Posted: Fri Oct 04, 2013 6:37 am
If your are interested into middle-age cathedrals, you will certainly know the great lady of Strasbourg : its marvelous cathedral.
If not, then have a look to wikipedia you will certainly be impressed by its very characteristic unique tower making this cathedral the highest present middle age building (it was the tallest in the world from 1647 to 1874).
(source Google map).
Last december, the ARTE TV channel diffused a very impressive documentary on the elevation of the cathedral and this gave me the idea to build it in an Architecture like style.
Virtually, it looks like this :
(LDView image).
The scale was rapidly defined with the 3 studs diameter for the rose window and the sand green slope bricks for the roof.
Some pictures of the great lady of Strasbourg made using 1323 parts :
Main façade and back :
North and South faces :
Aerial views :
A small video showing the building process step by step.
High resolution pictures can be viewed by clicking on the small ones or into my Flickr Album.
Hope you enjoy it
