Very nice so far. I'm looking forward to the rest of this build. I remember seeing the L'Instant Durable kits the last time I was in France several years ago. I hadn't started cardmodeling yet, and ever since I've been kicking myself for not buying one or two of them.

Looks like it will be a very nice looking building. That company seems to offer some very good models.

Dear friends,

I see, you want more.......

The kit is indead nice, the print is very good, the paper is a bit glossy and everything fits so well.
But, in a special way it´s rather difficult. Because of the big parts and sections a small inaccuracy has tremendous consequences. ..........

O.K. guys here some further pictures.....

the roofs

Wow - that looks very challenging. Getting all those right angles lined up and avoiding any warping should be fun. It does not look like it has a lot of internal support or formers.

Specatcular! The printed graphics are so good that it looks like you built them individually like the way the wall taper in down to the doors - all those little printed details

Everything fits well, but its difficult to fit more than one right angle together...........I´m satisfied so far

Flu,

Unglaubliches Modell! I have seen only one cathedral in my lifetime (Kolner Dom), but Rheims would be a real treat. Will you make a little paper man to give it scale when finished?

Best for the holidays,
cbg
