St. Peter Basilica; Schreiber Bogen; 1/400 (FERTIG)

Here I am again with another model. This time it will be the St. Peter Basilica.
The model is very big with 114cm long and it have more than 2000 pieces and in the end should the quite impressive.
Lets see how I handle this model. For now I show to you the pile of paper and card (and I didnt use all the card) that I will use for the building and the paper base glued to a wooden base.

For today I bring to you the interior of the model.

The beginning of the structure of the Basilica.

Another small advance.

The walls of the model are very similar with the structure of the real building.

I also show the stairs that have various levels.

A little more of the walls with the cornice (I hope to be the right word) and the advances in the pillars.

Another small a

Another small advance.

Today I bring the second floor.

The end of the second floor.

At the top of the dome goes the small construction that I bring today.
I also show the base of the dome.

Thank you Spitfire! I hope to end the construction of this model soon and I am happy that someone are interested in this tread.

wasqutschmeckt - Thank you for your comment and for your interest.

Thom - The base was easy . I give a woodworker a kind of (how I must say) blueprint in the natural size that I wanted, made of a big paper.

Finally I bring Dome ready and with it the Basilica it’s ready. Still is missing the square.
II used one paper piece at the top of the dome and one card piece at the inner side ato bottom of the dome.

With the end of the Basilica I start the square.
Today I show the easy part.

The coluns have almost half of the pieces of the model.

The top of the coluns.

Thank You Kurt!

Finally I managed to get some time to post the last pictures of the construction, before I post the pictures the finished model.
You can see that I made some figures to give a little of life to this enormous model. I downloaded from the papershipright site and rescaled them.
The figures have a small piece of transparent plastic glued to their feet to stand up.

Glue me - I already have taken the pictures of the finished model but I think that should have at least one with similar clothes with you!

You can be, I guess, the Mni-me that in the picture with the coin before the last picture!

Ok here are the promissed pictures.

There are many more to come.

More details.

Spitfire - You should be almost appearing.

The end.

Thank to all that leave some comments and keep watching this tread.

Thank You very much Spitfire!
