An ACW church for the Peninsula battles

The next in my Seven Days battles American Civil War games requires a church... specifically the Apostolic Presbyterian, Evangelist, Ecumenical, Methodist, 3rd Coming, Dunker Church of Lower Williamsburg.

Being in Cyprus the option to just buy a model church isn't really viable.   The post service is a lottery, only about half the stuff people order actually arrives.    
I had no options but to have a go at a scratch build.  Cue the coffee stirrers...


A pretty straight forward build.

Removable roof, and the usual finger over the lens

Couldn't resist turning the steeple into a dice tower.

And added some graves for the boys to fight around.  Take away that steeple and it's a simple ACW weatherboard house.
Next step is the white coat and staining...
The church and dice tower

As a farmhouse...
The graveyard, fences and a sinister well...  I even have a bucket to add to that somewhere around here.  Looking good for Williamsburg
In situ on the table top, ready for the gallant defence of the 7th Virginia
