Hi all,

Some of you may already know about these wonderful models by 'Secanda' at

[Secanda] Welcome among the paper models

He has just finished and made available for download a model of the Church of
Ste-Mère-Eglise. This is the church made famous by the paratrooper who landed on the roof and got snagged on a spire for several hours on D-Day. See the 'Longest Day' movie. A beautiful model in 1/100 scale and it's free.
A major thank you to Secanda for his skill and generosity.

Wyatt

P.S. I also thank our friend in Brazil 'PaperMau' for his previous post that led me to Secanda's site.

Thankls to Secanda for these fine models! Especially the last one. Like many I visisted it a few years ago and love the Longest Day-movi.

Thanks, Wyatt. They are such lovely models.

Your welcome folks, glad to pass it along.
Philip, if I'm correct, you've built a few already judging by your Flickr page. You've done some seriously nice builds.
There are two models by Secanda that are one page models;
Capela San Miguel de Celanova, built in 940 AD and
Chapelle Sainte-Agathe de Langon.

Simple, low parts count and fit in the palm of your hand. Enjoy!

These look like fine paper models. I, too, have visited Sainte-Mère-Église (and have made a few parachute jumps at the St Sainte-Mère-Église Drop Zone at Fort Bragg, North Caroline).

Thanks for sharing this find.
