Posted September 19, 20159 yr Who knew a Priest could be a real good AFOL ?? There is some serious detail in this one. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/a-lego-vatican-rises-in-philadelphia_55e88fcfe4b0aec9f3568fce
September 19, 20159 yr WHAT THE ?? That looks awesome. And that's a pretty decent Pope minifigure But strictly talking, this is just St. Peter's square and Basilica. Vatican is the whole country
September 19, 20159 yr But strictly talking, this is just St. Peter's square and Basilica. Vatican is the whole country Yeah, but the country isn't much bigger
September 19, 20159 yr Author Yeah, but the country isn't much bigger Yeah, but the country isn't much bigger True !! I have been there a couple of times and it's an amazing place lots of beautiful art works and history (both good and bad) but small it the larger scheme of things. I really like the fact I am seeing a Lego building with a red roof reminds me of my sets from when I was a kid. Edited September 19, 20159 yr by bullet8542
September 20, 20159 yr "Simon's Lego Vatican is going on display at The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, where Pope Francis is scheduled to take part in the World Meeting of Families on Sept. 26 and Sept. 27. It coincides with the museum's new Vatican Splendorsexhibit, which showcases significant objects from the Catholic Church's history. " I would very much like to see this exhibit, my family would be interested to see the other Vatican Splendors too.
September 20, 20159 yr I'm not even Catholic: but I am totally digging this MOC. Pure awesome, instantly recognizable.
September 20, 20159 yr It would be something if the Pope stopped to view the Lego display and there was a picture taken of him holding that minifigure.
September 20, 20159 yr That is absolutely gorgeous. A fairly interesting article as well. I'm really loving all the little details he put into it.
September 22, 20159 yr I think picture 7 of 23 is meant to be the minifigure Pope as he's standing on the balcony (Loggia of the Benediction)
September 26, 20159 yr This MOC looks totally cool! Very nice architecture and perfectly recognizable!
September 26, 20159 yr Impressive. Did he make a Pope minifig? It didn't say in the news article. It can be seen in one of the pics
