Lasse Posted August 5, 2013 Together with my mother Anne Mette I have build the Adventist Church in Roskilde, Denmark. The church was built in 1963. The LEGO version was built to celebrate the 50 years anniversary in 2013. Photos of the real church: More photos of our MOC can be seen here: http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=532249 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) This is beautiful 'Lasse', the detailing is perfect and I know about realistic detailing.......the camp fire scene is a nice touch as well. The church design is spot on, the doors and that high pitched roof with cross........a huge ........Brick On 'Lasse' !

JopieK Posted August 5, 2013 Very nice Lasse! Also nice to have some church life around it, youth activities included ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alfadas Posted August 5, 2013 Good work! I have been there, in Roskilde, when I was on holiday in Kopenhagen, I go to Denmark every year, not only to LEGOLAND, but also the rest of Denmark. I saw this church, and it looked cool, and I like it someone build it in LEGO! Are you a adventist yourself? I am catholic, but I like the shape of this church. Keep the MOCs coming!

Wedge09 Posted August 5, 2013 That's great :thumbup: the MOC is very close to the real church Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eurotrash Posted August 5, 2013 There's so much to enjoy in this MOC; that sweeping curved wall is fantastic!, the steeply pitched roof is excellent and you've used a great technique there, the way you've handled the natural slope to the site is perfect, but I think my favorite part is actually the windows. It's simply done, and very, very effective. Thank you sharing it with us! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dvsntt Posted August 5, 2013 Spot on, it is perfect! Looks just like the real one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lasse Posted August 5, 2013 Are you a adventist yourself? Yes. The day where the anniversary was celebrated the MOC was exhibited in the church. When I was younger I was also member of the Scout club and I have been sitting around the bonfire many times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Redhead1982 Posted August 5, 2013 You did a great job rebuilding the church with bricks. It looks amazing, and the different shapes and angles of the walls and roof are really well done. My favourite detail(s) are the the dark green trees, I can't figure out how they're built, and I haven't seen this technique before - it looks fantastic.

SwissBrick Posted August 5, 2013 Hi Lasse, excellent work!!! I am not fond of modern architecure churches usually, but I must admit, yours looks fantastic!!! Even better than the real building in my opinion. The landscaping is perfect as well! Thanks for sharing and inspiring! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
F0NIX Posted August 5, 2013 Love this creation! Just stunning work! Now I'm sure the new MOC i'm thinking of will be possible. It also have a lot of strange angles on the walls. And I also spot a nice solution for the terrain around it. Good work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jluck Posted August 5, 2013 Really well done! Not only is the church a great recreation, the design for its display is just awesome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kristel Posted August 5, 2013 This is stunning! I love the curved wall, the steeply pitched roof and how you've done the pine trees. Very true to the real building as well. Well done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

timmyc1983 Posted August 6, 2013 This is a wonderful build that curved wall and the roof very spectacular!! You've managed to capture the real building's look flawlessly! Well done! Great work and happy building Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aussie BJ Posted August 6, 2013 Very, very nice MOC Lasse! I love how the families have the same hair color and the elderly have grey hair. Just small thing but really make a difference. I love the pram and may have to pinch the design for an upcoming display. Many thanks for sharing this grand design. Cheers Brendan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KringlesBricks Posted November 13, 2014 Beautiful and amazingly built! Absolutely eye catching. You did a fantastic job brick-building it from the photos above using cool building techniques! Will you be displaying this?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sven F Posted November 14, 2014 Fantastic looking build. I love it when these super realistic sculpture mocs are made in minifig scale, it's more challenging, but it adds life to it. Its great that you can light a bonfire around the church, I am not religious, but a bonfire might have persuaded me to get up on Sunday mornings. I haven't been to Denmark yet, but have noticed in Finland that the whole church culture was much more modest in design and decor and more open to things like music and socializing compared to the south.
