Pdaitabird Posted July 20, 2019 Hi all, this is a MOC of a small church for my continuously changing train layout. Thanks to @LittleJohn and @soccerkid6 for the techniques used for the door, the upper alcove, and the stained glass. These and many other building techniques can be found in their extremely helpful Medieval Tutorials topic.

I made his signature clerical hat by grinding and painting a crossbowman's helmet.

IMG_0914 by the chestertonian, on Flickr The hatch above the rose window conceals a secret. Purists be warned: the following photos contain non-Lego electrical components!

Thanks for looking! Soli Deo Gloria Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ks6349 Posted July 24, 2019 If you create an "Expert" Catholic church with details inside, I will buy bricks and follow your works. But hope you get bricks from sets, so that it's easier to get the ingredients Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
