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 more Inquisition, and generally space stuff, so it became a base built
into an asteroid.
The monastery is a place for peaceful contemplation of the universe’s
mysteries. Alternatively, that awesome bell tower (thanks for the bell tower
idea to Keith Goldman) is actually a powerfull sensor array. The monks have
several terminals for data tracking at their disposal. There are bunks for
five, and a single bathroom. Unlike you other sin-filled, bidet using,
frenchies, there’s toilet paper in the bathroom. Other features include two
star-fighters... for shooting down rouge asteroids, and a spacious landing
bay. There is also a coupling for docking with the standard 8 stud diameter
Inquisition hatches, it can dock with the SoM, though I didn’t take any pics
of this.

Dan,
As has been said, this thing rocks! (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 (gotta love the roll of TP...as opposed to the equipment of those
“bidet-loving” regulars, lol). Also, I’m wondering if you saw the new Miller
“High Life” commercial as it appears that next to the monks’ hot and cold
faucets is one for a keg. Or am I mistaken? Heh.
The bell tower does help the design a lot and I think the various hatches are
neat. As for the new fighters, I like the VTOL design and also the magnetic
attachments (I presume they can take off from a position like that of a TIE?).
Alright, thanks for sharing and keep up the grandiose work.
