Basilica di Sant'Ambrogio
Hi all
After my last effort (see my previous posting on Notre Dame) and being enthused for having completed quite a 'difficult' model, I searched out, as it happens, another Domus pre-cut kit. This time I wanted something relatively simple and which I could complete within a week. So here it is : Basilica di Sant'Ambrogio in Milan. This one took about 15 hours and was real fun. A few adjustments, a lot of head-scratching around the fit of certain parts and a lot of Internet searching to find pictures (Cooliris came up with the goods). I know I'm ducking the 'beast' - a half-finished model of HMV's Seatrout - but it is really good for the soul to have another finished model on your table. Happy modelling out there.

That looks really great. I've been anxious to get into some architectural models and after I saw your pictures of Notre Dame I bought it and another Domus model from a great book seller on eBay. In reading your post I missed the fact that they were pre-cut, so I was pretty surprised when I saw that. But nevertheless I'm looking forward to building it.

Don't let that put you off - you'll still be cutting! Have a read of Mike Stamper's post if you haven't already seen it - good advice.
I recommend you check out AbeBooks. com. There's more. Good luck.

Though not a fan of pre-cut models, (I know how difficult it is to cut within a kerf) I really like this one!
