A very beautiful and huge model -  thats one heck of a lot of 1x2 profile bricks!  

Though I cannot tell how you attached those gray tiles to the two windows on each side?

Stunning Westertoren you build there with great details.

Very nice! So many details! The result is huge! If you would only rebuild the historic part of Amsterdam I would think you would need the whole isle ;)

Great model! I enjoy seeing when MOCs use the brick brick part really well. Your model brought back sooo many memories for me, when I visited Amsterdam. The hotel was only a few blocks away which meant that the bells woke me up at night.

Very well! Love the details!

There is one problem with thisone, if you want to build it, it would drain all youre money out of youre pocket. That being sayd, i am not from Amsterdam ( from Utrecht ) but i like it just as mutch as the Domtoren. 

Great eye for detail, and build to look like the real one. And the Dutch people who have seen the tower in real life, ( i am one of them ) konw thats it is a great copy of the real tower. If you have instructions, then this is one of those moc's out there who are hard to resist in the sence to build it. Love it, it is a masterpiece..
