The Temple of Love: Building a Sisters of Battle Cathedral pt 6

Work on the Cathedral continues (full disclose; it has got further than this but these pictures are just where I had got to when I dropped the images into Blogger and left the post as a draft - there is no particular reason why this post merely contains what it does).

The lantern, seen from above. Hopefully, the Ecclesiarchy symbol can be seen.

A series of pictures showing what was done (part of what was done, TBH) on the facade. I filled gaps with plasticard and cut out lower panels. When buying components for my Thunderhawk I ended up with some spare door sections, which I put in place on the Cathedral. I hadn't given much thought to the entry to the building - obviously, for a pilgrimage site one little door barely wider than a Terminator wasn't going to cut it (to be frank, three doors aren't enough either - if there is a fire or a panic everyone is a martyr, I guess . . . ) But the doors look more practical and are visually interesting.

This image does not really show what it needs to show - which is the very top of the facade's northern tower. But it does show all the gargoyles in place on the lower walls.

The rear facade! More plasticard to fill gaps and to secure the central window (made out of the ruined sections glued together to make a single, whole arched window).

Obviously taken out of the glare of the daylight bulb, this shows the tops of the towers, with scratch-built sections. They need roofs on the top.

A closer shot of the same.

The rear facade has little arches with platforms in the center, on which will be statues (the Mechanicus and Ecclesiarchy ones from the new Sector Imperialis kits)

These pictures don't show much progress (other than work done on the northern side of of the nave) but they do show the whole building assembled together to see what it looks like.

More pictures to follow soon; let me know what you think!
