[Local Landmark] Glasgow GoMA and The Equestrian statue of the Duke of

Recommended Posts

The Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) may not be the most iconic building in Glasgow, however it is the only one that has an Equestrian statue of the Duke of Wellington with a traffic cone on its head outside, and that's the bit I really wanted to build.

The GoMA was built in 1778 as a fancy townhouse for a Glasgow tobacco baron, the Corinthian pillars were added between 1827 and 1832 and it became a museum in 1996.

It is also where the local goths used to hang out.

IRL it looks a bit like this (the photo is from wikipedia);

I'm having trouble attaching sensible sized images from teh internets, however a good view of the side is also here

Oh, that's fun! The mini-modular scale is pretty tough, but I think you did well with the details for the scale. The pediment art, clock, and tower parts are very nice.
