[MOC] Samurai Shrine

[zergu]

hi, this is my latest lego custom.. this time i focused more on micro builds.

some parts are shamelessly imitated from Skrytsson's Japanese Teahouse MOC

- hi Skrytsson i truly admire ur MOC and hope you'll be ok with my sincerest form of flattery :)

thanks for viewing and hope u like the details i put in.. all c&c welcome

a 'torii' gate marks an entrance.. a transition from profane to sacred

small lanterns along the path to the shrine

small island with tree and vegetation

a 'taiko' drum in front of the shrine

There are only so many ways you can build a specific style of building with a finite set of bricks, so there's no need to be apologetic lol

I think the water could use work, but cool build otherwise. Makes me want to build a little shack for the few ninjas I have floating around.

This MOC looks great. The little gold studs hanging from the roof and the gate both create an excellent effect.

Excellent work! The building itself is great and the landscaping sets it off nicely

The little details like the lanterns, drum, and light brick add a lot too

thanks! yup the water needs more work.. probably some transitions from blue-lightblue-white would have helped :)

thanks and glad you noticed those details! sometimes details can be so minor and we wonder whether its worth having them at all.. instead of using the same bricks elsewhere

thank you! glad you liked those small little details, makes having them worthwhile :)

I particularly like the interior. Simple but classic.

Whoa, pretty cool! I like the torii and the use of light brick. Interesting technique on the ladder.

Nice MOC, especailly with the top of the Shirine and the island next to it!

It might be a good idea to put a couple trans-yellow round (or otherwise) plates on the lanterns though!
