There's so many beautiful things about this; I commend you. What I like are the SNOT windows (both stained glass and regular), the 1x1 cylinders used to make arches, the statues, and the use of the sand green HP rooftops. Truly a marvelous creation, and I can't wait to see the finished product.

Indeed, Sir! You rock!

Spectacular! A brilliant creation-even uncompleted. Thanks for posting these, I've been waiting for an update. The architecture is very well done. I can tell alot of thought has gone into this, not to mention sore fingers...

I could go on and on about all the great details, but I'll just leave it at MARVELOUS.

Spectacular indeed! And it comes in LEGOLAND park size

Amazing work - the only time I've seen building on such scale was in Minimundus (Austria). Accept my regards.

Wow!! Great work. This is amazing.
My only constructive criticism is that the quire is perhaps a little too short, maybe it would be better being one bay longer (but that'll mean more pieces!).
Are the towers going to be spires? What about the crossing - another tower??
This truely is spectacular and I can't wait to see the finished product!

beautiful! How do you have that many peices? Definetly an entry worthy of Brickfest.

This continues to take my breath away. I love seeing the unique architecture of churches in real life, I never would have thought I would enjoy seeing it just as much in LEGO form! You've done a fabulous job with this so far, it is a joy simply to view.

My favorite parts are the arches above the doors, the stained glass windows (take your pic, I like them all) and the rows of clips used as decoration. (Strangely enough that is the second time I've said that today. Perhaps I should go get some clips and stick them to my MOC to see if they help.

)

Hei Romão, I've seen now the Black Falcon's Fortress ( by DaveOhare01) kitchen, and why don't you do a kitchen for the monks? I now that they have them ( it's very sactisfactory to see them after a pilgrimage from Porto to Braga).

Small update on this project. I'm now working for lego in the UK, so I had to leave the cathedral back in Portugal, so in the next few months it won't progress much. The photos still suck though (I'm such an awful photographer).

That doesn't matter, we can still see that it's frickin' amazing

! Very nice, I love the use of the HP roofs (The addition on the tips puts less emphasis on the individual piece, which is a really good thing). But yeah it does suck you had to leave it behind.

Hoping for the best,

This is really amazing. It is too bad you can't work on it, but on the bright side, you're working for lego. There's too much to talk about. The windows are great, the spires are graceful, and I love the entrance archways. It's really something else.

Still uuber breathtaking! I will be eagerly waiting any progress, but hey you're working for LEGO, maybe you will be able to sneak some of our ideas into the heads there.

Wish you the best and like I said I can't wait for any more updates.
