New MOC: Albirona's Hall
New MOC: Albirona's Hall
Hello!
Today I present the sheer MOC, the story will follow later.
This is Santa Maria Naranco, a preromanesque palace hall near Oviedo, Spain. Built by King Ramiro I. (842-50) for prestigious purposes, but it was later on changed into a churche dedicated to Maria, thus the name.
And this is, what I made of it:
Yes, I'm guilty of laziness. I didn't fix the loose bricks in the vault before I took the pictures... Maybe I'll fix that later.
The reason why it is called "Albirona's Hall" I'll tell when I have written the story, more precisely when I'll have written and translated the story. There will be additional pictures then. (Bruce, be patient! )
Bye

This is just the sort of nonsense up with which I will not put.

This moc looks really good. I love the ceiling. And those trees are just awesome. Great job!
The mottled look also looks great.
At first glance I thought there was a big smily face on the floor.

Stunning work, as always. I absolutely love the vaulted ceiling. It really looks big in the inside photos. The trees are masterpieces too. Was the real building actually mottled, or was it originally overlaid with another lighter(tan) stone that has since mostly fallen(or been stripped) away, since the tan seems to be more grouped around the corners? The roof is very nice, too. So many of those little roof slopes...Very nice.

Once again you demonstrate why you are the master, and we are but students. This masterwork is chalk full of fantastic ideas. I absolutely love the arched ceiling!
Oh, and Jojo, you are truly the master of furniture. Your solutions to furniture design are unequaled! Its been a long time since I've enjoyed a castle MOC this much!!
(Oh and for the floor did you use grey and the light grey included in mosaics?)
Just brilliant!
Later.

This is incredible!
I really love the building. I remember seeing it a while back when your exchanged fig arrived for Christmas, I was hoping that this would be your next moc.
I like the fact that it is based off a real building, which I might add I am shocked that it is till standing and in good condition!
I really like the building, it is interesting to use it for the purpose that you do.

The trees are by far my favourite part, yet the ceiling is amazing too. Awesome creation, I love all the little detail.

I love it. Absolutely amazing. I love the trees, and will definately be stealing that design. Also the combination of tan and greys has an interesting effect. I like how the cats are around that barrell of fish. The drawers on the dresser are also very nicely done, as is the china closet. I must ask, where did the light pink wizard hat come from? And for that matter the light pink minifig body? And those blue window panes?
