So has anyone bought or used the Kibri Goppingen Church for use in Epic? I know they're pretty hard to get now, but I've got a line on a brand new one for $66 with shipping.

It looks nice and grimdark, so it should fit right in as a centerpiece, but I really have no clue as to the size. I'd like to hear a few opinions before I drop that much money...

Are you coming to the Epic event this weekend? I will have a FW Cathedral (or two O0 ) and model of Notre Dame de Paris which is roughly the same scale. The Notre Dame model is roughly the same height (slightly shorter) as the Kibri - just a guestimate from the pic. And for that money you could get a church in resin...

Cool - well, we'll take some pics of the Notre Dame and the Cathedral side by side and post them for educational purposes I suppose.

I once fell down some steps next to the Notre Dame. Impressive Gothic edifice, that's for sure.

And the lord said "I cast thee down to hell Satan!!" :D

That's a spiffy church. I really must look at getting one myself.

Try this:
http://www.amazon.com/Notre-Dame-Cathed ... pd_sim_t_7

Or
http://www.amazon.com/3D-Puzzle-Saint-P ... pd_sim_t_5


The latter is, of course, a 'new money/new religion' copy of Notre Dame (built in NYC). The upside: it's basically 1/300 scale.
