I think the same when watching at the detailed construction process. :drool: :drool: :drool:

But the result is worth it, Egbert. :love: :love: :love:

Very good looking building. The door is great, really looks like old wood in a dry environment. And the stone stairs are amazing.

I'm thinking maybe Clint Eastwood too.

Thank you all very much for your great comments.

[i]So that the church bells can ring at Easter
... and the cross for the church roof. ;)

Egbert.

That bell is wonderful.

Conversions, buildings and now foundrywork.

You are a man of many talents.

Best wishes,

Happy Easter! My first idea was that the bell comes from a "Lind-Hase"? But it is wrong. :mrgreen:

The more facts I gather, the further away from the answer I get. But it is very nice to see the progress.

Thanks my friends for your nice comments! :-D

Next, I integrated the stairs into the terrain.
Then I sprayed the model with heavily thinned white glue and sprinkled with sieved clay.
The whole thing was then glazed with different shades of tinting paint wet on wet.

Egbert,
the stairs remind a bit the Aztec or Maya temples. Steep and wide.
When you climb up you feel ever as small and subdued. The might of the holy.
Beautiful

This fantastic project goes on since 22 February, and I have never commented anything – that’s a shame!
On the other hand, what could I say about such a project that simply makes you speechless … a single word summarizes it all: WOW!
