Remaining buttresses and finishing
The front still need the buttresses and the pinnacles so I fold them and conenct them and add them to the cathedral.
Then I also add some docorative elements to the plate. |

Finishing Touches
When the build is finished I can add some decorative elements like bushes and stones and I also recreate the half destroyed cloister fromadditionally copied material from the cahtedral's nave.
Now the model is finished! |

Thomas - brilliant build and excellent landscaping - the base really adds to the model.
--------------------------- Rupert - very nice work. I especially like the last one - at a specific place? In November last I went to St Albans - what a mess in terms of their modern work and choice of paint. Internally everything was also obscured by piles of chairs, notice boards, coats stands, stored barriers - you name it. No thought that people may want to admire the building or actually look at its relics and artwork. In contrast, our visit to York Minster was a joy.

Robert, your spirited use of watercolour is truly inspiring, the three silver pieces and the church interior being my favorites in this brief gallery. Thank you for sharing these.

Rupert - I actually voiced my opinions there (St Albans), but they did not get it at all. Blank confused looks. They just do not seem to understand that someone may want to do something other than climb over their stuff and participate in their, largely, none religious activities!
The modern repairs and additions are shocking - no effort to blend in with what exists, coupled with the garish use of modern random colours. York was the exact opposite. Great care to preserve the architecture and art, as well as the feel of the place. I will post some pics somewhere to illustrate some of the aspects - but I don't want to hijack Tomas's thread!

Rupert Cordeux makes lovely models. I have just done Ely and York. The problem with the windows is that the tracery on the perpendicular and decorated windows simply won't work with a scalpel, so I had to limit it to the bottom windows. Acetate with felt pen worked very well for stained glass windows, I found. Also a good tip was an old leather belt on the desk so I could sharpen the scalpel!
And you do not need to electrify it. Just put it on a windowsill and the light streams through naturally. Well recommended. |

Good Grief! That is utterly amazing: I don't know how you have the patience: the finished result is mind-blowing.
