VDK San Andreas Church

vester · February 23, 2007, 05:54:37 AM

I have started a new project.

Its base on a small rural church. Well in fact the second smallest in Denmark: Kornerup Kirke.

The church is building some where between 1100-1200.

The church is consecrated to San Andreas, that is where the name for the SC version comes from.

This looks rather quaint!

I like it! Well done thus far!

Like it. Will be great for any rural community/ smaller town... can't wait to see further progress!

That is one cute little church.

How many can squeeze in there?

The tower looks just a tiny little bit too small. You might want to increase its size just a fraction (probably both the width and the height).

Great looking church!

I like the model that you have chosen, not too complicated, yet with full of history.

Nice rural church to model. Will be a challenge to texture and weather this one, since the white walls and red steeple are so bright in reality...

That is a cute church, that will fit very will in rural villages... I suppose there is a little cemetary around it as well?

metasmurf · February 25, 2007, 10:27:49 AM

Oh, i adore this one.

Thanks for all your comments. Please keep them coming.
Here is a quick update. Still not textures on it, just change the colors of the different parts.

Still need to add windows and doors, and a few other minor things.

This will be great in our small cities and rural areas. Much needed.

On a historical/architectural note...I don't know much about the spread of Christianity in this part of the world, but it is interesting to see that the church is not built in the shape of a cross like you see through much of the middle and southern Europe. Does anyone have a cultural reason why that is?

This is a great model! I am going to love having it!

Great changing of the colours! Great progress!

Cali · February 28, 2007, 04:18:15 PM

Yet another quick update:

oldrogue · March 01, 2007, 03:22:05 PM

Very nice, I know that I will certainly be using that one as soon as it comes out....

Joel, that is a great question, hope somebody has the answer

Well if you look at the churches in Denmark, they all have (the old ones at least) the tower (if any) toward the west and the choir toward the east. Then most have a porch (translated from Danish: weapon house) toward the south. Have no idea why this is.
