Actually I built most of the church (finaly got the spelling correct?) just
from memory, and the pictures I found later and then corrected to mistakes,
the horns for the organ and the walls behind the altar. But the organ needs
more refining, and maybe the mosaic wall I will try to rebuild to look a BIT
mor like the orginal. Now its just a random mosaic.
The stair in the front of the church need some redesigning...

It was actually that LEGO creation that started me in this project! And what
a nice church you have made.
But the scale I have selected was just from how many white 1x* bricks I have
:)
I only have a few 1x2 and 1x1 bricks left...

Actually it is many diffrent scales, the interior inside the church is not
in the same scale, that is why I ask here to find out how other people find
the correct scale to build an object.
The walls of the church is supposed to be taller and thinner and the church
should be longer. But I am restricted with the amount of bricks I have. But
I will try to get most features of the real church into my model (something
I think I already have managed to do) and the next step is to try to get all
objects in the same scale.

Thanks a lot for the constructive criticism.
