Finally! After many months of work, largely due to my wanting to cut out the details of the monument's ornaments. I think it was well worth it because it gave the model a much more realistic look. The model has some design and fitting errors that I tried to disguise as best I could. None of the...

Continuing, I prepared some pieces to use at the end of the model. As you can see, these pillar-like pieces have a somewhat complicated shape. These pieces were used to assemble the unfinished chapels, which is the section I most feared assembling due to its complexity. I confess that this...
