Not too bad... the best part has to be the flowers and decorations on the top, above the statue. I wonder... are they spray painted? I've never seen flower pieces of that color... but that doesn't really mean they don't exist.

Nice little MOC.

McBricker is purist. She don't cut or paint any Lego.

The flowers you can find in many sets:

Do you want 40 of them? I got an overload.

Nic little scene, alot of inspiring stuff in one and the same structure.

Nice detailing. The setting of the pics comes across a little creepy...

God Bless,

That is some good detailing. I can't say I've seen a flower piece in that color either. I have a lot of red, blue, white, and yellow ones but none in tan.

I like the statue the best. Thanks for pointing this out, Bruce.

Both flowers sure look like white to me, and not tan.

That's a cool MOC. I like the statue.

Hey,

It's all white, just the light angle in a couple of the photos make it look a little off, I guess. If you look at the close-up of the cross, for instance, it is obvious that it is white, and from the other pics it is clear that it is all the same color (except the statue, of course).

Oh I see - I must confess to thinking it was an off-white color. The idea of painting little flower tops seemed amazing to me.

Still, this is a nic moc, the roof is well done and the flat beam across the top (which the cross is perched on) is a great touch. It's so much easier to just cut that out and have the two slopes touch each other, but this beam is a nice touch for a tomb.

That cross must have taken forever to tie straight.

My white bricks come out with a yellowy/tannish color because I just can't take pictures.

This is a nice little build. Lots of details in a small space. I can appreciate the difficulty in the top where the "triangle" comes together. I think the statue being a different color is a nice touch too.

Just great

I like how she's done the cross, much more effective than messing around with bricks

I was wondering if cloth would be cool on statues lately, answer is 'yes' apparently
