Good evening everyone Day 18 rebuild the back wall is now going back in played around with the louvre/shutters on the bell openings, not as much done as wanted, life keeps getting in the way tonight i was given a lecture on the east/west orientation of churches, and what side the access to doors should be in relation to that , lots to learn, but if you read/trust wikki churches were built/rebuilt in what ever space was given to the building not sure if i should redo the walls now or just do better on the next unit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orientation_of_churches

good morning everyone i asked for honest opinions, so have taken the build back to try and sort the problems, i was quite happy with the church sides, the tower really bugged me, so at present the roof was removed and tower taken down, as for the spire, well you wont see that again what i do like about this material, is that most of it is salvageable,, being ceramic stuck to paper with PVA glue the adhesive and paper dissolve in warm water leaving minimum clean up on the bricks which are reusable , lol depending how much they were sanded what went wrong the tower was ok up to the apex of the roof, with a combination of the apex and the bell window openings everything got bunched up, i started then to patch it up, hence the earthquake look what i should have done was brick the tower separately yes i do make work for my self, anyone who follows my logs know that, but, i dont want 15 fully built churches i want to try and get the first one looking better lessons learnt (and yes all the same as boat building) yes its a simple church, but still need to draw some basic scale plans, and don't add bits half way through draw straight lines on the paper to keep bricks in line look at photos to see how they were built sand each layer,

i joined a FB site medieval Buildings Group, and if i understand it right they might have been added at a much later date, But i am unsure about what date my village will be set in,
-
Agreed, it looks a bit naff in places, mainly the top 1/3 of the tower i dont like the spire at all so im thinking to remove it take the tower off at roof apex height and rebuild it moving the openings up and leave it as a flat roof
-
good evening everyone day 14 roof and spire can i have some honest opinions please, i am not correcting the damage on the tower, the diorama will have a story to it, the gable ends and roof apex will be sorted tomorrow
-

good evening everyone day 13 since restart at 1/87 tower bricked, thank you for comments and like well the roof went on, but far to early, i should have completed the tower before that, but instead i just cause more work for my self and carried on tower is now fully bricked, the damage to the tower corner in the great storm of 1314 is evident spire 50% complete, but dont know how im going to bring it to a point

Building a Medieval fortress - by Waitoa - Del Prado 1/87

i will have to scratch everything, but i can get a rough idea by counting the amount of bricks to get the length and height, the pile of wet grass for your silage pile sounds interesting -
good evening everyone Day 11 since change of scale the Church of St Wilber the saint of lost model builders continues the windows are not had anything special done to then, just wanted to see how things could be done, and how things can be improved as i progress the colour in the glass is from chocolate wrappers 3 openings still to be done on the tower, a spire, door, arch way and the roof itself i have no where to put this at present, so will put it on a base at a later date
