I’ve started a somewhat ambitious project (well, ambitious for me at least
). In 2020, my wife and I will be joining 70+ other folks from our Lutheran church in North Carolina, USA on a trip to Germany, where we will visit various sites relevant to the life of Martin Luther and the Reformation. We’ll conclude our trip by attending the famous Passion Play in Oberammergau. In honor of/preparation for this trip, I’ll be building several models of some of the landmarks we’ll visit.
It’s an interesting undertaking for me, as my architectural modeling experience has thus far been limited to Micromodels and Minibox— so much smaller buildings!
First up is All Saints’ Church in Wittenberg, also known as Castle Church (Schlosskirche). On October 31, 1517, Luther posted his 95 Thesis on the door of the Castle Church, and this event is widely considered as the catalyst for the Protestant Reformation. This is the 1:200 kit from Schreiber.
