Thank you Robin, Scott and Papa...
okay...this is my "ghetto" mosque...
it's really kind of anti climatic as it looks pretty much just like every other building I have made...hahahaha...it really does...
...anyway...
I did put some of the Hirst Art bricks into the foam...and plastered around them...I thought that was a nice touch...a little fancier than the other buildings...
I beat those little stones with a hammer to give them some distress and weathering...
I'm kind of proud of the doorway too...the stucco made a good blend from the stone to the wall...it looks pretty real...
for the door handle...I got a good tip from Fraxinus...a double sided tack...I had to paint it black...
I used some more arched Hirst Arts bricks for joists over the windows instead of wooden beams like on the other structures...
the door is a tad fancier...
but the piece de resistance...
the coup de gras...
the magnum opus...
hahahaha...
was over the doorway...
I wanted to write in Arabic..."God is Great"...
I looked it up on a free translation website...
I took my wood carving kit...but couldn't do it...it was too difficult to write in the wood...I don't possess the talent for such a delicate job...
so...
I looked up the Arabic translation of "Starbucks"...
the coffee shop...
it looked easier so I tried it insted...
sooooooooo...
the sign over the door says "Starbucks"...
I figured there was one on every corner...
and since it wouldn't translate "McDonalds"...
I used it instead...
