Hi,
Originaly i didn’t crosspost it to these locations, only to Architecture.
I uploaded some pictures of my latest building, build after the Stavechurch of
Heddal - Notodden - Norway, located at abouth 60 km West of Oslo. The original
church is from around 1250 and there’s still 30% of the original wood in this
building. Not one nail is used to fix the whole building.
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=278098
To remain a minimum of ‘arches’ in the gallery, is it a bit larger build than
minifig scale. Otherwise i needed to modify a lot of bricks, something i don’t
like to do. For a picture of the real church, i recommend a Google picture surch
with the name ‘Heddal’ in the textbox.
The model is build after pictures and plans of the original church from 1953 -
1954. I would like to thank the Norwegian “Riksantikvaren” (Cultural Heritage)
for sending me a copy of the plans. http://www.riksantikvaren.no/English/
I hope you enjoy it.
Regards,
Ludo Soete

Nicely done, Ludo! It’s a very clean build, with nice lines.
I was just in the actual Heddal stave church about a month ago, when I visited
Norway. What an amazing place!

Well, I certainly do! :)
Some natives commented that it should have been brown ;) but nice anyway.
And they also commented that you should definitely bring it to LEGO World
in Oslo in May’08! (drop me a mail for details if you might be interested)
Cheers,
Matija

Hi Matija,
Thanks for the reply and info.
The reason i chose for tan is that i thought it would be easier to find the
pieces in large quantities.
There are between 1300 and 1500 tan bricks 1x4 log used.
Also, if you take a look around the different pictures you can find on the
internet, depending on the lighting, there's a large difference in color too,
going from a kind of tan to brown.
I was there for the last time some 14 years ago.
I visited it twice, and when i look to the picture i took abouth 20 years ago,
then i see a light brown color, where the tan matches better than the old or
reddish brown.
The old brown is too dark for this model, while the reddish brown isn't perhaps
that easy to find.
Regards,
Ludo Soete

If you ask me, I think tan was a very good choice. Personally, I had plans
on doing another stave church (the one in Gol) and had the same dilemma -
old brown seemed to be too dark, new too reddish, black too...black :)
We shall see... it is the maybe-TODO-list :)
Cheers,
Matija

Ludo,
Very impressive! I saw a bunch of stave churches last Augst when I was in
Norway, and remember thinking that building one would be a great LEGO project!
Medieval Norwegian architecture seems to have things in common with older
Japanese Architecture - something about the layers of roofs and the way the
diagonal lines come together.
Nice build!
