The Papal Visit

In honor of the historic papal visit of Pope Francis to the US, what better way than to appreciate the love of MINIS. These are but a few of the examples I found. It seems not only is the architecture a fascination to miniature artists; but, many have spiritual reasons to recreate the beautiful shrine.
Enjoy your day MINI friends; I wish you a day of joy and peace. Stop by and shop if there is anything you need shipped out before the weekend. ~judy www.justminiaturescale.com

This picture shows the inside of a scale model of the Sistine Chapel made by French retiree Jean Massa exhibited in a church in Nice, southeastern France. The work, on a 1:32 scale with a length of 1.45 metres (4.7 ft) and a height of 0.7 metres (2.3 ft), is made from wood and took around 5,000 hours to create. The Sistine Chapel is the best-known chapel in the Apostolic Palace, the official residence of the Pope in Vatican City.
