  Re: Emerald Chapel
 
Thanks for the compliments. I actually had a bit of a hard time with this one. I started out trying to build a big cathedral, but realized I didn't have the bricks, so then I downsized, and downsized again. Then, I thought it would look cool right (...)

  Re: Emerald Chapel
 
(...) You've done it again, what an exquisite structure. I probably would not have put trans-green and white together, but it works, and so do the chrome details. Interesting use of the Belville elements and it's good to see the green flames get a (...) (24 years ago, 8-Mar-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town)

(...) Oh ya, I forgot to mention that I LOVED the use of the bathtub. I have one myself and have never seen it used in anything outside of my collection. I got a real kick out of seeing it in your moc. Mark P (24 years ago, 8-Mar-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town)
 
  Re: Emerald Chapel

That is a great looking cathedral...loved the buttresses (support columns on the sides to help hold up the roof!!!) looked very life-like but also very creative at the same time... pretty nice scale too....and I liked how it meshed in with (...)

  Re: Emerald Chapel
 
Some people were asking where I got all those trans-green pieces: The large trans green corner at the back of my cathedral comes in 6199. This set has 2 of them. You may be able to find this for half price in the stores. I've also seen them on (...) (24 years ago, 9-Mar-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town)

Hi Ben, The other cathedral is from a completely different city called Aqua-Metropolis. It is an undersea town and can be found here: (URL) cathedral was my first attempt at a large church.

Hmm - I never thought about exactly what was supposed to be happening with that implement. It is actually supposed to be a small staff (its a Star Wars lightsaber with a trans-green thingy on the end). I figured that he just waved it around and (...)

Thanks Those bath-tubs are hard to use because they are the wrong scale. Previously, I used one as a swimming pool in my hotel resort.

Alan hasn't been quite as devilish lately. In fact, he's been lowering rates. I just wish he had lowered them faster. If he had lowered them 2 weeks earlier, he probably could have saved me about $30-$40 month on my mortgage. ben medinets (...)
