  1. The Sun Chariot (Danish: Solvognen) is one of the most famous Danish archaeological finds. The sculpture was made in the Bronze Age about 1350 BC. The sculpture was discovered in 1902 in a peat bog on the Trundholm moor. It is now in the collection of the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen.

    Since 2011 The Sun Chariot has been portrayed at the Danish 1000-krone banknote. This gave my the inspiration to build a 1:1 MOC of the Sun Chariot.

    My MOC show how the Sun Chariot looked like when it was new and undamaged.

    I have only used two different colours in this MOC: Dark Bluish Gray and Pearl Gold.

    The assortment of pearl gold parts are not large. Therefore I had to build the whole gold circle of this five kinds of parts:

  2. My oldest set is #500, the wooden "Klodser"

    It's also my oldest LEGO set:

    Some years ago I was looking in some old LEGO retailer catalogs. And "#500 LEGO Klodser" was mentioned already in the 1945 catalog.

    I do also have some other wooden LEGO toys. Some of it is older than 1945, but it’s very difficult to date wooden LEGO toys.

    This wooden rabbit was mentioned in the 1937 LEGO retailer catalog. I guess that it’s my oldest LEGO toy:

  3. Did you base the statuette on any person in particular?

    The statue in the park is inspired by Athena.

    My only question is why the Trojan horse? It was built on the shores of Troy out of one of the Greecian's ships. The only logic for it to be in Greece is that it is a reenactment.

    I know that the Trojan Horse does not match the year and location. It was build in Turkey around year 1184 BC. But because it’s one of the most well known parts of the Greek culture we decided to place it in the layout. And it was the most popular part of the layout at LEGO World.

  4. Since I was at holiday in Athens in the summer of 2010 it have been my dream to build an ancient Greek LEGO layout. But my mother and I did also have many other building projects. Therefore it was not possible to start before January 2012. It took 10 month to build the layout.

    It’s our largest MOC. The area of the layout is 2.3 x 2.8 meter.

    The layout shows a typical Greek town from around year 400 BC. The name of the town is Legopolis. Symmetry, harmony and geometry were importation values in the Ancient Greece. Therefore it have been our goal to build a town in that style.

    14-17. February 2013 the layout was exhibited at LEGO World in Copenhagen.
