Arthur,

I saw this earlier today on Brickshelf and knew it was yours the minute I saw
it.  Beautiful work with excellent use of colour to bring out the architectural
details.  Thanks for the historical background info on the Cathedral.  Hope
you're bringing it to Brickworld '08 so I'll have a chance to see it in person.

Brian

Brian,

Thanks for the amazing compliment. And yes, I’m definitely bringing it to
Brickworld.

Someone else asked me about the piece count. Given all the 1x1 plates and black
plates needed to hold it together I’m estimating well over 10,000 pieces. It’s
also one of the heaviest MOC I’ve built as a good deal of the inside is solid
(to provide support for the 1x1 plates). And although I under-estimated the
number of pieces I’d need on three separate occasions, this MOC was a
wonderfully relaxing build.

Here’s a link to the cathedral’s web site
