Thank you for the compliments. The church steeple is built up with a cardboard skeleton included (as templates) in the papercraft kit. It is made of a horizontal octagonal base and a vertical crosspiece in the shape of the steeple. Then four more "ribs" are glued into the corners of the crosspiece. And then the tile-print paper pieces are glued over the "ribs".

It is a process that requires more papercraft skills than I possess, not in the least because the kit is quite small. I botched up the first attempt and simply glued another print of tile paper over the first layer to cover up my failures. :-[ I also ommited a number of smaller details like chimneys and roof windows that looked intimidatingly fiddly....

But for freely downloadable kits they are magnificent models

Nice work Pijlie, paper kits are often under rated, yours are good examples of what can be done 8)

Cheers,
