    I built the Blair line church kit.

    I started it two days ago.... [​IMG]
    It's a rather good kit, but the roof material sucked. I replaced it with Campbell shingles instead.

    The lack of a bell bothered me, but I solved it by 3D printing a bell and fastener.

    I weathered it by painting white acrylic over stained wood that I had soaked with mineral spirits.

    The roof is painted tan and then I brushed on burnt umber oil paint that I wiped of while wet.

    The windows turned out really good with the stained glass plastic.

    Very nice! Any plans to illuminate from inside to showcase the stained glass? Nice job on the bell as well - fits perfectly with the structure.

    Great job on the weathered siding! This building reminds me somewhat of my childhood and the church in our town.
