Cathedral of german town Magdeburg

[maydayartist]

Hello friends,

it is a long time since my last upload.

I´m now working for the german LCP and this is very strange situation because of building the whole day at work.

My private time for our hobby is nearly zero but that´s not really a problem.

Many of our projects are special work for our customer therefore I can´t publish this here.

One of them is done and now stored in a box so I can publish it here.

The cathedral of Magdeburg

Facts of the cathedral:

pieces: about 30.000 (rough estimate)

building time: 14 days

scale: 1:60

height: 1,65m / 104m (the real north tower)

length: 2m

width: 0,8m

The original was only given by pictures from the internet. Now (after the build) I could visit it live and take some pictures, see below.

The cathedral is for sale, pm me.

And here are the pictures

When you say built time 14 days, I suppose you amde some sort of instructions? Anyway massive model and love the texture.

Stunning! What a fantastic representation of the original. The scale is truly impressive also. Can you talk a little bit about the process you used to approach such a daunting build?

[GmaBlu]

Oh my goodness! I am in love- the colors, the sheer size. and in 14 days, WOW!

That is an amazing build maydayartist! I couldn't imagine designing/building that in a in two weeks. It took me a month to build a 1:60ish scale of a truck! This is a really stunning MOC, well done

[XeniK]

Wow that's really incredibuild!

[ArchitectureFan]

Great!

I have seen the Dome of Cologne (in gray), which is fantastic, but this is equally amazing (in tan!).

[BricksMcgee]

Nice work! Doorway detailing is stunning.

Have you seen Durham Cathedral in Lego (community effort, but another gothic cathedral!)? Quite a few photos on the Facebook page of progress.

[Man with a hat]

Wow, this is amazing. It's huge and with so many details and the proportions are perfect.

Phenomenal build! The size is spectacular and the texturing is the cherry on top.
