Krakow Cathedral - GPM - 1/200

[ricleite]

The other floors are more of the same. Some parts are still missing, both at the floor junctions and to embellish the lower floor. I’ll deal with them later.

The kit includes a bunch of buildings annex to the cathedral. The pictures show the biggest of them. It has just two walls, with many windows and a triangular section embellishment at middle height.

The triangular shaped embellishment surrounds almost all the building, and not always at the same height. Each section is formed by a single part, with no gluing tabs. I decided to make small paper prisms and glue them to the walls before applying the kit’s parts. This way, they serve both as a gluing surface and as a template. It becomes easy to achieve pleasing angle uniformity for all those parts and I’m not complaining about the extra time spent on measuring and making the prisms.

This model is really looking good.

Love all your detailed photos and building procedures. Great tips!

Ricleite, your methods are comprehensive and precise, and the results appear to be very sturdy - no bad thing in a detailed model such as this! A pleasure to see it coming together!

Hi Ricardo,

excellent work on the walls and windows. It looks wonderful.

Thanks for the comments

@ Bernoullis - On this model, I find it necessary to make parts that could well come with the kit, which already has 800! Making a big model suitably sturdy, as you say, is convenient. However, most of the card bits I add are there to fix an angle or a shape. I am more interested in the “template” function but extra strength comes as a welcome “plus”.

The same prism method served for the base of the right tower and I intend to apply it in all other similar cases.

Nicely done. A terrific project.

Thanks, Mike

In both towers, each floor is slightly smaller than the one below. The transition is made with triangular parts similar to the wall embellishments and I applied the same prism method to ease assembly.
