As for the total cost, I do not know the exact number (yet), but it exceeded $1000, and as for the piece count all I know is that it exceeded 14,000 LEGO pieces.<br /><br />The dimensions can be found in,First Kings (Chapters 5-8) and 2 Chronicles (Chapters 1-7).<br /><br />I thank God for all He has done, in providing the immense amount of funds and inspirations for this project.<br />Thanks to my pastor for his help on the dimensions and how the parts should be built.<br />My family and there constant support in this endeavor.<br />The other families who expressed interest and supported this project, and helped fuel my urge to hurry up, and finish. :-D<br />A thanks to all the bricklink stores and their excellent service.<br />And finally the LEGO company for making such an excellent and addicting product!<br /><br />I hope you have enjoyed this, and that somehow this will benefit someone with there personal walk with God.<br /><br />With that I bid thee good night, or depending on when you are reading this: morining, afternoon, or day. ;-)Thomashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01617768888673217165noreply@blogger.com28tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1552274850203878679.post-57374428151114010912009-03-22T05:33:00.000-07:002009-03-22T05:45:51.589-07:00Finished!!!!!Yes don't bother pinching yourself, slapping your face, or doing some other painful or torturous act that supposedly makes you up from a dream, because this is real!! The last order of parts came yesterday, but due to another family project that is sure to show up at "Lockwood woods," I was unable to begin building until 5:00. I then built almost non-stop (I did take a long time to eat dinner, which I finished at 9:00) till I finally finished the final pieces, and gazed at it in the pale glow of a flashlight at the bright and early (well maybe just early) hour of 12:25am.<br />I will post again with pictures, naturally with me sharing a room at 12:25 I couldn't take any pictures at the time.<br /><br />On a side note the settings have been changed so if you don't have an account you are still allowed to post.Thomashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01617768888673217165noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1552274850203878679.post-87033121999069457872009-02-20T15:50:00.000-08:002009-02-20T16:02:29.804-08:002 orders LEFTI think I posted this a long time ago, but this time it's real (God willing of course). I have two more orders, and then I will have ALL the pieces necessary to build the behemoth. March is the 1 year anniversary of this project (wow it's been a long year).

I began thinking it would be cool to recreate Bible structures or scenes about mid February. By March I had determined to design Solomon's Temple, and had begun the design process, which lasted about a month. Ever since then I have scavenged all necessary white and yellow pieces from my collection, sold many lego minifigs on eBay for funding, and bought many many orders from bricklink (the eBay of Lego). Buying Lego with money made from selling Lego, has taken the rest of the year and will continue (and hopefully come to a merciful end) in 2009. The result has been observed as many pieces have come together. Currently, there are less than 20 different piece types left to order. The interior walls have gone up, the Holy of Hollies is all but finished, and much much more has been accomplished. I thank those who have given their constant support, and ask for prayer that I not get discoraged when faced with the cost that remains (the last orders are rather large). I hope you enjoyed 2008 and have a wonderful 2009, and many years to come.<br /><br />Don't stop building,<br />ThomasThomashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01617768888673217165noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1552274850203878679.post-63991354784283371852008-12-10T10:21:00.001-08:002008-12-10T10:41:51.036-08:00Sheep and pillarsThe pillars are finished, along with the sheep which will be placed around the temple when it is finished.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbSfFdOnXWot5YAynoX7awwSKm86ToQNF7md92k7isws1tMpt38X1GD2jOy8tR49L6iHblOWHU8she1KE0hTkywUbQSZZfwmDJnUp78b0WGOfcBvv8S0auYa23XYskh2I0sJUJAUE9q-c/s1600-h/pillarmerge.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 125px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbSfFdOnXWot5YAynoX7awwSKm86ToQNF7md92k7isws1tMpt38X1GD2jOy8tR49L6iHblOWHU8she1KE0hTkywUbQSZZfwmDJnUp78b0WGOfcBvv8S0auYa23XYskh2I0sJUJAUE9q-c/s320/pillarmerge.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278228760900877522" border="0" /></a>I tried a photomerge (when you take multiple pictures and splice them together) in photoshop, but my <span style="font-style: italic;">super-steady ;-) </span>hand wasn't steady enough, and the lighting was inconsistent, resulting in the amateur and rather poorly done picture you see before you.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLGkB1HdaGU_E52Zz6aWVOAeHf3brkj5LSCVeQoPVBXQ-u9lC7tGtQn4Hwe9awSZanNdP5XlAjutwHXfG7x-vw7Z8ZeMPmUBI8dBEhgif6y2wf3pmlpit3JZV10V1RyP50EyxVoQ-7f4A/s1600-h/pillars.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 222px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLGkB1HdaGU_E52Zz6aWVOAeHf3brkj5LSCVeQoPVBXQ-u9lC7tGtQn4Hwe9awSZanNdP5XlAjutwHXfG7x-vw7Z8ZeMPmUBI8dBEhgif6y2wf3pmlpit3JZV10V1RyP50EyxVoQ-7f4A/s320/pillars.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278228749774482834" border="0" /></a>Great news the high priest has returned for more scale comparison shots!

I am currently figuring out how much money will be necessary to finish it, yes FINISH!!!<br /><br />My method of saving money could be considered cheating, but when I'm saving over a hundred dollars I am willing to let that slide. Certain pieces had to be white due to their sides being shown, but I figured I could buy gray pieces instead (which are much cheaper and in greater quantity) and spray paint the edges white (and all the lego purists following or knowing of this blog's existence faint from horror).

Also in the scene where the guy is reading, the book is photoshoped to look like a "for dummies" book, but I really animated that with the guy holding a plane brown book.<br />The power of Photohsop!<br /><br />Hopefully I will have something interesting relating to the temple soon.<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwA8Hp95xgzws3n0nvh6QiJL_rHPUB6ga-WVGJEtI0H-7b4aTj52yS8lnjQDdByeg9cxmVsA_CewlHCY9J1lQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Thomashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01617768888673217165noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1552274850203878679.post-46816474301798804242008-07-01T06:13:00.000-07:002008-07-01T07:36:25.569-07:00Some finished piecesThis time instead of all unfinished works in progress, I present, Three FINISHED PIECES.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgffuMNDZNsWA5UsnNvZOAu_OHO-tALyRQUERv-r1k3EYClURX1n3wlrfmo43IxC2FaPzKzeT3vaYMo6iD2dSH5erYXGOQwL7DWOH8mcV1PHnwIekILaCnHgGbAfQNX3qoqvlOoMxoHwB0/s1600-h/finished.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;
