picture I guess the church is completely made out of wood. There is apparently no metal in it. Despite how totally metal it looks. A scale model would work well in a fantasy game as well as a historical one. Of course in the fantasy game the tiles would be made of dragon scales. |

There's a replica of that church at the Norwegian pavilion at Epcot in Florida. I hadn't seen photos of the original, but the copy is impressive. Wyatt |

Epoct is the first thing I thought of as well! Can't really go in the Epcot version, though the bakery next to it is pretty good. :-) |

Stave churches are pretty amazing things: link I'm not aware of a model of such a thing, but there IS a paper model of a Russian wooden church on the Canon Website: link It might be possible to scale that up and do something interesting with it. Doug |

That's the Stavkirch in Borgund, Norway. Went there in the 70s and it is quite impressive. The main columns are made from single tall trees. I've got a few pix on my Sir Peter site at: sirpeter.net/tmp/Stavkirch Or do a search on "Stave Churches of Norway" – there are tons of photos of several different churches. |

If you told me it was a GW Dwarf model I'd have believed you. |

When 900 years you reach, look this good, you will not. |

I would so buy a 28mm model of that. |

Russ, It's probably circa 1200. |
