Architecturals Models of GPM

Hi all,

though having not much time for building, I found enough time to buy some nice models to be build in the next years
At first I want to show some architectural models of polish manufacturer GPM.

First model is the little church of Jaszczurowka, that's a small chapel in a part of Zakopane. Zakopane is the best-known polish town for skiing, lying in the Tatra Mountains in Southern Poland. The chapel is made completely of wood and built in the unique style of the polish Tatra.

Greetings
Dieter

Chapel of Jaszczurowka GPM

The Kit of GPM contains 8 pages in size DIN A4, the scale is 1:100. The textures look nice, it's an easy construction and I think it will look really good in the end.

I add some pictures of the chapel from my last visit in Zakopane.

Greetings
Dieter

Castle of Niedzica GPM

The next one is the castle of Niedzica. The oldest parts of this castle were built in 1325, it lies at the river Dunajec in the Pieniny Mountains in South Poland. The river Dunajec was changed into a reservoir by a damm built in the 1980s beneath the castle.

The model from GPM comes with 8 pages of cardboard, 4 pages of construction and some pages for pictures and instructions (in polish language only).

Castle of Niedzica GPM

The size of the model will be ca. 30cm x 40cm, the scale is 1:250. Printing looks wery fine.

The castle of Niedzica can be visited, and there is still a tale of an old south-american inka-treasure, that should be hidden in its walls

Greetings
Dieter

The finished model will have a size of 60 x 25 cm and will be 41 cm high.

Church of Maria in Krakow GPM

There are 26 pages of parts, some have to be strengthened by cardboard. Construction diagrams and pictures of the model complete the kit. Written instructions are short and only in polish, history of the church is described in polish, too. The pages of the kit are sized 24 x 31 cm.

Church of Maria in Krakow GPM

The church of Maria is placed at the main marketplace in Krakow. Todays building was founded in 14th century. The higher spire was finished in 1478, the lower followed in 16th century. The main spire was used in medieval as lookout for fire and enemies. Still today a fireman plays every hour a melody on his trumpet from this tower called 'Hejnal Mariacki'.

The inside of the cathedral is equipped with artwork and goldsmith's art. The coloured windows give a wonderful light. The main treasure is a carved altar of Veith Stoß. This sculptor came 1477 to Krakow to realize the main altar for the church of Maria. The altar is made of wood, covered with gold, the figures are more than 2 m high, the complete altar has a hight of more than 8 m.

It's a nice detail of GPM's kit, that this altar is added as an extra part. Printing and paper look very good, there are fine details to see. The whole kit will be not easy to assemble, there many some small parts for an architectural model.

This will be a work for some long winter.

Best regards
Dieter

Nice looking collection of models. They should keep you busy for a while. The small part in architectural models always give me trouble.
