This is a fairly old model that is 30 years old. The model came out again later with slightly modified colors, I was building the original version. I wanted to try how it would look next to the current architecture models... It has its limits, but if you put a little time into it, it can still be made into a pretty nice model...
This is what the author wrote about the model:
Baroque castle gardens and parks very often included small architecture - fountains, greenhouses, music pavilions, but also small chapels. They were often an integral part of the garden, which is why builders placed great emphasis on the integration of architecture into the natural environment. They were located in pleasant corners and, together with the surrounding trees or small lakes, they enhanced the impression of the entire castle area even more.
My edits:
I did not modify the model itself much, I used pin heads as decorative balls.
I modified the tower where I cut out the windows and added a bell, sanded the top from a skewer and added a cross. I printed the oval mats on a 3D printer, added some trees and grass and a few figures... But it still wanted to add some nice detail and so I started thinking about a carriage with horses... originally I wanted to make one of my own, but I remembered that Mr. Vyškovský had made a similar addition in his model of Vily z Petrovice, so I used the model of his carriage... It wasn't that easy to build, but somehow I did it... On the carriage, I modified just the wheels that I printed it on foil so that they were transparent... in the finale I added a harness for the horses and that would probably be all...
