Greetings all,
I give you the monastery, the latest MOC from the Galactic Inquisition. This was
inspired by the awesome floating idlands in the castle room at this year’s
brickfest. I decided that I needed to build one, and then thought I needed more
Inquisition, and generally space stuff, so it became a base built into an
asteroid.
The monastery is a place for peaceful contemplation of the universe’s mysteries.
Alternatively, that awesome bell tower (thanks for the bell tower idea to Keith
Goldman) is actually a powerfull sensor array. The monks have several terminals
for data tracking at their disposal. There are bunks for five, and a single
bathroom. Unlike you other sin-filled, bidet using, frenchies, there’s toilet
paper in the bathroom. Other features include two star-fighters... for shooting
down rouge asteroids, and a spacious landing bay. There is also a coupling for
docking with the standard 8 stud diameter Inquisition hatches, it can dock with
the SoM, though I didn’t take any pics of this.

| (...) I love it. The concept just can't be beaten, and I'm going to be scouting around for some cheap tan bricks to build an asteroid base of my own. My favorite detail is the hangar, I just love the way it looks. As a monastery I think it falls a (...) (20 years ago, 10-Oct-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Awesome. Really, really awesome. I don't know what else to say. Ok, maybe I do. The asteroid itself is easily the best I've seen rendered in Lego; it's surprisingly organic. As for the monastery, great integration with the rock and nice use of (...) (20 years ago, 10-Oct-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) All I can say is WOW. This is one very interesting base. The size alone is increadible, not to mention all the cool details like the landing bay and bell tower (Keith does have a few good ideas left I see!). Very cool and can't wait for the (...)

| (...) Dan, As has been said, this thing rocks! (Okay that wasn't said yet specifically and bad pun intended! ;-) Anyway, I think the smooth design of the architecture pitted against the rough organic form works well. All of the detailing is awesome (...) (20 years ago, 10-Oct-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

As for minifigs, how about a creepy cyborg monk with the hydronauts face? You (...) (20 years ago, 10-Oct-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| Impressive! I really like the effect of the rough, organic asteroid combined with the smooth artificial monastery. In general these monks seem more benign than the rest of the Inquisition; perhaps in their secluded location they don't take part in (...) (20 years ago, 10-Oct-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| Hi Dan, What a nice & neat idea! From floating rocks to fitting out an asteroid with a monastry, here is a way I wouldn't have found! This MOC really is the *perfect* addition to your theme. I am thinking "Name of the Rose" when I see it. A library, (...) (20 years ago, 11-Oct-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| The Monastery is awesome!!! The hatches, the hangar, the fighters, the Toilet Paper are all awesome additions to this oustanding MOC. However, as with some others I don't see the Monastery in this. Perhaps you could add some torches to the walls to (...) (20 years ago, 11-Oct-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| Oh wow, that is tottaly great! I like the way you built it and the concept made tangible is just too cool! Teriffic work. The vision is yours. I enjoyed looking through the gallery. Thank you for sharring. e (20 years ago, 11-Oct-04, to lugnet.space)

| Rubin, you talentless hack...the only good thing about this moc is the bell-tower, and even that is poorly executed. Go home and get your shine box! -Keith That main door is pretty epic, and the angel-shrine area...but you choked by not having some (...) (20 years ago, 11-Oct-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Also, thanks to everyone for all their praise, and for (...) (20 years ago, 12-Oct-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
