| This is an LDRAW creation of a fantasy temple I designed. It is a curious blend of Western and Eastern architectural styles. (URL) main page is here: (URL) comments are welcome! Brad (24 years ago, 17-Oct-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle, lugnet.build.arch) !

| (...) You sure do have a good knack for architecture. =) That's a really nice design with some interesting details. Did you design that "in the real world" first and then LDraw it? ~Nathan (24 years ago, 18-Oct-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle, lugnet.build.arch)

| (...) Wow! I've never used LDraw but I can imagine that making something that big in that program without having something real to base it on was some hefty piece of work to accomplish. It looks great! =) ~Nathan (24 years ago, 18-Oct-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle, lugnet.build.arch)

| Fantastic, as usual Brad! I've been toying with a roof idea similar to this, but it's good to see a finished version just to see if my idea would work.

Those inverse arches are somewhat hard to come buy, although perhaps someone has a brick-bay deal that might make it posible. I think I have about 8-12 (...)

Used as the edge of a roof, it is very remeniscent of European roof lines. (24 years ago, 19-Oct-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle, lugnet.build.arch)
