Bah, I hate those contemporary church designs. Is there a Gothic Lego cathedral?

It looks like it's designed along the lines of the Crystal Cathedral in California.

So you've built it. Now what?

I love the picture with the cat lounging on the floor of the cathedral. It sure gives the true size perspective of the Lego structure.

I like these Lego Eshers. It's nice to see someone making 'impossible' structures out of real Lego pieces. :)

As usual, click on thumbnails to see a larger version.

I've seen this before. Someone has a site with the Lego Cathedral on it. Oh wait ... here it is (http://www.amyhughes.org/lego/church/index.html).

I also like the Escher Lego constructions. Very cool.

I remember seeing the real thing as a kid...Robert Schuler (sp?), an old white haired guy, was the telvangelist, I think...

Not so much different than a real cathedral - plastic cookie cutter people in an oversized place that is mostly air being led by the nose by one plastic cookie cutter person.

Prolly why my bull nose ring comes in so damn handy.

I really think it's more of a megachurch than a cathedral. I mean, cathedrals are old and made of stone and have archbishops & stuff.

Very nice project, though--and I especially liked going through all those pictures and coming at the end upon a pretty cat. :) Pleasantly random, I thought (until I saw Shake's link and discovered the cat is connected!).

Robert Schuller calls his megachurch Crystal Cathedral. (http://www.crystalcathedral.org/)

I second that notion. I especially dislike the Air Force one. I think gothic cathedrals kick the asses of modern churches when they are on their worst day and the moderns on their best.
