Latest MOC: The Belfry in Bruges

Post by Reejoc »

This is the first time I've built something from the real world. It took over a month to build with accurate scaled dimensions. It's 5'2" tall and separates into 4 pieces for transportation:

As I said on MOCpages, the details and architecture are both very well done. Excellent work.

I've been to Burges (we call it "Brugge") once, and i was greatly impressed by that tower. It's huge!
Your reconstruction looks really good. The gothic details look wonderful, and the scale is impressive.

This is great, lovely detailing - it's missing just one thing: a Brendan Gleeson minifig in the top window :tasty:

The details on this are incredible. I especially like how you did the "Y" supports in the windows, the conical spires, and the details around the balcony. Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed looking through all your pictures.

Yeah, this is magnificent. Absolutely gorgeous. I agree with Karrde though, Brendan Gleeson ought to be here somewhere. ;)
...and that's how Equestria was made!

It's been a month or so since I've been on here, and I've missed quite a bit! This is incredible. I love the amount of detail you put into this! I like your small "spires" around the sides; they look very realistic. Keep up the good work!
