Thats brilliant! Thanks so much for those, they will be a real help. I saw this image in the gothic section http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Gotic3d2.jpg I think a strip and re-build is in the works. Looking at those centre pilars I think to get that level of detail I'm going to have to build a bi...

Its cool if you wanted to go with that style, I guess I just assumed that you were aiming for a high gothic church To be honest, I havn't really got much of a clue at the moment. I understand that romanesque style arches are round and gothic ones are pointy but that's where my knowledge ends! I'm g...

Thanks for the suggestions on the layout,

I'd copied this to start

I'll try the moves you suggested and see how it goes.
Thanks

That looks awesome! Are there interiors yet? I never did an interior for this one, I did think about it but decided against it in the end. The Abbey has now been taken apart so I can work on my next project. This is a practice run on the first section of my gothic cathedral. http://www.brickshelf.c...

wow, thanks all! As I said earlier, I am quite pleased with this one. that looks great! Did you just build it or did you have a photo? No, no photo, this one started out half the size and was just going to be a fortified house on a rocky outcrop, but I liked the windows so much I kept adding them, w...

Here's my next creation. deep links: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/stuart2010/Abbey/100_2553.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/stuart2010/Abbey/100_2561.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/stuart2010/Abbey/100_2562.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/stuart2010/Abbey/100_2564.jpg folder ...

Thanks all,
I'm def gonna go with the light gray frames, I took a look at all the other colours available and they just wouldn't go with what I wanted.

I now seem to spend most of my time awaiting parts!

Thats a good idea, I'd need 46 of them so it's more than feasible. I might order some and see what it looks like. It's definetly supposed to be a residence so windows will make it look complete and occupied. Another BrickLink attack coming on! What colour for the frames maybe light gray? I just adde...

The Burps will be filled in a bit more with more dark gray and the some foliage. The tower floating is because of my lack of dark gray and my impatience! I couldn't help starting the tower. :D When my dark gray arrives the tower base will be blended in to the surrounding Burps and the stairs to the ...

I was wandering about the windows.
I wasn't planning to do anything inside but with all the arches you can see straight through it. Should I try and black them out somehow?

Here is my new MOC (in progress). Built on 4 16x32 baseplates http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/stuart2010/New/100_2420.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/stuart2010/New/100_2421.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/stuart2010/New/100_2422.jpg Still lots to do, I'm waiting on loads more light an...

I use lots and lots and lots of these: http://www.reason8.com/clients/restaurantsupplies-foilcontainers-takeawaycontainers-foodcontainers/prod2.cfm?product=29075 They stack easily. I've sorted by colour then by part. EG: I have 7 stacks of black parts. Each stack is 10 high. 1 stack contains all pla...

Here's another evenings work. gallery when public: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=315571 A few deep links: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/stuart2010/Tower2/100_2342.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/stuart2010/Tower2/100_2344.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/stuart2010/T...

Well done, you spotted my architectural mistake. haha.

I Didn't mean it to turn out that way because it wasn't till I was at the top of building the tower that I knew what was going to be on top. So when I chose the arches design it was a bit off.

I may rebuild it tonight to get it right.
