WIP: Ancient Lady's Museum

[marcosbessa]

Hi! I haven't been building much latety, but once in a while I have to go upstairs and work on something, because my LUG's Big Anual Event is coming and I need to have everything ready for it!

Now, besides inviting you all to come to Portugal to visit us and our great event, I want to show you some pictures (only two, for now) of my biggest MOC ever! It's fully detailed, with interiors and a wide open back to see all the magnificence of an Ancient Lady..... It's still a wip, and it will be premiered in a month at ARTE em PEÇAS LEGO® Fan Event.

I'd really apreciate if you could help us promoting the event, by spreading the banners we have in the oficial site. I've created the artwork of the event, so be my guest and share it everywere you can to as many people as possible! ;)

If you need any particular information to help you to speak about the event, just let me know! Thanks in advance! ;)

Here you have some details of the event:

It will take place in Paredes de Coura - north of Portugal, between 7th and 13th of June.

We believe we will host the biggest and better LEGO event in the country, as in the past two years. You all are very welcome!

Cheers,

Marcos Bessa

The arches are fantastic and that column is just...WOW! I am eagerly awaiting some more of your pictures after this is finished. Looks great so far.

[Dannylonglegs]

Wow. All I can say is; Where's your Master Builder tag? The columns are... Perfect. This is beautiful.

Beautiful MOC Marcos. I love the color scheme, and the level of detail is outstanding. Those columns are superb.

[Commodore Hornbricker]

It is simply fantastic. The colors and design details are perfect. The windows are my favorite. I will definately return to view this creation many times. Excellent job.

[Spyder]

I'm a sucker for those types of stairs, and do you mind showing how you accomplished that amazing half-sphere at the top of the pillar? And then I just can't get over the color scheme-Dark Blue-Beautiful!

Simply Stupendous work!

One of the best City Buildings I've ever seen! Congratulations on such splendid ideas (the details of the 6 wide windows are the best!)

No, I used only two... The way I did the entrance and the stairs, coundn't be other way.... And I believe it looks good! ;)

Thank you, Teddy!

[marcosbessa]

Some people were asking me how I did the columns, mainly the top of it. So here are some pictures. I hope they can help you to understand how I built it. ;)

[georgivar]

f@cking insane.

I've recently stumbled upon the forum of the portugese LUG and it was full of beautiful buildings. But this is simply amazing. Good luck with the exhibition and I'm looking forward for pictures.

[marcosbessa]

Hi there!

The time of our event has come: Arte Em Peças!

And you can already see some photos of us preparing it, here (photos by Rui Pinto).

Amoung them, there's some of my Museum.... and of its interior! :D

Here you have one of them:

[Milan]

Ohhh, man!

The inside of the Museum is equally impressive!

The details!!!

The stairs, the curtains, the statue, the floor!!!

Awesome!

[blhc11]

Awesome building, I just wanted to mention one "off-topic" fact, the portuguese LUG(PLUG... original right?) and the 0937 are different things...

none the less this is a great moc, I hope I can see it when I'm out of school =D... I don't know when it is/was.

[marcosbessa]

My LUG is Comunidade 0937, and it's a portuguese LUG as well....... Thanks for the first part of your comment, the rest I can't understant why you wrote it......

And this MOC, amoung many others from Comunidade 0937 members can be seen at Arte Em Peças, in Paredes de Coura, until June 13th! ;)
