A couple of weeks ago I received my plans from Forest Street Designs. One of them was for a model of a Swiss Church. My wife decided that she would make it out of cardboard. She created the patterns for the shingles, walls etc. in PhotoShop, printed them and stuck them to the card board. The base is made from an old hand towel and the path from some sandy gravel that she picked up while we were walking the dog. The edges of the path are made from the larger bits of gravel that she sorted out from the rest. I may be biased but I think she did a brilliant job. Enclosed are a few pics please enjoy.
Cheers Elderly.

A big well done to your good lady, Elder.
The cardboard church has come up a treat.
It'd be a great model for starting a model railway.
Cheers, crowie

That's beautiful work. Always good to see something come to life when you are building it.
