|
| | | Greetings all, I give you the monastery, the latest MOC from the Galactic Inquisition. This was inspired by the awesome floating idlands in the castle room at this year's brickfest. I decided that I needed to build one, and then thought I needed (...) (20 years ago, 10-Oct-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.announce, lugnet.build, FTX) !!

| | | | | (...) I love it. The concept just can't be beaten, and I'm going to be scouting around for some cheap tan bricks to build an asteroid base of my own. My favorite detail is the hangar, I just love the way it looks. As a monastery I think it falls a (...) (20 years ago, 10-Oct-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | Wow, just amazing. Is it even possible to make something this cool? I love the hanger doors on the front. Now all I need to do is make a Drop Troopers Moonbase. (20 years ago, 10-Oct-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | (...) Awesome. Really, really awesome. I don't know what else to say. Ok, maybe I do. The asteroid itself is easily the best I've seen rendered in Lego; it's surprisingly organic. As for the monastery, great integration with the rock and nice use of (...) (20 years ago, 10-Oct-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | (...) All I can say is WOW. This is one very interesting base. The size alone is increadible, not to mention all the cool details like the landing bay and bell tower (Keith does have a few good ideas left I see!). Very cool and can't wait for the (...)

| | | | | (...) Sweet idea. Monasteries are cool as it is, asteroid-built monasteries are even better. I especially like the shape of the landing bay. The 'bell' tower is hot too. Good work, man. Roy (20 years ago, 10-Oct-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(Okay that wasn't said yet specifically and bad pun intended! ;-) Anyway, I think the smooth design of the architecture pitted against the rough organic form works well. All of the detailing is awesome (...) (20 years ago, 10-Oct-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

As for minifigs, how about a creepy cyborg monk with the hydronauts face? You (...) (20 years ago, 10-Oct-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | Impressive! I really like the effect of the rough, organic asteroid combined with the smooth artificial monastery. In general these monks seem more benign than the rest of the Inquisition; perhaps in their secluded location they don't take part in (...) (20 years ago, 10-Oct-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | Hi Dan, What a nice & neat idea! From floating rocks to fitting out an asteroid with a monastry, here is a way I wouldn't have found! This MOC really is the *perfect* addition to your theme. I am thinking "Name of the Rose" when I see it. A library, (...) (20 years ago, 11-Oct-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
