Hello Daan
Excellent creation. at first the odd mix of colors makes it a little difficult
to see the building for what it is, but upon closer inspection i really get a
picture of how beautiful it is. this is an excellent cathedral design. it's
to bad that you don't have enough bricks to make it with colors, but i think
most of us here have similiar problems.
Perhaps you might think about converting it into Ldraw and entering it in their
monthly contest, it would be a way for people to really see the detail and
beauty you've created.
I'd love to see more!
