[MOC] Greek Temple

[Lasse]

Typical temple from the Ancient Greece.

Inspired by:
Parthenon in Athens, Greece (built in 447-432 BC)
Temple of Hephaestus in Athens, Greece (built in 449-415 BC)
Erechtheion in Athens, Greece (built in 421-406 BC)

 

 

 

This building is a part of a series of 21 buildings built in different architectural styles. Each building is built on one 32x32 baseplate: https://www.flickr.com/photos/66344850@N06/albums/72157708211032315

This is great, I really like the "growing" statues and the roof. Great interior detailing as well.

There is some great stuff in the flickr link. I love the use of sausages in the arches.

Everything is full of well done details ... but the roof is wonderful!

I turned her around when I photographed the model because I thought it would look better on the photo.

Very cool . I especially like the floors and the roof.

If I understand correctly this is from one series? https://ideas.lego.com/projects/735f45fd-6337-4fa8-8203-5ebc2107dd83

I like this one a lot! Not huge and sweeping, but it still manages to encompass a certain grandeur. I don't know if it's an established technique that's escaping my mind or if it's something you've innovated here, but I can't fathom how you pulled off the different-level roof tiles.

It is actually a very simple technique. I take advantage of the fact that 1x2 tiles have no bottom tubes.

I invented the technique in 2012 when I built these Greek houses. At that time, I had not seen others use this technique. But it would surprise me if I was the first to have figured it out.

 The Greek houses were part of a large Greek layout: https://www.flickr.com/photos/66344850@N06/albums/72157632900664334
