Hi all,
It’s been a while since I’ve made a new train here (and even longer since I
posted one based on a prototype) and I was feeling a bit of withdrawal so I went
hunting for something fun to design. My search stopped at
this cute
little shunter. The third wheel should be held on by a rubber band.

As usual comments and criticisms appreciated.

Hi Øyvind,
This final versions looks excellent. I like the balance of selective compression
(eg. you have reduced the number of segments from 11 to 9) and scale modelling
in it. The final result looks just like the real thing and wouldn't look too
large or small in a minifig town in my opinion.
The organ is beautifully rendered and your stained glass effect is wonderful
with the mix of round and square pieces to bend the light in different ways. The
little touches like the wheelchair ramp also add a lot to the building.
Lovely work! Look forward to seeing more.
Tim

My fourth and last attempt on this strange building is now finished and the
pictures can be found here:

My first three attempt on this church was built only from memory of the
church and one picture from a long distance :)
But I found some more picture that I used for the fourth version. And after
I built the fourth version I visited the church to attendt to the first
consert with the new organ in the curch. (My model is from the old organ).
And I could see that I was not that far off with my building in LEGO ;)
Nice consert too...

I found it difficult to find the excact scale to build in because I have
limited amount of white bricks to build from. Acctually I purcased a #4886
set just to get more white bricks (first time I ever have purcased a set
just for a singel project).
So I settled with some quasi scale, I'm not sure what the numer is but altar
and rows of seat looks to be in the same scale now. And the rest followed
the size of the roof. Tried to anyway...
> Hope this is of help,
It was inspiring and a lot of help. Thank you!
A sneak peak on the new glass mosaic can be seen here:

And the new front and overall look is here:

rke-v4_0001.jpg
I have made a more correct scale of the organ, I have rebuilt the altar and
the "altar tablet" (not sure what that is called in English, but the wall
behind the altar, often a painting or sculptures). I have also tried to
rebuild the glass mosaic so it looks a bit more like the real one, but
because of shortage of transparent pieces this is what I finaly ended with.
I have also stretched the church a bit and got a better front and an new
stair in the front. Even put in the wheelchair ramp.
Overall I'm pretty happy with this last attempt. And I dont think I will
make more adjustment to it.
Maybe after a few years when I got some more bricks and can build it larger
and get better details and more correct to scale...
You can see the progress from version1 up to version4 after moderation.
There are also some pictures of the orginal church that you can look at and
compare with my version. Comments are welcome.

Aktiviteten har overgått all forventning.
Vi har også registert http://www.brikkelauget.no/
så får vi se hvordan det hele utvikler seg videre.

Hei å hå!
Tenkte bare jeg skulle si at det er nå kommet mange tilbud på LEGO sett på
Extra Leker, iallefall her i Tromsø.
Nå forsvinner LEGO settene unna som varmt hvetebrød... I går var jeg å
sjekket hva de hadde inne, i dag var jeg å skulle kjøpe noe og da var flere
hyller helt tomme...
Men jeg fikk meg tre sett; #8654 (499,- normalt 599,-), #8420 (359,-
normalt 439,-) og ett #7324 (134,- men ikke på tilbud).
Var også mange andre sett på tilbud, mange store Duplo sett blant annet.
Vet ikke om de forsøker å tømme før julerushet....
