Dfenz Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 This is my latest MOC. Its based on St Ann's church in Dawson Street Dublin although its not an exact replica. It took about 5 weeks to complete. It still needs some minor decals but the heavy lifting is done. It has lots of 'stained-glass' windows and has three separate sets of LED lights. I've used the wheel in the General Grevious bike to create the central window. The mosaic in the courtyard pavement isn't my own design - its based on a design in the Beautiful Lego book. The adjoining building has yet to be equipped with furniture but Bfenz is working on that. Its also got lighting, this time built into ceilings and walls via a cavity section which also feeds staircase and rear security lights.

robuko Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Fabulous! Gothic is one of the biggest challenges for Lego, this looks great. So many really nice solutions. I love the use of droid arms, crossbows, the wheel. I can't quite work out what you have done over the lower left windows or with the white railing on top, but they look very creative too. What is the cross over the small door please? Lovely build! Quote
TheLazyChicken Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 What an amazing job! I like all the great uses of some parts, keep up the good work! Quote
BEAVeR Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 This is fabulous! Not only have you made an amazing building, but you've made it suitable to the environment of your city. The curch is really nice, with both romanic and gothic influences. You've portrayed that beautifully in bricks. The windows are especially nice, with the droid arms, giant wheels and whatnot. Those are some believable gothic windwos for this scale! The lighting is really the cherry on top. That picture is just beautiful! All the different crosses you've added are a really nice theme of recurring, yet creativily different elements. And finally, erything blends together so perfectly, you barely notice it's LEGO at all. All the layers are really good. My only remarks would be that the timpane seems a little empty (though I don't know how this relates to your example), and generally I'm missing some microfig statues... Finally, I don't think the church stands out well next to that grey building. Since it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the church, I would place a different colored building there. What is the cross over the small door please? Lovely build! If I'm not mistaking, its a pneumatic T-bar held by a clip, placed above a 1x2 plate with vertical bar. A very creative solution indeed! Very nice creation! This is one of the most believable and beautiful churches I've seen in a town layout! Quote
Kristel Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Stunning work! The extent of the details that you've captured in this church is just incredible and so try to the real thing. Well done! Quote
neonic Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 wow, it's amazing all those 'weird' use of bricks to create all those arches and stuff, it's great. very creative. always like gothic stuff, and to see it as a lego version, it looks great. that lighted windows looks good too. only the white stuff I think it's a bit .... doesn't fit actually, imo.

ScotNick Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 That looks co beautiful, all the windows and arches... just perfect! The entrance catches my eye as well! Quote

eurotrash Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Stunning well executed. I tip my hat to you! Quote
jimmynick Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 The windows really make this MOC - the stonework around the tall windows, and the ring around the round window especially. They look great on their own, but because you installed LEDs, they become much more vibrant. Great work! Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Very impressive build Dfenz! It looks absolutely enormous and se detailed. Well done Quote
greg3 Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 That is a fantastic looking building! The windows especially stand out with all the detail around them. Excellent stuff! Quote
Faefrost Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Simply amazing. Words fail me. The windows alone are staggering. Quote
Hobbythom Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Really great build. This deservers close up pictures of all the great details! Inspire us some more! Quote
finnbricker Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Wonderful MOC! I'd appreciate a close-up on the pavement mosaic. It looks really nice and I'd like to use it in some way in my city as well. Quote
Loves Houses Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Wow! The cathedral top window really has the wow effect. Grand building. ... and the woman at the left stole my pullover - scandal :grin: Quote
The Player Nº1 Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Huge MOC! Liked very much the vitrine! Quote
Only Sinner Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Wow, that's amazing. This church would make a fine addition to any larger layout. I am envious of your engineering ability! Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Wow what a huge masterpiece! I love the windows and the gothic style of the whole building! :wub: The inner lights are a great touch! Quote
Man with a hat Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Wow, I love those stained glass windows. It livens up the building so much. I am especially impressed by the big round window above the entrance. I assume that it is the rectory is next to the church. Nice to include that! Quote
