I swear I didn’t build this in 4 days.
I had started a number of projects over the summer but they all took a back seat
when I was commissioned to build a model of a local church. The church was
completed in early January and I’m finally getting around to finishing the stuff
I started in the summer.
The temple is based on Jerusalem’s Dome of the Rock. The overall shape and main
features are all there but it was a challenge to try and duplicate the intricate
patterns (and patterns within patterns) in the buildings facades. So most (if
not all) of the patterns, tilings, tessellations, etc. are my own.
My favorite feature of this model is the curved wall under the dome. By using
1x1 round plates and 1x1 and 1x2 plates I was able to build a pattern into the
curved wall.

| (...) Very, very nice work, Arthur. That curved wall under the dome is the highlight, certainly, but the rest in magnificent as well. Spotlighted! Cheers Richie Dulin (16 years ago, 14-Feb-08, to lugnet.build.microscale)
