This my attempt to create a birdhouse that resembles The Church of the Cross in Bluffton, South Carolina. It’s a landmark for tourists who visit Bluffton, and I’ll gift it to my dad on his birthday. This project is a combination of 3D printed parts and laser cut plywood. I modeled this in Illustrator and Fusion 360. I’m happy with the results.

Wow!!! This is amazing!!! Such a wonderful project and gift!
Is the roof all one piece? That is a great combination of tools/materials. And the colors won’t fade as easily if they are plastic and not paint!
That turned out amazing! He will love it!
This is beautiful. What a cool project! You’re dad is going to treasure it, and the birds are going to love it!
Love the detail! Nice!
This is another phenomenal work of art! So amazing! Thank you for sharing!! The roof work is pretty neat.
A beautiful likeness. Thanks for sharing. Do you wonder if birds compare the houses they can find in their area and what criteria do they use to choose the one to live in?
That’s beautiful! lucky birds! 
I bet he’s going to absolutely love it.
@rappee25407 Maybe! 
Sometimes they seem to fight over them.
That turned out fantastic! What kind of birds will use it, bluebirds? Just guessing because of the size of the hole and how high up it is. Love the little clean-out door. 
I made the hole 1.25" which will accommodate many small birds. Who knows who will move in.
Fun!
This is a beautiful gift for you dad. It is so well designed and executed! Kudos!
This is my favorite of all your awesome birdhouses!
They are both gorgeous, the original and the birdhouse.
Love it!
That is so cool to see your model next to the real thing. Were you able to show it to anyone at the real church? They would be amazed!
