Capt Wolf Posted February 7, 2021 With an influx of newcomers to Interlagos, the settlers in this growing town decided it was time to build a proper church (rather than use the tavern as a makeshift meeting place). Field stone was used for the walls, and timber from the local sawmill was used for the roof. Stained glass was brought in from Fuerte Unido for the windows. Some more pics: Spoiler To be licensed as a small art & culture property. ------ After working on some micro builds recently, I decided to go to an in-between scale, building this mini-scale build that is big enough to qualify for a small property, but not so big as to require more bricks than I have access to at the moment. All C&C welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Dee Posted February 8, 2021 I really like this scale of micro-builds and this church turned out pretty good. I'm impressed that you managed to include stained glass with that much detail. The main roof seems kinda bland; otherwise I really like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mesabi Posted February 8, 2021 Excellent use of parts Wolf! The build looks great, and the colouring is fantastic! Great job doing that in the small scale! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kai NRG Posted February 8, 2021 I love your stained glass windows here, and the texture/colors are also good - nice job making it interesting but not overpowered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evancelt Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) I really like the colors, @Capt Wolf! Nice job at this scale - looks real! Cool stained glass. The window panel for the door looks great! Like @Captain Dee said, the studsy roof is the only part that doesn't look polished, but I do think if you'd gone two plates thick (or plate + tile) without hiding the lip it would have looked too bulky.

NOD Posted February 8, 2021 Nice and well built church. The windows are a highlight and the bricks for the door are a good idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for the roof, I agree with you, but ...

I experimented with a more detailed roof and it just didn't work right at this scale. On 2/8/2021 at 5:41 AM, Mesabi said: Excellent use of parts Wolf!

Amazingly, I didn't have that door window panel in mind when I started the build, but once I remembered it, it was an obvious go-to piece.

I had to keep it simple or the details would be overpowering at this scale. Thanks to everyone for the comments! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Count Vroskri Posted February 10, 2021 Although an unusual scale, this is a brilliant build, and it is great to see some variety in what the definition of microscale is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Dee Posted February 10, 2021 Regarding the roof, I think a flat tiled roof installed just like the plates, connected on the bottom with plates but with the tiles overhanging all the edges, would still give you a single thickness and eliminate the exposed studs. Just an idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks. Yes, "micro" scale isn't all one scale. It was fun to work at this in-between scale. 2 hours ago, Captain Dee said: Regarding the roof, I think a flat tiled roof installed just like the plates, connected on the bottom with plates but with the tiles overhanging all the edges, would still give you a single thickness and eliminate the exposed studs.

Bregir Posted February 11, 2021 Excellent church, Capt Wolf! It is fun to see you too took this in between scale - it is the same place I ended up with my Cartwright for Wullham. While still conserving bricks, it allows for much more detail than microscale-"proper" - and this is a brilliant example! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm thinking about doing more like this, although I don't have any specific inspiration at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
