Hi, Herbert
It is rather a tease, isn't it? I'd particularly like to know how the windows were done.
Ciao!
Mike

I'm guessing this would go here. If you click on the link below, you will see some amazing architectural models, some of which are lit up, internally and externally. Reims in particular has some exquisite closeups of the stained glass windows.
I wonder if John has seen this site?

Brilliant work! I can't see any indications that the model is made of paper. Do you do anything to eliminate the fuzzies that often appear on edges when cutting paper?
Congratulations on another outstanding replica!
Cheers,
Mike :super:

...I'm not sure that the translation of tissue is correct. In german it would be 'Seidenpapier' direct translated into silkpaper. It is a very thin, but strong paper, used to cover bouquet of flowers or as package for chinaware and tableware...

Greetings from Toronto!

I've been following your architectural builds from the wings for a couple of months, now. They are very inspiring, particularly the one on Reims, which really caught my attention. I haven't picked it up, yet, but I was able to find Chartres. Some day I'll begin to tackle it.

I think the paper Josef is talking about is called Japanese tissue here in Canada. You should be able to find it in a hobby shop that caters to balsa wood flying airplane models, such as those made by Guillow's.
