Before getting into woodwork, Matt was into model trains and in Cowra he had a big layout in his shed. He built several buildings to go on the layout and this is the church.
Made mostly from craftwood, toothpicks and cardboard the detail is quite remarkable.
The "stone" walls were googled and then printed on A4 paper. The shingles on the roof were hand cut in strips and glued on painstakingly one at a time.
He then hand painted some acetate to make stained glass windows.
Now this photo shows Matt putting the finishing touches to a row of terrace houses for his train layout. They were made in a similar manner to the church from craftwood and other bits and pieces.
He has made several other models which I will have to photograph for this site including a model of our Cowra house and one of his parents house in Mudgee. Lots of detail and they all took lots of time to make.
Whose a clever boy then?
