Wow! What a find. I've got my eye on the 1898 Water Tower. (Now if only I could read German.)

translate.google.com works wonders, and the translation is very good

Thanks for the tip, I know this sounds dumb but I had not bothered to use Google translate for German for years and years because when I tried it years ago, it worked OK for French and Spanish, but the German translations were almost as bizarre as the translations from Japanese. I never thought that Google would be trying to improve the program and never used it on German again.
I read your advice, tried Google Translate on a oouple of German pages, and see that it now work great.
Thanks for the prod. I have an couple of academic German book (history) with pages I want to translate, that I will give another try. The problem is that it is an old book written in Gothic script, I will have to search the internet and see if anyone has issued a downloadable reprint in modern script that I can OCR.

PS While Google translate still has problems with Japanese to English, the translatons are getting better, but on the downside, they are not as strange and enteraining as they used to be.

With a spritz of black ink from an airbrush, or a dusting of charcoal dust or black chalk dust or artist pastel stick scrapings, and a few scraps of broken balsa wood, the ruined church would make a back drop for a WW1 or WW2 setting.
The models at weidiul.de have enough resolution to upscale well to 1/87 or 1/72. Paintnet can be used to upsize the pages and crop the pages, and also in my area there is a copy shop that can resize and color print at an affordable per page rate.
One of Wayne's McCulough's WW1 tanks (404 Not Found airbrush weathering would look good next to the church ruins. Start now, and there is just enough time to have it completed for the next show in Virginia.
If the image resolution of the ruined church holds up when enlarged to 1/25, there would be possibilities to use it with commercial 1/25 Polish models.

John,

Nice find.

Google Translate is no longer the dictionary puzzle that it once was. The following story tells why;

Great looking model, certainly looks a good base for a WW11 diorama.

I had 12 of their Previous Models
Sad that the newest 5 are only in 1/160 N scale
The others are in 1/87 HO and even 1/48 O scales
depending on the model

I guess I need to watch them for new updates

This one #17 can also been done as Under Construction
or Storm Damaged too
I am thinking Construction myself
