Family Fun Project: A Church Model Out of Paper - A Vintage Papercraft Preserved And Shared by Plush Possum Studio

Rose McGuinn is a designer and collector and also the author of the Plush Possum Studio website. She creates, preserves, and kindly shares, dress-up paper dolls, paper templates and scrapbook designs. 

In addition to sharing the plans to build this beautiful little church, Rose also "cleaned up" the original templates. The restored and the original templates can be downloaded from the link at the end of this post. 

There is no information about the model, but based just on the style, I believe it was originally published around a hundred years ago. 

If you pay attention to the templates, you will see that the model has a minimalist interior, with a small altar in the chapel and in the main nave, some columns. I think it will be useful for RPG and Wargame folks who like to customize things.

Além de compartilhar os planos para montar essa bela igrejinha, Rose também "limpou" os templates originais. Os templates restaurados e os originais podem ser baixados no link no final desta postagem. 

Não há informações sobre o modelo, mas baseando-me apenas no estilo, eu creio que foi originalmente publicado por volta de cem anos atrás. Se você prestar atenção nos templates, verá que o modelo tem um interior minimalista, com um pequeno altar na capela e na nave principal, algumas colunas. 

Eu creio que será útil para o pessoal do RPG e Wargame que gosta de personalizar as coisas.

  1. This project looks very much like another one from an old Mexican encyclopedia called "Nueva Enciclopedia Temática" published about 1981. I have got the volume with the church project and some similar projects for a "miniature city" -several types of houses, shops, a tiny school, a grand hotel and so on.

    1. Hello friend, thanks for the info.

      I believe that these very old models, as they no longer have copyrights, are used in many parts of the world, with slight alterations.

    2. My pleasure.
      I wish I could send the models that I have in the book that I have already mentioned to you. The directions are in Spanish. I think that they might be in a scale about 1/100, but the directions say that you must amplify them by 2 or 4 (it depends on the project) to build them. So I think that they might be conceived for a 1/50 scale. But with the right changes you could get any scale that you wanted, included HO, N and so on.
