Hi all,
let me introduce my newly finished sideproject, a rotunda from Holubice, Czech republic. The model comes from czech ABC magazine (two weeks old issue); it was designed by Ondra Hejl and it was his first work published in this magazine. The scale is 1:150, so it's not very large - which corresponds with 1 and 1/2 of A4 pages of parts. The design was really good, with exceptional texturing - Ondra does the painting on computer, but with great care - he says he paints every single stone or brick one by one, which gives the model naturally fine look. The only weakness of this "kit" was the paper it was printed on - it's too thin and i'd recommend reinforcing it with 80 g/m2 paper before building (i didn't do it and i had some problems due to this mistake).
All around, it was a real pleasure to build it and it was a nice relaxation from my damn slowly progressing Hurri...
And now the pictures:
