    MOC: Anubis

    Nice bust, good building techniques! Is it ankh on his neck? If so then its proportions a little bit different and it must be held in hand.

    Very nice build! Something like this my wife had built for our son for his supermarket. She used cylinder half 2X4X4 for the top glass. Unfortunately I have no photo of her Ice Cream stall to share with you.

    MOC: William Tell Legend

    William Tell is a folk hero from Switzerland. He is famous as man who refused to bow down to the hat set up by Gessler, the newly appointed Austrian Vogt of Altdorf. He was arrested and forced to shoot an apple off his son's head with a crossbow, if he did not both he and his son would be killed. Tell shot the apple off the son's head and did not harm his son. He is considered a legend and his actions helped form Switzerland as a nation.

  23. Old Kamensk’s Ironwork Headquarters Styazhkin museum (3) by vir-a-cocha, on Flickr Facts: Architect................ Malakhov M.P. Purpose................ earlier Kamensk’s Ironwork Headquarters nowadays Styazhkin museum Location................ Kamensk-Uralskiy, Russia Style..................... classicism Years................... 1825-1830 History Kamensk is a town in Russia with a population of about 170 thousand people. Its official history begins in 1701, when there was a decree of Peter the Great on the construction of ironworks on the banks of the rivers Kamenka and Iset. October 15, 1701 was issued the first iron. The plant began to supply guns and mortars which for 200 years have participated in the wars with Sweden, Turkey , in the Patriotic War of 1812 and others. From 1825 to 1829 the town's appearance changed drastically . By architect M. Malakhov was reconstructed Kamensk's plant. Two new blast furnaces, the administration building, warehouse and hospital were built. Also it was rebuilt the main temple of the town. On photographs of early 20th -century the administration building of the plant on the background there is a Monastery. Architect Mikhail Pavlovich Malakhov (1781-1842) was born in the province of Chernigov (Ukraine). After graduating from the Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg, was promoted to the architect of the 14th class. Since February 1815 enlisted architect in the state of the Ekaterinburg mountain plants. Malakhov made a significant contribution to the implementation of the general plan of Ekaterinburg. Under his leadership in Yekaterinburg were built the most valuable monuments in the classical style. All his buildings marked by high professional skill, elegance of proportions, clarity of composite solutions, original handwriting, peculiar only to this architect. Model I tried to arrange MOC in the style of a official Architecture series. The building is made in 1:250 scale. The main difficulty was the structure of round rotunda, which relies on short and quadrangular dome. At this scale, the number of colonies was sacrificed to save the recognizable shape of the building.

During the Soviet period the spaces between the columns were walled up with brick walls with windows.

    MOC: Adjustable wrench

    Thank you all for the kind comments! When I first get this part the idea to build the wrench became an obsession! I have tried to take a picture with the wrench in my hand but it is not good enough to share it here.
