Architecture Contest: Ludwigskirche, Germany
Skalldyr replied to Skalldyr's topic in Special LEGO Themes
I tried that, but first: they are only available in gold, silver and copper.... But I would need them in tan. and second: Would TLG use them in a real architecture model... I think no. That's why I choose the tan cylinders. -

Architecture Contest: Ludwigskirche, Germany
Skalldyr replied to Skalldyr's topic in Special LEGO Themes
When I look at the poll and your comments... it seems you want to have more teaser! Well here is the next one. But I will post the real pictures today, so don't worry. I'm just having a bit of fun. In addition, I discovered a small mistake. I need to fix it but still have some time. -
Hello everybody, I had an long run in not building a single spot in LEGO. But when I saw the Architecture Building Contest, the fever got me again. So I used my newly sorted LEGO and built all night long. I'm very pleased with the result and here we go... It is an outstanding landmark in my Hometown. The 'Ludwigskirche' in Saarbrücken Also featured on our 2€ coins. The construction has started 250 years ago. And this year many events will take place around the church and I'll ask if I can display it in our new Lego store. Ludwigskirche in Old Saarbrücken, Germany, is a Protestant baroque style church. It is the symbol of the city and is considered to be one of the most important Protestant churches in Germany. History Ludwigskirche and the surrounding Ludwigsplatz (Ludwig's Square) were designed as a "complete work of art", in the sense of a baroque place royale, by Friedrich Joachim Stengel on the commission of Prince William Henry. Construction was begun in 1762. After the death of William Henry in 1768, work on it was stopped due to lack of funds. The church was finally completed in 1775 by his son, Louis, and it was also named after him. The consecration of the church took place on August 25, 1775, with a church service and a cantata composed especially for the occasion. In 1885-1887 and in 1906-1911, the church underwent restoration. During the Second World War, Ludwigskirche was severely damaged. After a bombing on October 5, 1944, only the surrounding walls remained. Rebuilding began in 1949, however it has still not been completed. A fundamental reason for this long delay was the fierce dispute, which lasted from the 1950s into the 1970s, about whether the baroque interior, which had been completely lost, should also be reconstructed. At first, it had been agreed to restore the exterior, with a modern interior, but this plan was finally abandoned. At this time (2007), the "Fürstenstuhl" (i.e., the princely seating in the gallery across from the organ) in the interior and some of the balustrade figures on the outside are still lacking. ~Wikipedia~ Facts: Architect ................

So we have space for 4 pictures. Does the picture of the real building is included? 3 LEGO 1 Real or is it: 4 LEGO and 1 Real? And can we show the model in front of the real building for the picture?

Kaliphlin Guild: Homepage, Sign-up and Discussion
Skalldyr replied to Si-MOCs's topic in Guilds of Historica
I like your description. But I think Kaliphlins are more attracted to the colour of blue since they like the water more than all the sand. And if the colour would be blue it would represent the crystal. .. ding ding ding! -

Eastern Archery Tournament in Mpya Stedor
Skalldyr replied to Maxim I's topic in Guilds of Historica
Nitnelav the Hobbit is from Buckland Avalonia. Not Mitgardia, even if Buckland lies close to the southern border of Mitgardia. -
Your link is missing www.brickshel"f.com/cgi-bin/galle"ry.cgi?f=496435 and the folder is not yet public. Maybe give us some deeplinks? As you did in the Nocturnus Topic.
