I think Köln Dom will be a little too big for your yard, but its good to dream big

I'll email the small chapel plans to you tomorrow - I was originally happy to post them here back in the day so long as the whole pdf was posted with the copyright for my design work on the front page - but then I caught somebody on another forum cutting and pasting screen shots into his own document, trying to pass them off as his own clubs work and that soured it for me...

Foy Church after the battle: http://up.picr.de/3397583.jpg - I believe the original photo was US army signal corps, and therefore public domain...
When I was about 8 years old my Mom took me to the cathedral in Köln, and it made a life long impression on me. At that time there were still plain brick repairs where the bullet scars had been, but I understand it's now been completely restored. What a magnificent achievement that building is. It's very rare that a piece of architecture can actually evoke a feeling deep in my chest, but that place looked like magic to my eight year old eyes and I distinctly remember to this day the awe I felt when I looked up at all that majesty.

I really appreciate the offer of the plans. I won't misuse them or provide them to anyone else without asking you first. One of these days I may have a crack at something like the Foy Church. That would make a great addition to any battlefield. You can email me at [email protected] and I'll give you my primary email to send the plans to. I don't post the primary email address publicly, for reasons I'm sure you can relate to ( ), but the gmail account is a throw away and I usually only check it in cases like this so I'll be watching for your email.
