Abbey church completed ...

It's taken me some time but I finally finished and settled on how to use my Pegasus gothic building sets (see here for initial build attempts). I ended up with a small abbey church. I made up some half pieces from 3mm mdf to create side aisles. Roofs are of cardboard/mdf and are removable.

I sprayed the whole thing up using Painters Touch Fossil spray paint, trial assembly of sections on basic base - 3mm mdf, card stand for abbey and cut up Citadel gaming mat for grass surround.
Interior of abbey paved using printed paper sheet and exterior flagstones marked out a using pencil ....
All assembled ....
One side aisle is removable (plus all roofs and second story) allowing for placing figs in the interior

Gosh I wish this could be beamed to Gallia for a photo shoot. Afterwards we would put it on our transporter system and beam it back. Outstanding!!!
Respectfully,

I really enjoyed the modelling challenge, and am pleased how ell it turned out.

I'm thinking of add a cloister of sorts - perhaps then it'll be time for Brother James to pay a visit ?

A fine venue for royal weddings...

That is a beautiful model! I want to build a Gothic style monastary for my Dark Ages games but I have no actual modelling talent.

Gorgeous. Did you have a use in mind that inspired you? Can't wait to see it in use.

I must admit to seeing the Pegasus sets and taking a fancy to them. I like church architecture as well - so I couldm't resist the temptation and assumed I would find a use for the finished item.

So far I can use it for posing figs for pictures, 18C interiors with my personlaity figs, use in skirmish games for my 40mm's (ECW/18C), maybe for my WWII stuff as well - we shall see !
