Santiago de Compostela; Merino; 1/400 [fertig]

My next model will be my second building. It is the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela scale 1:400. The model is printed, if I am not wrong, 18 sheets slightly larger than A4 and has only 197 pieces. Only 197 pieces they are misleading as I quickly discovered when I started the first cut. Because most of the pieces are quite work to cut what will make the model takes longer than expected. The print quality is good but it can not be said that the graphic quality is very good and it seems that will result in the end of mounted. I think that is the reason for the quality somewhat outdated is that the book of the model have the date of 1993 and it is so then the model is very good.

Here is finally the start. I started with one of the front turrets. Next I will show the other turret.

Here are the two towers together. They are very similar but are not equal.

The central part of the church is growing.

Hi,
No problem John! Its good to know that you and others are watching the tread! Your model is perfect.

The roof of the central part is ready. I know that it is not very good, but should not influence the gluing of the frontal part.

Another seccion of the church is coming together.

Now, the roofs of the same section of the church and the base for another tower.

The tower above the same roofs unfinished and the watch tower also unfinished.

Several small pieces for the watch tower.

Finally, the watch tower is ready to be glued in place.

Some more developments in the back of the cathedral.

An overall view of the cathedral and the beginning of another section.

Thank you John for your kind words.

I can say that I already went to Santiago de Compostela one time!
I am thinking in returnig there, maybe this year.
I live even closer from Santiago de Compostela than Ricardo, in Ponte de Lima, or better at about 9km from the center of Ponte de Lima that it is the oldest village of Portugal.
Other curiosity is that were I live is exactly were one of those pathways exists. Its commom to see many people passing in were by foot or in bicycles (many bicycles at Sundays).
Im gonna post somme pictures from Ponte de Lima.
The first is mine the others are on the web.

Now returning to the model.

The cloister seeing from below and the cloister again in its place.

I also glued together one of the sides of the church. In this parts I had some difficulties in gluing them

The last pictures before I can show the model finished!

Now the ready model!

More pictures.

The end...

Thank you for your kind words Ricardo!

Yes the model is a " must have", its a very good model.
