Crusaders guarded church

It is my second bigger MOC and the first with a landscape/scenery.

Hope you like it!

Really nice church you've got there. The Architecture is brilliant, and the graves are a nice special feature. The only complaint I have is that the mid-section looks a little stubby, but apart from that it's a nice MOC!

Thank you for your comment, i am quite pleased with how it turned out.

With stubby you mean too short?

[Ye Olde Republic]

I think that's probably what he means. I too would've liked to see it be three window sections long instead of two as it does look a bit squished between the tower and the choir. This is just so meaty I deserves to be just a bit 'more'.
I like how you used those 1x4 hinges under the eaves. It's a really simple thing to do and it really draws the eye.

I would have liked to have done that as well, only one problem......... no more LEGO's unfortunately

[DarkTemplar]

Yep that's exactly what I meant. I have the same problem of being out of lego at the moment . Maybe you could have it as a future idea, I know most of my creations usually get put aside with a postit attached till money comes my way again

Great church. I like the way the arches in the middle section create the top-half of a 'clover leaf' design inside when viewed from one end. I also like the window covers/shutters and the way you displayed the draping flags outside the church.

I too like the grave idea. Great playability!

I love the arches you built over your door and in some of the windows, very nice looking. I'm glad you remembered to give the spearmen on top of the tower extra spears. The hiding forestman was a nice touch. The playability of the whole thing is great given all the figs (different types as well) and the opening graves, accessible building interior(s), etc. Thanks for showing a bit of how you built up the landscaping, that's something I'm working on learning right now and it was a great example. I like the periodic addition of the dark tiles to match the printed bricks on the panel pieces. The heraldry above the entrance was a nice borrowed touch. Those pews looked awesome, and who the heck thinks to put curtains in the windows? Very nice Since it looks as though the guy with the dog outside might be washing it, I'd perhaps add some foamy water up around the dog's feet area. Very nice MOC!
