Work In Progress: Cathedral

Wonderful.  Hopeful Paddy can provide some temporary  protection  until the gargoyles  are in place.

Beautiful, Shiral, and so intricate.  Yes, there must be gargoyles!

Well, and Paddy of all people (entities?) would understand the value of careful preparation and thorough construction. 

In all seriousness, the cathedral is amazing and coming along beautifully.

love the roof lines. I had wondered about the little niches at the east end. Glad they got roofs too.
Now that it has been mentioned, I think a gargoyle would not be out of place.

Shiral, your cathedral gets more beautiful and impressive with every step. It is amazing! I agree that a gargoyle is called for. My daughter almost bought a house in a historic area, a three story townhouse with a resident gargoyle named Edgar. Really liked him a lot. Unfortunately, the house didn't work out. Would have enjoyed a gargoyle in the family.

Alas, no gargoyles around my place either. But then, it was built in the early 1970's, not a golden age for gargoyles.  Thanks for your kind remarks everyone, and clearly I need to do some gargoyle research.

Hello everyone,
Every time I do a new building, it always surprises me that the wee, finicky details are the things that take the longest. You'd think I'd have learned that by now! Anyhow, here's the latest update on the Cathedral's progress. We're getting close to the end, now. Here are  pictures of the West Facade, which has had most of the detailed additions since my last update. Also pictured is the Eastern end and the North Side.  Enjoy!

Wow! love all the roof crenelations. How ever did you cut all of those out? Wonderful!

@Shiral  didn't you have a website that showcased all your buildings and a way to order a commissioned one?

I still do, I think....That is, I haven't taken it down. I haven't updated it in years, though.

Beautiful, Shiral!  I love the details.

Shiral, your cathedral is amazing and beautiful. Loved all the details which add so much. Very impressive. You are really multi talented.

Aaaand.....the Grand Finale. The Cathedral is FINISHED! I was taking pictures outdoors today, but didn't get very many before my camera battery pooped out on me and it started sprinkling. Rain is definitely not good for my creations, so back indoors I went. More detailed shots will need to wait.

I'm both glad and sorry to be done. It was a great project, but also very time consuming. But I'm very pleased with the finished result.
