
Wow, that is a beautiful church (note the spelling:-)
| |
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?

Well, when I build from real life, I use anything and everything I can to
help me recreate my subject more accurately-- photos, blueprints, schematics,
even movies (my son and I had fun watching and rewatching a Harry Potter film to
try and determine just how many coaches are in the Hogwarts Express:-)
As far as scale goes, that’s up to you. I have determined for our club to build
at a scale of 1:48 for “minifig scale”. But I’ve also found that how many
bricks I have available for a project and how much money I’m willing to spend to
get the necessary bricks for the project is a chief determining factor as well.
You can choose to selectively compress your subject, or
not:-)
That looks terrific! Looks like you already chose a microscale of some sort,
like maybe HO (“Half O”, which is 1:87) “O” Scale is 1:48. Those are model
railroad terms, HO and O, for those specific scales.

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:

That is a fine work on a fine subject-- strange-shaped buildings are always fun
to see modeled in LEGO, especially when we can see the original with which to
compare it. Thanks for sharing!
