On the day of unveiling, Lord Balric refused to honor his agreement, knowing the guild’s debt would ruin them. Devastated and enraged, John, Martin and other guild members shattered their masterpiece in defiance.

Very lively scene!

[LEGO Train 12 Volts]

Impressive scene!

[Kai NRG]

Still can't get over that beautiful circular window.  Great job on the lighting to make it shine.  One of your best builds for sure!

Those cheese mosaics are really cool and impressive. I like how the scene continues beyond the windows. You and your teammates did an excellent job telling the story and I enjoyed it!

These colorful leaded windows are beautiful

Too bad the protestor smashed them! Great scene!

[SimWies]

The windows are beautiful! Love the vibrant look of the entire scene

[Grover]

Gorgeous windows!  Love the overlaid detail there and the idea of the artists ruining their own work.  The mosiacs are the real showcase here, but the tile work on the walls is quite nice as well.  Thanks for posting the whole list, too!

what a cool build! The light works so well and adds a lot to it. did you just put a lamp behind it when you took pictures?

oh and just looking at the windows one could easily miss the nice mosaics on the floor. great job on this scene!

I'm glad it worked well, my teammates helped me feedback and did wonderful jobs themselves.

Yes, there was a lamp behind the windows. I'm glad the floor mosaics added to the build.

Superb windows John, a real inspiration!
