Temple of Time

Drawing inspiration from Kylemore Abbey in Ireland, and the Legend of Zelda series of video games, this is my version of the Temple of Time.
Mostly built to fit in my village, it would also be suitable for both fantasy, historic, or even modern wargames settings. This project was started last November, and worked on here and there between then and now. I stopped work on it around Christmas, and picked it back up in the spring, only to stop again to focus on other projects. I wavered a bit on the design and how I would actually carry it out, which is why it took so lng to get into motion. Mostly I didn\'t know how to do the windows, and wasn\'t happy with the design of the actual building, which changed several times. Eventually I nailed down what I wanted, and am quite happy with the results.

The whole of the building was carved from Pink foam. A little bit was blue foam.

As I keep adding pieces, it becomes harder and harder to do. This pic was of everything before the chruch.

That\'s just impressive - going to have a look through the WIP later. One question: does the WIP contain anything on how you build up the ground - as in dirt, gravel, plants etc.?
