I've already got a site reserved in my capital for when this beauty hits the LEX. Great work!

Looks wonderful. What do you plan on doing about the gardens?

[DebussyMan]

Thanks a lot for your comments! 

Arthur: Many thanks for your offer. If you get a chance, It'd be very helpful if you could get some shots from these facades which are very hard to find on the net:



Lars: The problem is not so much the cupula as the drum below it. I'm having a hard time calculating the proportions, angle and torsion of its elements. With a circular plan its a pretty simple formula, but with the elliptical one it gets a lot harder. Now I wish I had payed more attention to my analytic geometry classes 

Toxicpiano: I had originally asked D66 to help me with them, but since she's not around I guess I'll have to take a try on them myself. My plan is to make the gardens only until L'Allée de l'Eté. But what worries me most is the orangerie, as it is carved below the ground level of the Château, so it will require a little more ingenuity.

Ouh, yes, analytic geometry... A bell is ringing somewhere 
Indeed ellipses and especially ellipsoids are tough bitches to calculate. I'm not that well versed calculating them, too (not at all to be honest)... Hm... Been trying to find out some specs, but I wasn't that succesfull. All I found out were two more or less exact angles. Dunno if it is of help for you, but still:

Thank you, Lars, that diagram will sure be helpful 

Meanwhile, here's a little teaser. Reminds me I gotta get a larger light rig:

Once more the progress on Versailles looks terrific!
And I'm glad if my plan can provide you some help, even though it's not much. Best of luck with the dome (and with Versailles too, of course! )

Hello DebussyMan !

very impressive work !!!!!

as a Versailles Palace specialist may I help you :

visit the web site :
www.banqueimages.crcv.fr/newsearch.aspx?advanced=

write for the research : NEPVEU

you will get all the drawings of this architect in the 19th century with plans and elevations of the facades.

I hope it will help you,

Yanyan

Awesome Yanyan, I wasn't aware of this website. For the non-francophone peoples, once you get the first page of drawing, just clic one Prochaine Page

DIES!!!

The images look absolutely stunning, I'm so impressed by the work thus far.

Can't describe how excited I am to be able to use this once completed. Shall prepare a most magnificent setting

[DebussyMan]

Mon dieu! Merciii Yanyan! That was EXACTLY what I needed 

[Yanyan]

A votre disposition MONSIEUR Debussyman ! 

A Versailles Lover,

A little parenthesis regarding the Karlskirche - I don't know if this pictures can be useful, but even if not, they might be interesting to view at least:

We need updates. Please!!!!

[DebussyMan]

Sadly no news from Versailles. However, in my break today I tickled on a new Berlin W2W, based on a building which was located on Friedrichstrasse with Französische Strasse, across my previously released "Haus Faber", designed by Kayser & von Grossheim for the "Germania" insurance company.
