Having now already been highlighted on http://vignettebricks.blogspot.com/ and http://www.brothers-brick.com/ (thanks!), I thought I’d try to get around to posting my first vignette; and first lugnet posting.

A Torii gate marks the entrance to a spiritual place. Hundreds of these structures can be found across Japan near Shinto sites and Buddhist temples. This vignette was made in response to a build challenge in my local club in the Ottawa, ON area (http://www.parlugment.org).



Enjoy.

Paul

Nice solution. I was currently trying to work out how to make one myself for a project with heavy oriental themes. I think I will be borrowing this

One question. How well do the plates stay on top, is it secure or are they just resting on top?

Hi Aaron. If you are referring to the brown tile on the very top, they are secure and are not resting. There is a 1 x 2 tile in the center, and a 1 x 6 on either side of it. One end of sits up on the 1 x 1 round plate at the end while the other fits (snugly) into one stud where it rests against the 1 x 2. Hope this helps.

Hi, sorry for not responding earlier but that is a brilliant Torii you have there. Beautiful in its simplicity! And very good use of the plates at the top. Any chances of seeing a Shinto temple to complement that? ;)
