Hi!  I have created my very first Brickshelf gallery and uploaded some
MOC pics.  Comments and critiques are of course most welcome.  First is
a church which I've been working on recently (especially since passing
my thesis defense a couple of weeks ago).  Yeah for bulk packs from S@H
and easy parts availability from Bricklink!  Here are a couple of
"overview" shots:

Here are front, side, and back images.  Note the bell in the bell tower,
and of course in the back image there's the stained-glass window (which
looks OK in the picture but could use some internal backlighting, I
think).

This could be a candidate for the Lucnyville Community Church, perhaps,
if Lucnyville has room for a place of worship.  I don't recall that
anybody else had been assigned this task.  There are also some internal
furnishings, btw, but I'm not entirely done with that part.

I also have some pics of older structures.  Here's a barn I built a few
years ago, with a silo of recent addition.  The silo is cool (so I and
Tina both think, at least), but not entirely to scale.  Farmer Bob can
be seen in the first picture happily putting along on his Minneapolis
Moline (ol' Minny), and the second pic contains a little better view of
the silo.

I used to have an elevator and hay wagon, but I must've taken them apart
for some reason because I can't find them now.  I would've included a
good shot of Farmer Bob and his boys bucking haybales into the haymow
otherwise.

Here's a house initially designed by Tina (I rebuilt it to code ;-).
It's only a facade, but I woudn't mind rebuilding it as a boxy type of
house--I just need more parts (but don't we all...).

And finally, a shot of the railroad tunnel.  It appears I also scavenged
some parts from this awhile ago (gray parts always being in short
supply), but you can get the general picture:

The mouth opening is 10 studs wide, and it's 24 studs wide and 36 studs
long in total.  It's also between 11 and 12 bricks high at the point
where it starts to arch, so it can easily accommodate tracks and a
pretty tall (and wide) train.

(...) Congrats Alan! (...) I think this would make a great little church for Lucnyville. I really like the bell tower. (...) Just the other day I was thinking about trying to figure out how to create a barn. Then today you posted a very nifty barn. (...) (22 years ago, 19-May-02, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)
