Vatican (St. Peter's Basilica) - by Alan Rose in 1:350

From the series - The world at your feet - Build Your Own
I show here the model of St. Peter's Basilica by Alan Rose.
In 2011 I have already built this great model once.
Now the second attempt.

The building sheet is as always available from Alan Rose in
booklet form. The title is
"Build Your Own Vatican",
but the model only shows St. Peter's Basilica.

The components are spread over 24 pages.
In addition to notes on St. Peter's Basilica
photos of the original and a built model.
Exploded views and a very detailed
step by step building instructions in words and sketches help the model builder.

During a 2013 trip to Rome, I climbed inside the dome
up to the lantern. From there and from the roof of the cathedral
I took some photos, which I would like to include for comparison.

That's a very well made model Adolph.

If you want the rest of the Vatican you may be interested in finding the Micro Model version. Be warned It's very much smaller than the Rose kit ;-))

Cheers
Mike

Wow, it's great!
The walls look maybe simple but the roof was really a challenge and You made it brilliantly!
