Hey all,

Daan Bargerbos has posted a tower with some really interesting architecture, including clever use of this part: .

Great Moc.
I love all the designs.

[Trigger]

UGH! To much tan and grey all smushed together with to much busy architecture. Sorry, this MOC does nothing for me.

[The Tennis Ball Kid]

I disagree, I think it's well mottled, not "smushed", with a lot of very nice detail work.




TTBK

I'm not saying the detail work is bad. I'm just saying with the mottling and all the details on one tower it looks smushed and busy.

[Tycho McKorley]

It looks like a camaphile, a seperate bell tower for a church. I think the detail and design are quite impressive, though something about the coloring seems gaudy.

Hello!


I always had a week spot for large towers. And like this one. There are some nice building designs, in particular I like the combination of tan quadruple slope peaks and balls.
I have to agree, though, the whole structure looks somewhat busy.

I think the word is "campanile" :-)

(Interesting (personal) side note: When i looked at this picture: , I felt reminded on the bookshelf in my parents' home. There are some books that look exactly the same at the spine, it's a Hebrew lexicon or something the like, that my father used in his capacity as a pastor. I wondererd: might it be possible I see the same lexicon in a BrickShelf gallery again? Looking at the background of other pics I discovered more Hebrew books, so I think there is the same lexicon in Daan's bookshelf that's in my parents' bookshelf, too. End of the story, didn't want to bore you :-) )

This works very well as a study in building designs. Tan and gray can be mingled, but this one overuses the two. I am still trying to find the right accents. I tend to use too much or too little.

Interesting observation Jojo. Variety is the spice of life. I wonder of your father may know this person, or his family? Our worls seems wonderously small at times, doesn't it?

Hi JoJo,

I only discovered your side note a few days ago (oops),
and has to say: you are a keen observer!
Aside from me building Lego and enjoying what others build
I'm a fulltime minister in the Protestant Church of the Netherlands

Excellent! I've always wondered how to use that piece in a larger building without it sticking out like a sore thumb. This answers my question. Cool.

[Justin M]

Interesting tower design. Very impressive!

Thanks for all the comments.
It's been years ago that I build this tower.
To be honest it was the that inspired the whole construction.
And yes, seeing it again I do agree: it is too busy.
But I still remember how much fun I had composing this tower!
Nice thought to see some people find it inspiring.
