Wow! Thanks for all the appreciation. I posted the image late last week and was amazed at how fast it went up. Thanks to Frank (Frank Strauss's image file) for the original concept.
I'm always a bit conflicted when it comes to modifying game pieces that are amazing by default, but Frank's cathedral project really gave me inspiration.
Also, I wasn't sure initially about giving the cathedral a weathered look (paint scheme) since it's supposed to be new when completed... but then it did take many years to complete and so in the end, I felt comfortable with my choice.
That is very very good!! I wish I had half enough talent to do that Mine would come out looking like crap and then I'd have to remind me of my horrible artistic abilities.

Dont give up! More or less one year ago, I started my painting experience. At the beginning I thought it was so difficult but then, step by step, I became more skilled. Ok there's still lot of things to improve... but if you dont start you'll never improve
EDIT: Btw: my avatar is one of my latest works....
Nice work - great rendition. Are there are other parts on top of the pieces missing from the files here? It doesn't look like they are all there and some of the images are distinctively purple yet the file is not. I personally like the dark purple look better than the files themselves - though great they are.

All 6 pieces and all image files are there except scafholding that is painted directly on the pieces. Purple hue may be caused by printer settings and picture lighting.
Reason why it may seem as though their are missing pieces is that I did't know how I wanted to finish the top of the towers so I painted them the same as the top of the lower pieces. And so I agree with you now that you've pointed it out: It does look incomplete...But now that I've varnished the whole set, I would have to sand, repaint and varnish again. Maybe I'll come back to it later. As for now, I'm miles away, building a submarine ;-):

Do you use sticker sheet or a kind of glue to put that togheter ?
No sticker sheets. Just printed on white bond paper strait from the printer. Cut and glued on with white carpenters glue and varnished over with Mod Podge (gloss)

and so in the end, I felt comfortable with my choice.
