If you want a large, hard, sharp, and beautiful model..get this one.
I've only done 2 other Microworld models and 1 of those 2 was a bad model, this is my 3rd and it already has just great feel, quality, weight of the metal sheets is heavy, size of the cathedral is huge. I had to leave a review. Most companies when dealing with a piece that may have sharp points would have rounded them out. Not this company. Some VERY sharp points and a lot of them. It's makes me happy when I have a model that hasn't been rounded down for safety but keeps the original point for design. I will update when done but I love this model already.The only con I see so far is the size of the tabs. They are bigger than other companies so they stand out more but this isn't something that would be a negative. It's just something I wish they would make smaller in future models.Update: All done! This was a very very tight model. Felt like I was stretching metal to conform. But what a great looking addition. On a side note there are a few mistakes in piece sheet. A misdrawing that didn't hurt any. Also you will have to do some steps ahead of others or you will have a very hard time. Have fun, well worth the price and time!P.s. you'll have to hold it upside down a bunch of times to twist tabs so don't do what I did and drop it! I now have a couple loose spires that I can't go back and re-tighten.

Patience patience patience
Im so glad the metal model guys have made their designs bigger and better. I've made a little over 200 models and i've seen the quality of the designs and the metal itself get better.Im happy that the quality of the metal has improved because i had to wrestle some parts into place several times. In the past, the meyal would have snapped already, but now it's ''wrestle-able'' 😂.I made the blue mosque before i did the milan cathedral amd i was glad that i did them in that order. The 30 small domes of the blue mosque prepared me for the 100 something spires of the milan cathedral.Keep it up metal model guys! Looking forward to more designs!

Very dissapointing
This model is beautiful but the slots are way too tight for the tabs, which makes it really difficult to put together. The metal is thicker than models that I’ve worked on, and it added to the challenge since it makes it less workable. The instruction is not so good, sometimes I had to redo the last couple of steps that were completed per instruction because they should’ve been done after instead of before the next step. Very frustrating, it took the joy of building these models (this is not my first one, I’ve completed a few difficult ones before). I’m very disappointed at this, especially with the price that was paid for it. Will not buy anymore of this kind / manufacturer.

Agree with first review
I agree with the previous reviewer on all items. I have built many of Microworld models and this one I would rate up there as one of their better ones. The photos don't do it justice. It has a red roof and most all of the parts have several color highlights and detailed engraving to give it the look of stained glass and gold plated. I don't recommend this one for beginners or children.

Horribly Useless Instructions
Extremely disappointed and dissatisfied with this product. The instructions are Horrible and basically useless. Paid a lot of money for this, only to be “Frustrated Beyond Belief” with the instructors; which are amazingly vague and extremely difficult to understand. Feel like I should be reimbursed for my time, energy and efforts.

Most spires ever
Most spires I've ever built to date. I counted 124 and One steeple (however you want to name them). Easy assembly and easy to understand instructions. Took 8 to 12 hours off and on work over a week.
