That’s pretty sweet (and of obvious interest to me since I’ll have to build it myself eventually). Are there more photos of it? What’s the deal with all the shiny gold in the Holy of Holies? Is that LEGO? Are those the gold anniversary bricks or something?

The Holy-of-Holies is done entirely with gold 1x2 tiles and the tile modified with a ball.

The anniversary bricks are actually not that shiny. They have more of a duly gold color with little sparkly bits. Mike Crowley took a photo of them.

   I also want a give a general thanks to everyone for sharing their Brickfest 2005 photos. Its really great for all of us who couldn’t make it to see all the astounding MOCs that were on display there. I just wish there was some way to know who built what!

Oddly enough, the MOC card in front of it has the name of builer on it. Unforunately, the name is too blurry to read properly. Let me check if I can find another shot of the Solomon Temple with MOCCard that is more read-able.

   How can you crazy MOC builders not post to LUGNET with a write-up of these things? Take some credit for your bad selves!

The weirdest part of BrickFest each year is the amount of MOCs that are never photographed and posted online. Weird, weird, weird. One guy never heard of Lugnet until I told him about it. Weird.

(...) Yes! Now I see. (...) Ah, thanks for the link to that photo. (...) Orion was able to supply me with a hi-res photo of it, and from that it was clear that the builder is Mike Gibney, who I looked up on LUGNET and got in touch with over e-mail. (...)
