You've made an awesome job with this.
Dang epic!

Here is a few notifications of mine though:

The blue circle shows a corner which completely lacks of detail. It doesn't blend well with the rest of the build.

The orange circle shows an empty flat roof which I find pretty odd for the build. The top of the roof is also too close to the windows that is lying under it.

The red circle shows a wall that seems too flat for me. The round glass window's surrounding should have more detail.

The brown circle shows windows that I think is unfitting. Could you take a closer look at it?

Don't mind the green circle. :P


When I think about it, the whole "south facade" doesn't fit well with the build at all.
And yeah, I know this is a wip.

Maybe put some gargoyles? :)

Thanks for the detailed feedback! As I said in the OP, the exterior is only 90% done. I need to fix the south and north transept facades and the east end.
I definately planned to do something about the blue/red circles. I was tired when I made these, and I wanted to get them done quickly :P  
I'll take a look at the brown and red circle too, while I'm at it. What kind of windows do you suggest for the brown area?
Gargoyles and sculptures will be done, of course :D (though they it's pretty hard to make them look good with default bricks :/)

You wrote "red" two times. :D

I'm not sure about the windows at the brown area. I'll come with a reasonable reply later.

The new window with Jesus as a shepherd should be removed. It was a nice idea, but I think there are too few colors and too much empty plain spots. The green color also look unfitting. The circles above the window seems strange too.

The interior looks fabulous so far, however.

Also forgot to tell you that I love your variation of grey colors.

It would look better to cram a bunch of saints together like they do on real stained glass, but that wouldn't fit with the amount of room given.

That's exactly what I thought. I wanted something cool up there, so it's not just a plain wall of greynes. But when I look at it from the other side of the cathedral, it looks as if a child took the brightest crayons he could find and painted a picture of himself.

Yes. Too bad the smallest possible bricks are 1x1 flats. I might figure out a solution though.

The stained glass windows above the apse. It displays Jesus as a shepherd, surrounded by his sheep.
I don't know if I like this window. Should I keep it? Yay/Nay?

It's a church cathedral isn't it? Whether you're non-religious or the latter, theme is key.

hory sheet man

I'm presuming the bricks are all default?
and any plans to release the save?

I used 1randombrickpack for the ramps. Just because the brickcount would get unnecessary high if I didn't. But if I wanted to turn this into a default-only build, I reckon it could be converted in less than an hour.

ruins the build a bit with those crappy ramps

But they're long and reduce the brickcount by quite alot :/

You have won my sole. Holy crap. This is the best build in Blockland to me.
Host this, please.
And you best release this. When it's done.

Oh stuff. You have talent. This must be defaulted.

Apparently there was a default cathedral but they removed it.

Can you post a close-up of the circular window?
