alois Posted February 21, 2015 I wanted to built a church as a centerpiece for my town, Blokstad. churches are large compared to normal houses, so I had to find a compromise between realistic domensions and my wallet/available space in my Lego room. I decided to built a medieval Dutch church; it is not inspired by any church in particular but it could be the church of any village in Holland. This has another advantage: churches in Holland almost never have vaults, so no need building them. I only built one aisle, in order for it to fit on on two 48x48 baseplates; this also makes the building more interesting for the eye I think. The pictures: For more pictures, have a look at my flickr account. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dooberfloober Posted February 21, 2015 This is awesome! I love the brickwork, the altar, and the organ. This is super-realistic. Just as a side note, do you think that TLG doesn't make churches to avoid religious controversy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bennemans Posted February 21, 2015 The organ is fantastic and I love the color scheme! One suggestion: the clock face seems a little small to me, have you tried the (big) clock from Town Hall? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't want to make it too obvious that a Town Hall was used to build this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmynick Posted February 21, 2015 Very nice! The buttresses are so simple but they work very well, and so does the apse. I also like the different textures on the roof. I agree with Bennemans's comment about the clock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bennemans Posted February 21, 2015 I didn't want to make it too obvious that a Town Hall was used to build this Fair enough! you could try one of these with the clock in the middle, just to enlarge the face: I do agree with you btw that the fact your building is asymmetrical makes it more interesting! And the little white extension at the back is a very nice touch! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AFOLguy1970 Posted February 21, 2015 Great detail inside and out. I like the combination of dark orange and dark red on the building. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Braunsfeld Posted February 22, 2015 A great build - interior is also extremely well done (organ!). Good choice of colour for the church! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zed_43 Posted February 22, 2015 I really like that church! Nice color scheme, changes from the LBG. And the organ is really nice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kalais Posted February 23, 2015 Looks great! Good job with colors! Would be great for some Castle/Fantasy theme scene. I see hordes of barbarians or orcs/trolls runs to it and the noble knights defend the church ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alois Posted February 23, 2015 Would be great for some Castle/Fantasy theme scene. I see hordes of barbarians or orcs/trolls runs to it and the noble knights defend the church ;) It is a building in 2015 (hence posted in the Town forum), built in various other centuries, so knights or even orcs/trolls wouldn't belong here.
