CCC XII - Monastery of the Sunflowers

[Adolfo]

Hello, dear AFOLs!

This is my entry for CCC XII, category “Miscellaneous – Small Creation”.

It’s the first time I participate of this traditional and famous annual contest in LEGO castle universe and I’m so happy to have time and opportunity to build this MOC. This year, I’ll participate only in this category just for fun.

The basic concept here was to practice a little bit more with the techniques concerning rocks, mixing parts of my last two creations, putting together singular trees and remembering a beautiful flower. I also added a special minifigure for upcoming celebrations.

The final result you can check on the pictures bellow and in my Flickr profile. Enjoy and Merry Christmas to all!

I like the build and it has a lot going for its relatively small footprint, but is there a reason for the mix of yellow minifig heads and flesh colored ones? Just a personal preference, but I like to see all of one or the other.

Thanks for the comment! The reason for mixing minifigs is because, unfortunately, I don't have many of them and I need to do that sometimes, especially the facial expressions. I hope solve this problem soon.

How lovely. How nice and brilliantly designed.

The rockwork is solid, the design simple and elegant - very well done!

Very nice, I love the simple colour scheme, and the flowers everywhere, but do they grow in vines?

Hummm...I'm not sure, but in the LEGO universe everything is possible!
