Does anyone have some good referance pics of the bell tower in this movie? I seemed to have lost my copy and am wanting to make a bell tower based off of this one.
Any help would be great.

Hi Chris

Have you got DVD playing facility on your PC. If so either buy or hire the film and play it on your PC.

If you get to the frames showing the scenes with the bell tower, pause the film and press

Ctrl, Alt and Print Screen together.

If you then click

Start and find Accessories

Scroll down to Paint

When it opens

Click Edit and then Paste

This will give you a stills image that you could work to from whatever angle you can get from the film itself.

As long as it is for your own purposes and you do not display them on here I am sure you would not be done for Film copyright issues.

Hope that helps.

How about a different approach and building it as a 'Box-type' diorama - showing the inside of the tower? Anything more would be pretty impractical...

Thanks for the help guys! Pat that is just what im looking for, thanks! Jim, im actually not going to build the whole tower, I was needing the top and some of the side detail shots. I do like the sounds of the inside of the tower.....might put that in my thinking cap!

Thanks again!
