I thought it would be fun to make my Rupert Cordeaux's model of Lincoln Cathedral, and take photos of the model to show. I stopped work on the Escorial and began Lincoln Cathedral, but I did not finish in time. In fact, I just finished it yesterday.
This is a very large model – measuring 20 x 29". It was printed on tan paper, and I used brown and tan colored pencils to highlight around the windows and doors. As are all of Rupert's models, it is very detailed and quite beautiful.
I had a slight problem with three parts (see photo). These parts are not shown on any of the detailed drawings nor their numbers match other parts. They must belong but I sure don't know where. If anyone has built this model, please let me know where they go – that includes you, Rupert :-).
Now I returning to the Escorial model, and its 433 tiny dormers. I do have a threat already on Escorial - have a look.

Damn. I think T Eichmann's right. He is cleverer than I. shows how long it is since I made this one. Even my dad saw the start of this and its twenty four years since he died.
