Yet another silk purse - A Church for Cuspidor

As the last Plasticville kit was a success I scanned Ebay for any others available in the UK and I found what they marketed as a cathedral.  Seeing as the USA  is  and certainly was in the 30s, a rather devout country, unlike here where we've moved away from religion quite extensively, I needed a church and didn't fancy scratchbuilding one.   So I bought it for £12.99  (around $16).  When it arrived I was very impressed with the quality of the castings, zero flash and minimal ejector stud marks and the really crisp moulding. Whoever did the original tooling made a fine job of it.  I was going to distress the stone surface but as this isn't an ancient structure and there is surface detail moulded in I decided not to bother.

The only toylike feature was a set of printed sticky vinyl "Stained glass windows" that looked like a psychedelic kaleidoscope display. They were dumped and I found some suitable pictures of the real thing on google images which i printed on paper and played about with sizing before printing on ohp transparency. I was very impressed with the results even though little of it will be seen.  I might add some interior lighting though and they might come into their own then.

New stained glass

I removed the molded on pips that located the window "glass".

Then I spray painted the walls with red auto primer and the roofs and sundries in grey. 

Then I started picking out the windows and recesses in grey acrylic.
