There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
By the time I realized it I had reflective glossy and non-reflective flat windows facing the exterior. Unfortunately most of them I placed were reflective on the exterior. To get as much uniformity as I could I had to take apart one complex section to flip one window strip. But two windows on the tower section still have the flat side out since it was too much dismantling to reverse those.
There are a few sets of window strips where the end of the building curves that might have a pre-bend in them to determine what the intention was for the placement of these windows. I can't recall if that is the case. I hope this helps others to realize that the window elements are critical as to what side faces outward. Maybe there is something in the instructions I missed but I'm very meticulous and technically minded in general and if I could miss this I'm sure others can as well.
Another warning. The flying buttresses are very slender and sensitive to buckling and are somewhat tricky to get in. I lightly bucked three or four of them until I figured out how to get them to slide in without imposing excessive twisting or tweaking. They require some force to get in so just treat them with extra care.
Also follow the directions and color coding very closely. I took for granted some pieces were identical but they are not...the flying buttresses specifically. I also put in one piece that looked symmetrical 180 degrees off. I found out much later when putting the main building sections together that the adjoining connection to this piece did not align. Luckily is was a long flat upper floor piece that simply rotated up and slid out and then rotated horizontally and easily slid back in.
I loved the final product over all and commend the people who designed it and I blame myself mostly for my errors in putting it together. I hope my trials and errors prevents others to not have to struggle in those areas I had trouble with.
I do have a couple of pointers...
- Get yourself a simple (and cheap) tool called a grout pick. It’s a hand-held tool with steel pointed ends. There are hundreds of foam bits to punch out and it’ll make the build go more smoothly. Plus, there are steps where you must line-up 10+ tabs and slots all at once for a firm fit. The grout pick will be very helpful to position the tabs that don’t want to cooperate.
- The acetate sheet with all the stained glass elements has a protective film on it. The instructions show an illustration of this, but It’s not prominent. Remove it for brighter windows.
- The instructions are IKEA-like; illustrations with no text. As you go through each step, check off the pieces in the instructions as you use them or (like me) you’ll get to the last step and find a few pieces you missed.
- Take your time with the stained glass elements. They’re held on with (provided) double-stick tape, but don’t press them firmly into place until you’re happy with the alignment.
- Take your time. The building of the model is immensely satisfying.
The attention to detail in all these models is amazing. The pieces fit together firmly and exactly without needing any tape or glue. The pieces pop out of the pre-printed die-cut sheets easily (again, the grout pick will help with the skinny parts). I just wish the company would release a “how-it’s-made” video to show how they design a bunch of 2D pieces to fit so well together to make a 3D cathedral. I am very impressed.
Update 10/22.19:
I finished the project and enjoyed every minute of it. I only found one sheet of pieces that were not printed accurately, but they didn't impact the final results very much. I added some lights and am very pleased with the results. (see video). A few tips: take time with the windows and align them carefully. They do fit the frames of the pieces accurately. Also, the mylar sheets have a protective sheet of plastic that should be removed before adhering the windows. A few drops of glue will keep some of the ornamentation on the roofs in place. This is an excellent puzzle and well-worth the money!

Absolutamente es lo que promete, muchas horas de diversión. El detalle es increíble
It is challenging, I would suggest it be given to someone whos is in their 20s rather than a 14 year old, only because the model does require lots of patients. The puzzle comes with a book of drawn instruction and all of the parts are clearly numbered for ease of construction. It is a good model for some one who is interested in architecture, or has seen the cathedral in person (before the fire).
The model looks very realistic, lots of detail and depth, you won't be disappointed with this CubicFun 3D puzzle! Just take care when removing the parts from the sheets.
Je donnerais un petit conseil dû à l'expérience pour les personnes qui ont envie de se lancer ; il y a une planche en plastique transparent, réservée aux "vitraux" : une fine pellicule la recouvre ; enlevez-là entièrement de la planche, cela vous évitera de "galérer" pour la retirer de chaque vitrail que vous aurez à utiliser par la suite. Cela n'abîme rien et vous facilitera le travail au moment voulu.
Bon courage à tous, cela vaut la peine de s'y atteler !
De momento hemos hecho la mitad y llevamos cronometradas 5 horas (mi pareja y yo).
