Building the CubicFun 3D Puzzle of the Notre Dame de Paris - 1

[@prunelle3379]

Vraiment un très grand merci pour vos vidéos qui m'ont beaucoup aidée, sans vous, je pense que j'aurais abandonnée. Du coup, j'ai pris un grand plaisir faire ce puzzle. Pour ma part, j'ai acheté la marque Revell car c'est tout ce qu'il restait mais j'ai l'impression que c'est identique à Cubic Fun en moins cher (29 €). Vous devriez être rémunéré par les différentes marques car vos vidéos sont d'excellentes qualités, très pédagogiques et indispensables pour accompagner la notice non suffisante. Encore merci !

[@leokessels88]

Merci beaucoup pour vos compliments. Je suis heureux que mes vidéos aient été utiles. ❤️

Thanks for the helpful tips!

[@leokessels88]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching.

"Dies ist das große; Maßstab 1:250" Das sieht man. Die Kathedrale wird ganz schön groß und sieht jetzt schon klasse aus. Es macht Spaß zuzusehen und Appetit, es selbst zu bauen.

[@leokessels88]

👍 Nun, dann wünsche ich einen guten Appetit 😊. Aber sei vorsichtig, wenn du etwas kaufst. Ich habe dieses Puzzle vor einiger Zeit für 50 Euro gekauft, aber im Internet liegen die Preise jetzt zwischen 55 und 150 (!?) Euro. (Fortsetzung folgt in Kürze. Ich bearbeite gerade die Videos von Teil 2 und 3)

@@leokessels88 Danke für die Warnung, das hatte ich zum Glück schon bemerkt. Auch die kleinere Version wird teilweise mit den Bildern der großen Version angeboten (von offensichtlich zwielichtigen Versendern). Ob ich diese Art Modellbau auch noch anfange, weiß ich aber nicht. Erstmal schaue ich dir zu. 🤜

Habe sie mir heute gegönnt 😊

Une structure très belle, maintenant je suis en train de rejoindre les pièces et c’est trop fatigant pour moi, mais au mois j’obtiendrai un dix dans la classe d’histoire.

[@leokessels88]

Je vous souhaite bonne chance pour la construction et la leçon d'histoire.

[@curtisspratte-lennington2311]

I also want to know what kind of ruler you used for the construction of this model.

[@leokessels88]

I have several rulers. I normally use one made of metal. But this was an ordinary plastic ruler I got as a business gift.

[@curtisspratte-lennington2311]

I just bought a square file tool set. I'm thinking about starting my Notre Dame Cathedral set sometime in February or March whenever I feel ready. Do you have any tips or recommendations for this model kit? I'm concerned about placing the stain glass windows properly in place. I will use your video tutorial for help. Thank you.

The insertion of part 207 makes no sense in relation to the other parts. I cannot figure it out.

[@wcombs]

Actually it’s part 96 that makes no sense. It doesn’t stay on.

[@leokessels88]

Part 207 is the part to stick the round rosette window on. It gives depth to the windows and also provides strength to the center part.

[@leokessels88]

@@wcombs This component also provides the depth effect. But you have to follow the right order of installation: first slide part 102 into 212, then insert 95 (with the windows) and finally 96. Then everything will stay nicely in place.

[@wcombs]

@@leokessels88 I figured it out. It wasn’t until the next few steps and pieces went in and held everything in place.

[@curtisspratte-lennington2453]

I have a question: what type of square file tool did you use?

[@leokessels88]

As you can see, it's just a small square metal file, like those that can be bought in a key file set at the good hobby store.

I just wanted to write and say thank you very much for the detailed walk through of this model. I literally just started, and I am at 2:37 in your video, and find that the instructions provided are pretty bad in my opinion. They do not do a good job explaining what side is the viewable side versus the side that you apply windows to, or the side that is the "backside". I would have been lost without your videos. And I am not new to advanced models. I've built many complex polystyrene models, but these just do a poor job at explaining. Thank you again, much appreciated!

[@leokessels88]

Thank you for the compliments. I always enjoy reading that my videos are helpful. By the way, I had run into the same problem with the windows and the poor building instructions. Fortunately, I had experience with installing printed windows with Metcalfe's card construction kits. You will find a few videos of these on my channel as well. Have a great time with your building projects.

[@TrekBuilder]

Thank you, I am catching on, and I find it just extraordinary the level of detail in this kit. The engineering that goes into these leaves me speechless. I am really having a good time with it. I also bought the Saint Paul's Cathedral, and the very large Sagrada Família Moveable Church, though that one I had to order from Cubicfun directly.

[@curtisspratte-lennington2311]

I've got a question. When it comes to putting the windows in place do you place the windows in to where the code on the window is facing in the opposite direction as what it looks like in the video? Because otherwise I can understand to where to place the windows which is place it to where the glossy reflective side is facing outward.

[@leokessels88]

The printed numbers are on the glossy side (which was covered with the film). The double-sided adhesive tape should be stuck on the glossy side because the glossy side of the window should face outwards. So the double-sided tape should be stuck on the glossy side. I think I did it this way in the video.

[@curtisspratte-lennington2311]

Thank you for the response. It's just that when I saw the video it looked like the codes was facing backwards.

[@timhamlett5042]

Pretty cool but not what I would call a puzzle.

[@leokessels88]

Depending on their skill and insight, this will still be quite a puzzle for some 😄
