Someone mentioned these pics to me and I felt compelled to share them to
others since the photographer, Sandy Kostow, did not post these to Lugnet.
So first to Sandy, if you are lurking, thanks for taking the pics and hope
don't mind my posting the link since you don't seem to post much. If anyone
knows how to get a hold of Sandy, I will be glad to send him a link to the
post. Please LMK.

Being one of the biggest ninja/Japan/Asia fan, the pics here show some
really jaw-dropping, eye-popping renditions of buildings - a donjon with the
small outworks (best guess from pics, this would be Osaka-jo), temple shrine
gate (green/brown w gray roof), dark gray sitting buddha, kinkakuji ("golden
pavillion", yellow 2 story building on pond), torii gate (red gate over water
and a full street scene with a bullet train station and buildings surrounding
it, all in fairly large scale.
The donjon at a guess would be 7+ feet high and shows you don't need a lot
of ninja rock walls (panels 4x4x6) to make the outer walls - just an
unlimited budget to buy about a million light gray plates. lol !!
Just the incredible amount of detail on the roof work alone is astounding !
The temple shrine gate looks like tiles made from dark gray 1x1 round bricks
and technic round tubes for accents.
Must be nice to work in such large scale. But as an AFOL, this is truly
great stuff and hope you like this too. If I did not want to go to Billund
or Legoland before, this kind of display just put it on the top 10 things to
do before I check out of life. Cheers !!
