I do want to add corbels to the church and will at some point. It does need belt courses just not sure how to do them on the church. I don’t know what water tables are, I looked them up and I am sure what came up was not what you’re talking about 
Mark, take a look here.

Ah, the eighties! Best line ever from some movie. “He has an 8track player, but a one track mind”.
And if you’re dragon your feet for the finial countdown…
How about dragoning your roof too?
Or maybe something more merican?

They are just fancy ridge caps/crestings and possibly a downspout. Honestly Bill judging by your layout you seem like you are a Japanese water chain guy yourself. I don’t roll that way but I think I would like to try it just once in an inconspicuous place of my house.
That make sense?
If we got regular rain I’d want a grotesque downspout.
Desperately clinging on to my British colonial heritage, I hunted for a dragon smoke pot for our chimney too.
Rooster, here’s your link… https://www.rooffinial.co.uk/
Folks;
Of course, I suppose you know that the term gargoyle was created because the grotesque downspouts made a gargling noise as they dispensed water.

P.S. Like dragon figures too. This one rocks when the wind blows.

Don’t need no stinkin’ dragons on the house. Train 'em to be Gondor’s new air force!

Mark;
Sometimes the right stuff can just be recycled. My Loughbrau Trollish Punch still uses: plastic sparkling wine bottle tops, an old Crystal Lite aluminum container, 18 gage wire, a bendable plastic straw, and the wrapper from an Easter truffle.

Modeling this building the black and white is from the 1920-30s? The color picture is currant and the building is still in use.
The frame it is 38" long and 17" high, the original building is 82’ long.
I am trying plastic this time, fitting the brick with the window cut outs.
Windows and doors are in.
The roof over hang on the false front.

Awesome. How did you do the brick window arches? They look great.
I had an ambitions brick building project in mind for the MIK one year. It had some crazy brick detail work. I was able to draw it up in CAD, but never fugured out how to execute the brick work. I’m assuming the straight brick is embossed sheets, like Precision Products. Looks like you grouted it too. Nice.

I used Adam’s details from Ozark Miniatures. The brick I primed and then with a small paint roller I rolled on the brick red, need to keep the roller kind of dry or the paint runs where it’s not wanted. I like the brick sheets from Ozarks better, the brick is embossed deeper, bigger sheets and better price at Ozarks.
