Assembling St. Isaac's Cathedral on the "Model" Bashny.Net

Will be 33 photos

A couple of years ago my wife and I have a question: what would such-edakogo put on a shelf to look and beauty?
I remembered that as a young man worked modelism and offered to build some model - aircraft, ships, tanks of some. The wife welcomed the idea, but asked to select the "something more peaceful and aesthetic," and after not very long reflection, we decided on the model of "local attractions" - St. Isaac's Cathedral.

The box with the model lying on a shelf, his wife and child on vacation, shot in the locker and berries in buttocks is available in sufficient quantities - everyone says that you can start.

Let's go!

The gables are installed in the ground, while & quot; dry running & quot ;. Columns should be dry and secure for further assembly.



10. Gables pasted on the walls of the building pieces. In this case it was decided to depart from the assembly instructions as gable sits in the slots with a large force. Therefore, in compliance with the instructions, there is a risk to break the column.
