Giacinto Consiglio Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) I'm back with a revised (and instruction-ized) version of Florence Cathedral (Duomo of Santa Maria del Fiore) I originally created back in 2017, but never posted on EB. The original model was built with real bricks in Florence Cathedral Museum thanks to the great team of Toscanabricks LEGO fan group, excited by the digital pics of the model I showed on an Italian LEGO forum. I finally managed to make instructions for it and I modified the domes (both Brunelleschi's and the three twins above the apses) with the newly released 1x2 rounded plates. I included a pic of the original model displayed at Museo dell'Opera del Duomo at the bottom of the gallery (photo not by me). Hope you like it!!

Ex cinno Posted March 4, 2020 I had already admired your masterpiece two years ago at Brick in Florence, where I exhibited my trains, but I must recognize that your new version managed to improve a work that was already almost perfect. Complimenti davvero. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
