Wonderful way of documenting the history and building these old structures. Always nice work.
I see you made some modifications to the kit. Perhaps you are only one or two steps away from "scratch building" something? Mike |

TO: Michael Mash
thanx, unfortunately I don't have much time for my own things... I walk past several crosses every day, so hopefully one day I will get around to building such a local monument... Easter week has started for us, so I will put together a few models with this theme, the first one is: Church above Calvary Oščadnica (Slovakia) Scale: 1:150 Author : E.Drahošanová, O.Hejl The Church above Calvary was built in the same way as Calvary, at the request of the Oščadnica believers. By November 1947 the church was on display and by June 1948 the interior of the church was completed. Architect Anton Medrický donated a gilded painting of the Virgin Mary and Jesus to the church. Just like Calvary, the church above it was built exclusively from the donations of self-sacrificing parishioners, natives, workers and brothers and sisters living in the USA. Thanks also go to the Oščadnice volunteer fire department, which supplied water from the stream to the church during the entire construction, and thus greatly helped and facilitated the work on the construction site. Three large wooden crosses stand out in front of the church. The cross in the center is the highest. The consecration of Calvary, crosses and the church above Calvary took place on August 15, 1948 in the presence of 20,000 pilgrims. My edits: This little church has a nice hand drawing, I built it without modifications, I just added a simple mat, probably the most work was carving the cross... |

Church on Calvary in Zákamenny (Slovakia)
Scale: 1:100 Author : Mgr. Juraj Gonšor Source: Vystrihovačky (Green book), Perfekt Calvary in Zákamenny consists of a group of fourteen Stations of the Cross with a larger central chapel of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, which has a horseshoe-shaped plan. It has a wooden bell tower. In 1925, a bell made by a Czech company was installed in it. Next to the central chapel there are two smaller chapels. In one of them is the Holy Sepulcher. The second chapel is the chapel of St. Helena. Calvary was built in the middle of the 19th century. My edits: I started building this church during Easter, I built it from the original from the Green Book, while the paper is a little thinner than I'm used to, so it went slower... I didn't do much editing, I just put a bell in the tower, added the terrain behind the cross and figures of a priest and ministers (made from standard figures) and a cross and candlesticks on the table. |
