I've finally got round to putting some photos of my latest MOC up on my
site - a church.
Please have a look and LMKWYT.

Nice design. I like the blue stripes going around it. The buttresses going
into the roof are great. I like the use of trans-red rounds in the window
crosses.

Thanks Jason.
It was the arch pieces that kinda led how the design went. I think they were
from a paradisia set.
I wanted to use trans 1x1 plates but didnt have anywhere near enough :)

James,
Very nice church, what a good way to use up that white.

You can expect a blue building, a yellow building and a couple of red
buildings before I get through my brick backlog ;)

Very nice, and for those of you who have played Warcraft II ... does the
first picture remind you of the human fortress? I could not find a link of
a fortress online, so if anyone can snap it, I would appreciate it - for
comparison sake :)
I think the combination of blue and white is a great one. I am envious of
your blue slopes - I wish lego would offer slopes in blue and yellow like
they do in black and red.
Good usage of the stained glass, as well as making the stained crosses on
the side yourself. Also, kudos on not making your walls too flat - it's a
very easy trap to fall into. An extra pillar sticking out of the wall can
do wonders.
So what's your next project? How many of the buildings on your site do you
have currently built? Can you show a picture of all of them side-by-side? :)

Regarding the new church,
A beautiful little model indeed ! (Well, perhaps not so little, but it has
a quaintness to it -a simplicity, perhaps, that visually reduces its
apparent size to a friendly managable level.)
I had thought of using the stained glass window in that way, but the church
I recently built (sorry no pics yet) for my town was at a smaller scale and
would not fit. I'm happy to see that it can illuminate the interior as
shown in your image!
Keep up the great works of art and architecture!

I'd built a few smaller ones myself and they hadn't worked and ended up
getting recycled. It was something I'd meant to do since I first saw the
stained glass piece. It took a few photos to get the lighting inside
acceptable. It produced some really freaky pictures with too much light :)

Thanks Pawel
Are blue slopes rare at the moment then?? the ones used on the church are
certainly all old (and a few are a bit stained - doesn't matter so much for
a roof tho does it)
Yes exept where I've stated all the MOC's on the site are still built and
sitting on the shelves behind me. If I can find the time and space I'll do
another BIG layout.
and yes I played Warcraft II to death when it came out (quit poking me!) but
there wasn't any conscious influences there :)

Very nice!
A good way to use up those blue 2 by 2 by 2 pointed parts, I really like the
curved white parts on the roof. I need to build a church like this, my
current mini chapel in my present castle in a rather pathetic affair, truth
be told.
You could perhaps try to build up more of a frame around the stain glass
window, so that the see-through 4 by 1 thin thing isn't visible jutting out
so much.
cheers
Magnus

Thats what I got for buying lots of chrome castle sets loads of blue spires.
It wasnt originally intended to have them but they looked kinda good on it
and stopped them filling up a drawer.
I may make some modification to the back, build the 4x1 bar into a white
window ledge or something.
thanks for the idea

A little off topic, I won't even comment on the models (which I like :) )
I just wanted to say I love the layout of your site! The only thing I hate
about sites like yours are that they prove someone can make a simple site
look nice, and I can't :)
OK, now I can comment on the models - Cool :)
I like the church, though I think the church should be one of the largest
structures in any city (not that I'm religious, but going on history...)
I especially like the House with Courtyard and Dockside Tavern
though. Keep it up :)

thats the benefit of working in a web design studio :) It took my friend
about 10 minutes in Macromedia Fireworks to come up with the concept.
thanks
