Message:: [QUOTE="Julius Germanicus, post: 3202060, member: 80783"]Here is my opus magnum so far, a scale model of the Flavian Amphitheater, made entirely of (probably close to 10.000, mostly tan colored) LEGO bricks. I decided to show the northern view intact (including some statues and masts), as it might have looked like in 80 AD: [ATTACH=full]828936[/ATTACH] As a contrast, the model shows the southern side without it´s collapsed external facade, close to what it looks today (I might add a little decay if I find the time): [ATTACH=full]828937[/ATTACH] This way I could also include the support walls that were erected in the early 19th century to prevent further collapse: [ATTACH=full]828943[/ATTACH] The inside is shown more or less intact which adds stability to the model so one can carry it around in one or two pieces. As long as I can´t afford an ancient coin with it´s picture on it (show yours if you have them <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ), this Colosseum will do it for me.[/QUOTE]
