Iglesia de Cerro Grande
Just made some modifications to my Church.  I removed the deformed top and replaced it with a better dome.  I was lucky enough to find a discarded plastic Easter egg.  What I did was drill a hole in the top where the cross would be fitted eventually.  I then covered the egg half with masking tape and three coats of spackle.  Once the spackle was dry enough I sanded down the high spots and found I need to drill the hole larger.  The cross is made from 1/4" balsa and notched on either side.  I also used a pencil sharpener to round out the bottom so it would fit snugly into the egg.  Once everything was glued in place I primed black and repainted this piece.  I decided to change the color of the cross so it would stand out.  As you can see in the second picture the top is removed and reveals a dice tower.  I just need to buy a bell to go into the tower and this will be all set.

I'd definitely check out craft stores for that bell.
Nice work.

Hey, Chris I didn't even notice anyone was making comments. They have some cheap ones on Ebay as resources here suck.
