Potala Palace - Canon

I faced Canon's big boy during this last week, it took exactly 7 days to finish it. Aside from some little problems during the building, I'm still very happy by how it turned out, considering the complexity of the model and the size of the pieces from Parts A/B/C/E.

Cheers,

Gregory

That's a lot of work for seven days!

I made that model a few years ago but printed two of their PDFs to one of mine - it saves a lot of paper and space but makes it more complicated.

I can appreciate the time and effort you took to make a great model

Cheers
Mike

That looks nice and big and complicated. Good job on the quick build.
Looked at the files and noticed the intructions are 45 pages long.

Forgot to mention the final size on the first post:
Length: 49.5 cm or 19.48 inches
Depth: 40 cm or 15.74 inches
Also, forgot to say that I highly recommend this model to any expirienced modeler that's looking for a challenge.

Cheers,

Gregory

The building progress itself went so smooth that I didn't felt overwhelmed by the number of instruction pages, I did the first 3 pages on Sunday(9), and and just last Friday(14) I was on page 37, considering I worked in the model every day.

Cheers,

Gregory

Thanks for posting. Something like that would have taken me 7 MONTHS...at least.

Quite a large project! Awesome!
I like the "city" at the base of the hill.
