Looking south west across Cathedral Square showing the eastern side of Christchurch Cathedral (left), the Godley statue (centre left) with the (from left to right) Chief Post Office, the Regent Theatre Building (directly behind the statue on the corner of Worcester Street), the AMP Building, the Government Life Building and the Grand Theatre.
A photograph of components of a model of the ChristChurch Cathedral being built from LEGO by Sam Butcher. Sam comments "Fixing a large variety of bits that were wrong/annoying/cheating (not purist) about the last model. The new one is set AFTER the Feb 22 earthquake. This newer, and much stronger model is also completely modular for easier transport. Obviously still a WIP, I'm currently waiting for a pretty large bricklink order at the moment, and will probably need to place a couple more after that too. Back on the new technical design for the Cathedral Rose Window".

Here you can see a couple of aspects of how the model is put together. The technique used proved - from what I tried - to be the best and strongest way to do it".
