| (...) Neat! I had an urge to build something like this after reading (URL) The Book on the Bookshelf>, but never actually did it. You should do a couple of shelves with books chained to them. Working in a library myself, I can sympathize with the (...) (20 years ago, 22-Sep-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| Hey Bruce, nice job, reminds me of "Name of the Rose" without the poison ink. Great subject matter, great execution, great details...especially the pen/ink wells and recesses book-cases. I can almost hear the chanting in the background. -Keith (20 years ago, 22-Sep-04, to lugnet.castle)

I may have used something like that, but the first time I remember seeing robes and rubber bands used in that way was in Paul Janssen's "Large Church" MOC, posted back on 10/31/02: (2 URLs) got the choir in red and white, but also a priest in (...)
