Hello!
I just putted my church online (
http://www.geocities.com/sonnichj/lego/church.htm ), but that doesn't mean
that my design will no longer change.
I have had the following questions for a long time:
1.
The tower is always towards West?!?! My local church points east if I am right.
2.
If the doors are not in the tower, then they are at south or north? A friend
says South.
Any chance of doors on the opposite end of the tower?
3.
The weapons house (correct english) is at the opposite end of the tower AFAIK.
4.
Could anyone give the correct English words? Tower, weapon houce (the small
addition on the side), the ship?!?! (largest part), and the small addition
at the opposite end of the tower.
Best regards
Sonnich Jensen
PS: from November 23rd please respond to sonnich@my-deja dot com

| Nice. I like a lot of different things about it. I like the very small transept and choir. Usually small churches are purely rectangular. Only larger buildings tend to exhibit the cross-like geometry. I like how this one has the mini-transept and (...) (24 years ago, 23-Nov-00, to lugnet.build.arch)
