No glue or trans-clear parts are used to extra support, the shoulder joints actually do support the weight of the extended sword arm and the shield.Īctually, there's quite a lot of technic action going on under the skin, the whole sculpture is pretty much a system of trusses with studs out in every direction and then it gets skinned in tiles, slopes and bows to give it its final form. The arms are cantilevered on technic beams through the shoulders. This guy stands about three feet tall (just shy of a meter) and made his public premiere at Brickfair New England, 2015, where it/I took the Brickee for Best Individual Builder (I offer a big thanks to all my fellow AFOLs who voted for me).Ī fair bit of engineering went into figuring out how to get him to lean/loom just right without collapsing under his own weight. (Moderators, feel free to move as you see fit) The projected $250-million project would take 3–4 years to complete and provide construction jobs and employment in the tourism sector the hope is that the Colossus will have a ripple effect on the local economy to the tune of €2 billion annually.LEGO Digital Designer and other digital toolsīeing based on George Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series and the HBO series Game of Thrones, I'm not sure if this belongs in historic themes or in "special" as just a sculpture, but since Martin was blatantly ripping off the Colossus of Rhodes and that was clearly historical, I think I'll post this here. According to the Colussus of Rhodes Project website, the main task is to make Rhodes a new reference point for the world. It is meant to serve as an inspiration to a new generation whose futures are uncertain-a rallying point of sorts. Like the rest of Greece, the ancient city of Rhodes has been hit hard by the financial crisis, and in many ways this project is a response to that.
Clad in polychrome marble and topped with its iconic brick dome by Filippo Brunelleschi in 1436, the Duomo has seen everything from 15th-century local government sessions to the attempted murder of Lorenzo de' Medici in 1478.
