20mm Painted WW2 Scale Hornby Skaledale Church.

...bought with Amazon funds kindly donated by brother for birthday and is 00 scale, I always seem to have a church/temple for any period I game. This one reminds me of "The Eagle has Landed" and the attempt to kidnap Churchill, the gravestones are also from Hornby.

20mm nun and car for scale, it's a nice piece of kit (the roof being removable would have been nice though).

    Nice piece of work Angry. I like the car out front on the one shot. And "The Eagle Has Landed" was a brilliant film. Michael Caine, Robert Duvall and Donald Sutherland. I'm going to watch that again, thanks.

    That looks fantastic! Nice purchase, and I wasn't aware Amazon did this kind of stuff.

    Sweet looking Church. One of the Best War films of the 70's.

    Good buy.

    Nice looking model and one that works well with 28mm figures.

    Looks great, out of interest how do 28mm figures look next to it, I know they are a lot bigger than 20mm but if it's not to insane looking It would be an easy way for me to fill up the table.

    That's pretty awesome. I liked the tombstones.
    And see that freaking nun again? i told you she is up to something. Keep a close eye on her, she probably has an uzi under her dress.

    Very nice terrain; I really like pre-painted terrain - although it is more costly. These would look good for multiple periods. Best, Dean

    Pretty cool church. Isn't there any chance of removing the roof? Maybe by cutting?

    Beautiful work, excellently detailed. That's the kind of church that needs to be overrun with zombie miniatures. I promise that's a compliment.
