This is one of the original series of churches and cathedrals designed and published by Rupert Chicken (now Cordeux). Like all his designs, it was presented as hand-drawn pen and ink drawings on A3 sheets of coloured card, together with assembly diagrams and brief instructions.
The original scale is 1:240, but I scanned the sheets and rescaled them to 1:600 to match my other cathedral models. Some work had to be done to remove distortions resulting from this process, but nothing very serious. A lot of small parts had to have their construction method modified, to allow for my tiny scale, but all retain their original artwork.
I understand that Rupert is now dissatisfied with this model, and is now considering redesigning it. It still makes a pleasing representation, if not up to his high standards.
