I am pleased to introduce you my latest Architecture MOC : Notre Dame de Paris

The model uses 2200 parts and the building process can be followed into

.

A building instruction and a file of the Bricklink inventory are available.

Finally, the model is nearly at the same scale as Notre Dame de Strasbourg

Really nice design and I love your solution for the flying buttress in this scale.

[Lasse]

Amazing MOC with many great details.

[PaddyBricksplitter]

Nice building skills. Captured well at this scale too.

[Off the wall]

I'd buy it. As a matter of fact, I'd buy more than one. Excellent work!

[Herky]

I agree, you have two very much ready to sell MOC's, would buy both, super job on both.

[Off the wall]

MOCs like this one should embarrass Lego designers and/or accountants.

Thank you all .

This cathedral can be viewed at the entrance of the SOouest commercial center at Levallois Perret where a Legostore is located. This small, but valuable, "exposition" displays the Josephine Baker House (by Archiwheel), the Centre Pompidou (by Fujiia), the Arc de Triomphe (by Rhakam), the Bilbiothèque François Mitterrand (by Stephane769) and this Notre Dame de Paris cathedral.

Excellent MOC! Very cleverly designed.

Was it the SOouest shopping centre or TLC who organised the display? The last time I was at the LEGO store at SOouset, about a year and a half ago, it seemed to be having supply problems. About a quarter of the shelves were empty and many of the others only had one or two sets. I hope LEGO France has pulled its socks up since then.

A wonderful, skillful build. The flying buttresses are a great touch.

Thanks. This has been done in collaboration with the LegoStore of SOouest ( http://www.soouest.c...e-boutique-lego ) which I don't known because I live near Strasbourg. This project has been initiated by Stéphane Roy alias Stephane769.

A wonderful, skillful build. The flying buttresses are a great touch.

Thanks.

Very nicely done! Interested to see what else you come up with!

Thanks. Maybe another cathedral .

Looks fantastic! Just as good as an official lego set!

Beautiful work!

Just wanted to let u know that the model instructions do appear to be available on ebay, Dan. The seller does have some other instructions that appear to be copies of Lego instructions, maybe has used your video to engineer some slightly different instructions? If they are yours my apologies and great work - the model captures the building beautifully.

Stunning build. I am not a visitor of churches or other religious buildings, but Notre Dame is on my bucket list, and your build has reminded me of that.

It is very similar...

It looks similar but it is 50% larger than mine. So it is OK because it is a completely new build. Thanks for your interest ;)

 

[Angeli]

do you have measurements of Notre Dam? I have been scouring Google for hour now, and I can;t find any - lenght, height, etc - I would like to build replica, but I can;t find any data to use as scale

If anyone can help, I would appriciate

Right after I post it, I found it

Hello,

 

I just finished collecting the bricks for your building, and built it. Amazing details! Thanks for sharing the instructions and partlist.

 

However, maybe some notes on your partlist:

- the hose rigid is not used in the instructions?

- Bar 4L (Lightsaber Blade / Wand) is 26x in the instructions, in the partlist only 24x

 

In the instructions, I think I found two small mistakes:

- step 110 : I think a plate 1x4 should be used instead of brick 1x4

- step 131 : substep 3 : one plate 1x2 should be placed differently, otherwise you cannot mount the black 2x4 plate...

(I wanted to upload screenshots, but I cannot get the filesize lower than the 0.1mb allowed...)

 

My 6y old son already played with the set after I told him the story of this building, and set the roof on fire to extinguish it with his fire truck ;-)
