If you or someone else from your Church is a member you have access to the material manuals. I'm sure that is what we used to make our maps!

I wish I could tell you where we bought these materials but I have no idea. We actually bought them from two different woodworkers which is why the scale and look of each is a little different. Are you a member of the national association? They have lists of woodworkers on the site. I'm sorry I can't help more!

Your blog has been a great source of information in communicating ideas and needs with church council members. Thank you!! I too am interested in where this was purchased. If this person is still producing these at this time, we would be interested in purchasing as well.

My friend told me to look up "making plaster dioramas" or "making plaster landscape" on youtube. I am amazed at what people can make and the videos have been so helpful. Thank you for such wonderful pictures, I will definitely be using these for inspiration when building my city.<br />AKmamaOf7https://www.blogger.com/profile/10167349040853234835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5405825214631920064.post-9853958045678469192013-04-05T18:24:20.604-04:002013-04-05T18:24:20.604-04:00Is there any chance I can be put in touch with the...Is there any chance I can be put in touch with the woman who made this? I have the task of building our city of Jerusalem for our atrium and I'm quite overwhelmed. I have already built all of the wooden pieces but the topographical map I have no idea how to build or how what sort of paint to use on it. I would like to ask for some basic instructions on that. If there is any way you or she could contact me my email is: anna at matsumail dot com. Thank you! We're trying to get it finished for Orthodox Pascha which is May 5th this year.AKmamaOf7https://www.blogger.com/profile/10167349040853234835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5405825214631920064.post-72520044383841644412011-09-10T12:03:11.744-04:002011-09-10T12:03:11.744-04:00@Doogie The children in your school sure are luck...@<a href="#c2036490716224168914" rel="nofollow">Doogie</a> The children in your school sure are lucky to have you! Best of luck with your city of Jerusalem material! We took the short cut of buying the unfinished wood, but our catechist, Lynn Winkelman, worked incredibly hard on it! She got a lot of help from a local train store! Material making is daunting but such a blessing!

I've already made the altar, sheepfold, cenacle, and puzzle map of Israel. As I write this, the paint on my topographic map of Israel is drying in the garage.
