agamemnon9 Posted May 6, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 6, 2020 Hi, I show you my pictures of Notre-Dame under construction and my stained glass window,,,,,Notre-Dame is not an assemble kit ...I made my own pieces with the help from pictures in books and from the internet. The scale will be 1/100. I made some stained glass windows and this is my first one.....Tanks a lot.

agamemnon9 Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted May 7, 2020 Hi Druxey......First of all I made enlarge a ground plan of my cathedral , and with the drawing of Eugene Viollet Leduc (the man who renovate this cathedral from 1844 to 1864) plus a hundreds of photos in books plus pictures on the internet and finally the drawing at the University Laval in the archives department I have everything I need. This cathedral will be made entirely of pine wood,,,,What you see in pictures is only the beginning,,,First I start with the roof,,,now I built the spire of the cathedral...........My techniques is easy...Once I know the width and the height of my spire,I go by section...Each section is drawn by myself..each piece is measured and noted....after and that's where the fun begins,I try to do the piece in different ways...sometimes it's work sometimes not...it's by trial and error...For example..... if you take the fifth picture..I show you what is called a Balustrade,this balustrade are made of two section...the above section you have the nnnnnnnnnn and the under section you have the posts IIIIIIIIIII.To built the posts it's easy but not for the nnnn above.To built the nnnnnnn,I take a piece of plain wood approximately of 4 mm high by 30 mm long and if I make 12 nnnnnnnnnnnn I drill 12 holes with my dremel in the plain wood , after that I use the saw blade to round off the top,,, ET... VOILA....I used and abused Dremel a lot. Tanks Druxey I hope it answers your question. jwvolz, popeye the sailor, mtaylor and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agamemnon9 Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share #18 Posted May 10, 2020 Hi Kurt ... I've been working on it for a few months, it's hard to answer ... maybe 2 months of continuous time. I work outside during the week and I can only work on this project only The weekend. What you see is only the beginning ... I have already done a roof before but I had to start again because the proportions were not good ... that's why you see a gable, balcony and clock next to the roof ... it was on my last roof. I've heard that some ship project takes up to ten years, it's probably a big ship ... ... my project will take a few years, I am 55 years old and when I retire at 65 I will finally be able to work on it every day .... PS my stained glass window took me a month. .... . when you have a passion, time does not count. Tanks a lot.

Kurt Johnson Posted May 11, 2020 Share #20 Posted May 11, 2020 (edited) Beautiful work. I would like to find about how they’re are going about the actual restoration work of the cathedral after the fire. If you happen to know any specific resources, please let us know. I would think the restoration would also turn up previously forgotten information about Norte-Dame. Have you been there in person? It’s interesting you seem to be working from the top down. I just have to say corny as it may sound, Follow Your Dream. It’s definitely a beautiful one. I wish you a bon voyage. PLEASE send us many post cards along the way. It is a journey I would really like to follow.
