The mdf church I designed & painted:
Slightly annoyingly, the little chap with the laser cutter, assembled it. This meant it was too difficult to install "stained glass".
A reasonable effort that will appear from my ECW games to WW2.

No fist icon or half naked ladies and I hope one of the windows is starfleet emblem.

I am led to believe that the northern English also once used the word "kirk" for a place of worship.
Shame on you two Northerners for selling out to those from London & their ilk.

All the Nationalists who insist that it's "Kirk" with two hard K's are unwittingly supporting an Anglicisation of the word which is always quite humourous
In old Scots a K is pronounced as a "ch" so "Kirk" is how the word pronounced "Church" was written.

Very nice church, though I was expecting to see a certain star ship captain

More pertinently, I have gutters & downpipes (salvaged from elsewhere) I was going to put on the model - & still can.
But I thought it made the building look modernised. When did guttering come into vogue?
