Micro Models Vatican City at 200% [FERTIG]

seascape · May 31st 2013

Hi All,

Started building the MicroModels Vatican City last weekend. Decided that the model was a bit too small for me to handle, so printed it out on 65 lb (176 gsm) paper at 200%. Still small. The artwork at 200% has a lot to be desired and need a lot of glue and adjustment to fit more or less properly.

Won't make many close ups since the model has a lot to be desired, but still it is fun to build.

Only 2 sheets left to cut and glue together to finish it off. May try to add some landscaping.

Regards,
Fred

Hi Fred,

What a great project! Part of the charm of the Micromodels (to me) is their dodgy artwork. It goes perfectly with my dodgy construction

Looking forward to seeing the completion!

Best Regards,

Cris

Thanks, Cris.

Managed to get a few more buildings finished yesterday and hope to do some more today. I now have a lot of respect for people who build the Micromodels at the original size.

Regards,

Fred

Hi All,

Finally managed to finish this little model last night.

Added a cube to the first 2 photos to show the scale better.

Fun, but I think I'll build a bit bigger for a while.

Hi All,

Just a photo to show the scale between the Vatican City model and the Sagrada Familia.
