Thanks again. I never knew there were so many companies making architectural models out of paper.

I once applied for a job at a couple of places that made railway models, but I was told it was a dying industry and nobody was hiring. I did apply to one or two places that made paper products but I didn't get any interviews. Fortunately, I'm retired now and don't have to worry about this anymore.

...you probably can't make a lot of money on it ... nowadays young people are more attracted to computers, mobile phones and game consoles ... models are still coming out, for example in Germany:
Schreiber-Bogen Card Modelling
in Slovakia and the Czech Republic there is more, for example here you can get a picture of what models are published and sold today:
https://www.betexa.cz/
but if you don't want to pay a lot of models, you can find them for free on the internet, for which the authors don't ask for money, you just need to print it out at home on a printer ...

Thanks for the links. It's interesting to know what's available.

I have plans for models I've designed and never got around to building. Nor do I have room in my apt. for more stuff. I have a couple of nice models from other sources that I've never gotten around to building, either.

I added a cross and made a pad. I originally planned a smaller mat, but when I saw the 2 trees in front of the chapel, I really liked it, so I enlarged it a bit to fit it there. Although they covered the chapel quite a bit, it looks quite nice. A few photos:

The bell tower is built in the oldest part of Marček and together with the wooden houses it creates an original locality of folk architecture. The building is brick from the beginning of the 19th century with a pyramidal roof. At the corner was a niche with a wooden statue of St. Florián - the patron saint of firefighters from the 18th century, which was stolen after 1989. Photo of the real building:

I cut the windows, added the bell, made a simple pad. A few photos:

Chapel of St. Cross, called Pustyňa (Starý Bohumín-Czech republic)

Scale : 1:87
Author : Tomáš Hrebík
Source : Vystřihovánky vTOM, free model

The chapel earned the popular name Pustyňa because of the hermitage, which grew up in 1756 in its immediate vicinity. It was built and inhabited by two Hermit hermits - brother Antonín and brother Felix from III. of the Order of St. Francis of Assisi. However, the order, which the two men entered, was abolished on the basis of an imperial decree in 1782, and with it all hermitages. The Bohumín one disappeared in the second half of the 19th century. - The chapel is listed. - The chapel and the land below it belong to the town of Bohumín, which had it repaired in 2012.
