Thomas Waagenaar Posted June 27, 2021 Posted June 27, 2021 (edited) With the war in Terraversa, land has become expensive all over the Island. Limiting people from building in the best locations. So some times, when you really want something, you'll have to get creative! The Clerics have constructed a small church dedicated to Poseidon on top of a dock in the middle of the water. Only able to be reached by boat. They don't expect many people to visit this place so they kept it simple and modest. The ideal place for the local fishermen to stop by after a long day of fishing. Or on the way to their fishing grounds! On the dock we can see one fisherman casually fishing, as he has docked his boat right next to the church. Although his oars seem to be missing, perhaps he should pray to the gods to bring him some new oars?'Floating' Church'Floating' Church'Floating' Church OOC: I came across this picture of a small church sitting on some pier in America, disconnected from land itself and only reachable by land. It's a lot smaller in real life, but that would probably be too small to portray nicely in Lego. I really wish I had the real bricks to make this thing, as I loved designing something this style digitally. I'll probably order the bricks to make another little church like this physically in the future! Spoiler Edited June 27, 2021 by Thomas Waagenaar Quote
LM71Blackbird Posted June 27, 2021 Posted June 27, 2021 Nicely executed build with some great real world history! Quote
NOD Posted June 27, 2021 Posted June 27, 2021 Good idea and implementation. I like the church on the pier. The Faith helps with the fishing, the fisherman has already caught some fish. Quote
Ross Fisher Posted June 27, 2021 Posted June 27, 2021 OMG, I love this. Both the inspiration and your version are just incredible. You've really captured that colonial aesthetic. This would make great sense as a church of Poseidon, could you be persuaded to tweak the text? Quote

What do you suggest I adjust? I'm not as known in the faith as you (yet) so I'll happily take all the suggestions! ^^ Quote
Ross Fisher Posted June 27, 2021 Posted June 27, 2021 (edited) I don't think you need to change the build at all, it's perfect. Just make it clear in the text that it's a church of Poseidon.

Capt Wolf Posted June 27, 2021 Posted June 27, 2021 Nice build. The cheese slope siding works well, and I like that the church is set at an angle. Good little brick-built boat, too. Well done! Quote
CapOnBOBS Posted June 27, 2021 Posted June 27, 2021 Great job making art imitate life. Very cute little scene. The lego version has no water or greenery and looks very clean and pristine, the actual photo looks swampy and that takes this in a whole other direction for me. Quote
blackdeathgr Posted June 27, 2021 Posted June 27, 2021 Wow, this is incredible however small! Really nice depiction of a real life building. In Poseidon we trust! Quote
Kai NRG Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 This is a really clean build, great job with the siding on the house especially! Quote
Ayrlego Posted July 13, 2021 Posted July 13, 2021 A very cute little build and great entry! I especially like the cheese slopes as sidings, works really well at that scale. Well done! Quote
evancelt Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 Nice looking building! The siding really works in this setting Quote
