Minifig Lecturer Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 I went on a short trip to the mountains yesterday and came across a 6th century monastery which I think could inspire a nice MOC by some of you Castle and Viking fans. It was built around the time of the Vikings I believe, and as they used to raid the village the tower's door was 30metres above the ground (rope ladder used to climb up and pull up when under attack) I also came across some sheep, which I think would be neat if TLC created. A graveyard too seems apt with all the new skeletons. EDIT by Hinckley: Calvin, this Brickshelf folder seems to have been moved... Quote
Legocastlegirl Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Hi Calvin, thanks fot that nice pics! Do you know the name of the monastery? I´m very interested about old stuff in Ireland, that´s why i´m asking. I like the idea of building something like that. The only problem IMO are the roundtowers. Could it be that they are smaller then light towers for example? But i like the idea of the graveyard. Greetings Sandra Quote
Athos Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 The pictures don't seem to be working for me. Steve Quote
Hinckley Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 The folder seems to have been removed from Brickshelf. I wonder if the moderators unapproved it because it wasn't construction toy pics. I seem to remember them doing that recently to someone else... Quote
Minifig Lecturer Posted March 20, 2008 Author Posted March 20, 2008 Apologies all! I guess Brickshelf deleted them as they weren't LEGO. Here's a pic or 2 from the web of what I had Legocastlegirl, the monastery is in a valley called Glendalough. Round tower would be difficult to make but I think possible maybe. Quote

Minifig Lecturer Posted March 20, 2008 Author Posted March 20, 2008 Hmmm, that's rather... uhmm... phallic... Steve Another reason why it would be a good MOC IMO :)) Quote
iamded Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 (edited) Hmmm, that's rather... uhmm... phallic... Steve Nonsense! It's just a large erect tower... :-P EDIT: Oh yes, nice finds Calvin, the 3rd pic, the actual building, would look great in bricks. (Lego bricks that is.) *y* ~Peace Edited March 20, 2008 by iamded Quote
