Which kits did you use to build that cathedral?  Or did you use multiples of the same kit?

It was a mix of parts that I got from a friend. However, IIRC was able to deduce that it was probably these two kits

Large set

and the Small set #1.

As well as cutting some of the pieces into parapet walls (and using the cutaway tops for the tower) I also cut down the size of the slanted roof pieces to make them just larger than one panel wide, instead of the covering 2 panels as seen in the small set #1.  The plastic is really thick but if you've got a dremel and a 543 bit (my most favorite Dremel accesory), it's pretty easy.

You can see details of the whole project here:

Unlike what my blog says, I don't think I used the pieces from the Ruins pack, though if you're trying to replicate my design, you might want to count the pieces first just to be sure.

The church is indeed impressive.  Do you know what its base dimensions are?  Is the graveyard a part of the actual model, or is that just an accessory used for the photo?

I'm sure that if you phoned Dave up he's be very happy to talk you though the dimensions. Grand Manner are usually a little larger than most and they are loaded with detail.

Darrell.
