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...

Thank you for your comments. Next will come the last part before the complete model. Its an amazing part of the monument that will be unfinished forever and have some very complicated shapes.

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. In addition, I assembled the Chapter Room, which was the place where important meetings for the monastery community took place and where there is...

Finally back to continue assembling this beautiful monument. The choir section is done. Here I decided to use some extra cardboard to reinforce this part that seemed more fragile to me.

Thank you very much mijob and zathros.

Some details.

Moving on to the Founder's Chapel, which is a pantheon where King John I and several of his descendants are buried (I haven't confirmed if they are all there). Camões called this generation the Illustrious Generation, and today we could call it the Golden Generation of our country's governance...

Continuing with the church. I assembled the upper floor where the roof is located. The walls are reinforced by 14 flying buttresses. The main difficulty with these pieces was cutting them due to my desire to cut them with as much detail as possible.

Then I started assembling the church, which is the main body of the entire complex, measuring 80 meters in length, 22 meters in maximum width, and 32.50 meters in height! In these photographs, I will not show the complete church yet, but only a part of it.

You can see the actual stairs here, along with some photographs of the cloister for comparison.

Next, I glued the roofs of the Afonsine cloister and made a small staircase that exists in the corner of the cloister. I had to make some adjustments to the roofs because they didn't fit together perfectly.

I started the model with the Afonsine cloister. Originally, this cloister was begun later at the behest of King Afonso V, and therefore has a more austere and simple architecture. It was also one of the first two-story cloisters in Portugal with a porch on the upper floor.

After a Portuguese monument (Jerónimos Monastery), why not another? This time, the theme will be the Monastery of Santa Maria da Vitória, better known as the Batalha Monastery, which is also the name of the town where it is built. The monastery was commissioned by King John I after the Battle...

Thank you all for your kind comments. I'll be building another Portuguese monument next.
