Dissolution of a monastery 1536

[SlyOwl]

Henry VIII disbanded monasteries, friaries and nunneries in England between 1536-1541, essentially to take their money...

FIRST ! ! !

NICE ! ! !

OFF TO WORK ! ! !

[Milan]

Beautiful, dynamic and intelligently built!

Well done!

[General Armendariz]

I love the texture of the roof! very datailed Once again an amazingly detailed MOC from SlyOwl

[Rick]

The texture of the roof, the hole in the roof, the ornamental designs... it's just those 'tape tiles' again: they keep looking like... well, tapes... to me.

[Etzel]

Splendid work!

I agree with General A. and Rick, the roof is very nice and clever.

You did some really smart job on the big window, very complex and very good.

I really like the garden too, great work!

This is another fantastic piece of work, SlyOwl !

I love your Snot roof, but especially the hole with brown tiles...

The idea is very original, and as always very well build.

I love the fact that the Moc is split into 4 parts : each quarter have a unique style. I can even spot your famous little goat !!

And I like each top of walls : adding clips or pneumatic T gives a really great effect.

One question : I strong is the fountain ? Everything is keep in place with the rubber band ?

Anyway, you aim for the Master Builder title hum ?

This MOC is just so full of win! Things I love:

- The fence outside the monastery

- The arches inside the monastry

- The windows

- The roof with the wooden planks in it

- The table with the white cloth on it is lovely

- I love the printed tape tile as architectural detail

- The little goat outside

- The action posing of the figs

- And all the other bricks

Did you sharpy the hair on the heads?

Wonderful work Sly, just love all the small detail and action!

[Ras 74]

Very good work Sly. I am totally stunned.

So many very good details. The roof, windows, the fountain, the garden, the monks, the architecture details all over.

Never seen video tapes used in a old church before. What is the hands doing in that bin in the back? Is that a small goat as well?

The roof supports on the inside is really great as well. The legs looks really great

The action going on is really good as well.

I have no time to say more now, will go back and look some more.

[Rook]

This level of sickness is over whelming. Numerous unique details. Pay attention younglings lots of techniques to study and learn. Even a few for the old guys.

[Zorro]

So many details and nice minifigs...wonderfull!

You must have a lot of free time at your hands, building this many marvelous MOCs all of the time.

[the Inventor]

Great MOC SlyOwl.

Many great details, I really like the roof of your monastery and the fence outside the monastery.

And there is a fair amount of action going on, which is very nice.

[I Scream Clone]

One of your best works this year Sly! Lots of ingenious techniques from the roofing to the columns to the figure heads. The action is of course well posed as per usual. I wish you good luck with this entry.

[Tanotrooper]

Very nice work, love the roof and the windows. Great positioning of the figures aswell, like the monk using the spoon as a last resort

TT

[harrysnapperorgans]

I'm in awe . . . Wonderful detail, great concept, and great action.

[Bonaparte]

There's so many details and amazing techniques all over this MOC. If this was posted by any other builder I'd assume he worked a year on this, but in your case it probably was made in a week. Your the master SlyOwl!

[BlueBard]

I just saw it at flickr and I could not believe those amazing techniques! You showed us again you're a real Lego Artist SlyOwl, those crosses in the windows or the roof are... perfect

Nevertheless, let me make a little criticism for the first time The clothes and the armors are a bit too ancient for 1536, it was not the Middle Ages anymore, specially in England!

Hi SlyOwl

Extraordinary good use of pieces.

Nice detailing and a really clever way to brake up the roof with the planking.

and I really like the use of yellowed pieces for extra texturing.

The use of clips and round plates for texturing is done tastefully and has a really good balance to it.

All round superb creation. Only whish the Church was complete.

Kind regards,

Teddy

[Lolas]

A lot of details...

I love the roof!

[Ratshot]

This is one of the nicest church's that I've ever seen. Top work as usual SlyOwl

[Apache]

Sly Owl, Please keep building and sharing, I really love to look at your Mocs. I'm still laughing at the Friars fighting back with anything they have ie: Ladle

Excellent

[PittSOB]

This is amazing I've been staring at it for 10 minutes!

[CommanderFox]

Another Lovely MOC Sly Owl!

You just keep roling out fantastic MOCs!

I really like all the monks running round and all the confusion!

Really nice job with all the detaile aswell!

CommanderFox

[Holodoc]

And yet again - absolutely stunning!

The lovely details all have been mentioned before, the only thing I can add to this is:

How in all the world do you find the time to build all this???

I would be satisfied if I was able to build a small MOC in a month - you build 3-5 big ones in that time.

I'm so envious.
