So....yeah I plan to build that.

Stupid, yes.
Ambitious, yes.
Will I come remotely close to finishing? Who knows :P
I'm working on this in builder so hopefully an op will help me move it if I run out of space. (which is almost guarenteed considering the scale)

My current progress:

Can I help? I love the art and detail there, looks amazing! ;)
-
Hmm, a rival I see? Lol, jk. Anyhow, good luck with that.
-
I was talking about the Duomo in Florence, the dome itself was a architectural marvel at the time due to shear size :) <- that is my favorite building
This is still a very nice and complicated, ill be watching the progress since i am right next door :P
-
you'll never get all that details....
-
@Spartan
sure if u want...but i'd advise u be prepared for this project taking forever to finish....
@Flight
heh heh, thnx and if you wanna go, LETS GO! :p Nah jk, but i dont mind friendly competition, it keeps me motivated so feel free to challenge me...
@Crafty
Ah I see, oh well....I've already got started on the milano one so maybe I'll check that one out too...And I'll be watching ur porgress too! :P
@Terrewee
Well its Minecraft! I actually think it'll be easier because I dont have to focus entirely on the extremely intricate detail. Don't get me wrong, I'll still represent them some way but I'm focusing more on the structure rather than details.
-
Unless you scale it up by like 6 :P
-
I've seen the front part, looks good!
-
@Spartan
lol
@Taco
thnx, man
I've taken a rough estimate and im gonna need about 180x180x180 space (maybe even more cuz the photos im looking at have major perspective distortion) Does anyone know any worlds that I could request it moved to where it'd fit? I'm trying to avoid the art world cuz I dont wanna cover anyone's stuff....
-
Get a 3d model. They're much easier to work off of.
-
@Spartan
I would if I could but since I dont have my personal laptop, (I'm using my college's library computers to work on this) so its impossible for me to install the required software to view those 3d models....oh well
-
ah... Does google sketchup not have it?
-
@Spartan
Yeah it does. I downloaded a 3d model of the building (i think it has a .skp format)
But I also have to download and install Google Sketchup onto the computer I'm using (which is a library computer and I dont have administrative power to install it) If there is a way for me to view the model online without having to install the Sketchup software let me know.
-
If you send me a link to the file, I can dl it and make some screenshots from the sides/top and send you those.
Great job so far ;)
-
@Mr.Monkey
thnx for the offer!
here's a link to the download page
http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=4a8e305d717b36a1f1d2bc16d7429c80
I'm pretty sure you know what kind of pics I need but just to be sure, I need top, side, and back pics (i pretty much have the facade figured out). Dont wrry bout inside pics for now. Thnx in advance
-
Actually top front side, the three geometrical views
-
@spartan
......THANK YOU....SPARTAN! :P
But I already got the front taken care of thats why I requested back specifically.
-
No problem :P
-
The model you gave is not finished yet, so there is no back yet :/
I did find this picture though

and this site has some pictures of details on the sides

thnx Monkeh! :D I'll check it out!

Ok so I just looked at the plan of this cathedral and I did a rough estimate of the space I'd need. Earlier I said about 180x180x180 blocks.
-_- I was so wrong.....The previous images of this project that I'm doing have major perspective distortion so my earlier estimate was quite a bit off.
I'm gonna need (in LxWxH form) roughly 450x210x300 blocks of space to build it. Now again this is a rough estimate and I may need slightly less or slightly more blocks.
At the moment I'm going to postpone building this in builder world until a new world is created.
With that said, Optic, Morten, or Relkeb, if you are reading this post I want to know can I request for a world to be made where I can build this project?
