Cemetery and Church project

[rogergperkins]

After installing some spike tipped wrought iron fence elsewhere on my layout, I have decided to replace the
stone wall with the same type of fence. Plan still on drawing board.

Share your church/cemeteries with us.

I've been "dying" for a good set of head stones and "praying" for a nice 1700th century stone church kit......oh stop; someone had to use the bad joke......

I got a neat set of lasercut wood headstones ( which in N scale make out well for granite after a couple of india ink washes) from one of the laser cutting kit vendors at Timonium a year or so ago (Paws of a Bear as I recall).  I don't think he sells them, but was giving them away as a demonstrator of his cutting technology.  A few weeds, some tumble down fencing, and it's almost done as a relict Civil War cemetary.

W/S has a set of grave stones which I have purchased in duplicate.
The cemetery in my project already has graves.

American Archetype just released a set of cemetery details that look pretty neat.

I've got a cemetery scene to model on my Powerton corner, where the Milwaukee Road curves in a cut separating two cemeteries, so this was a welcome announcement for me.

Will try this link.  Products look nice.  Hope they do not charge half the price to ship;
shipping and handling is "killing me."

Folks,

I've been accumulating scenic materials to build a model cemetery for my new layout.

Purchasing them on the "lay-away plan."

I ordered the American Archetype set which is 96 pieces. Should take care of that detail with stone already in
the inventory.

"NOBODY dies on my layout!!  NOBODY!  You hear me?  That's an ORDER!"

Heck, there aren't even any people on my layout yet.   But there IS a church.  In fact there are 2 churches!  As a matter of fact, one of them was suggested by Roger Perkins himself!

Get to work!

I can laser engrave your family's names on the tombstones, well maybe only the ones you don't like But seriously, see the writing on David's headstones? I can have them read what you want them to say, within size allowances of course.

Roger, shipping is a fact of life....... or in this case death

Many church cemeteries had iron fences on top of walls surrounding the cemetery area , I guess that is for the shielding of the crying eyes . However I have never seen anybody buried in a church cemetery , and the dates on the tombstones were always from the 1800's or so . Maybe only knock down the wall forward of the church mid-point and make that just iron fence , and leave the rear stone wall with or without iron fence on top . It would imply a change over the years .

My layout is set in the 1940s.  Thus current 2013 standards and customs are not applicable.
I like the looks of the fence and have adequate fence to enclose the cemetery with a nice, ornate gate.
The 7 n-scale foot fence will be mounted on a 1 n-scale foot wall.
If I ever get the knack of installing lighting, this church would look great with interior lights; it is or was
Hallmark Christmas decoration intended to have a light installed.

Paul,

What did you do to remove the "Snow" on the church roof?
