Awesome

Great work. Those large builds are tough to stick with sometimes.

I think the Beholder really needs the organic eye stalks like in the original pic. I don't think the hinge plates work very well.

Selling 185 lbs of Lego on eBay. Have a look: http://www.ebay.com/itm/122275921313?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

http://www.amazon.com/Unofficial-LEGO-Technic-Builders-Guide/dp/1593274343 This book is amazing -
It is a build of half of the original building. The half that I have built is complete and I probably won't work on the second half for a long time...if ever

Thanks! Goldens are great, he's our third . Cant say I've ever seen a Pyrenean Mountain Dog. Only familiar with the Swiss MD.

Front of build for those interested: Tabularium, Roman Forum by turd ferguson, on Flickr

Had to drag this large build out to move for a basement remodel. Felt inspired to take one quick pic On the way to the forum by turd ferguson, on Flickr

Wow, brilliant. You are a true artist.

I really like the stables. The trees could use a larger canopy based on their trunk size though.

Here is terracotta roof tiles using round technic connectors and tiles: post-38346-0-15959100-1374567176 by turd ferguson, on Flickr Terracotta Roof Shingles by turd ferguson, on Flickr
-
The technic connectors just rest between the tiles. The roof panels will be set in such a way that the bottom tube will rest against the cornice. Each one higher up the roof will then be held in place by the one below it. Hope that makes sense.

The roof is off to a good start, but as Tommy Boy would say "Holy Schnikes that's gonna take a lot of pieces!" Terracotta Roof Shingles by turd ferguson, on Flickr

Rebuilt the front door: Untitled by turd ferguson, on Flickr View of the side. I am not sure if the Romans used double arches like this but it reminded me of an aqueduct so I went with it: Untitled by turd ferguson, on Flickr Over head view of the mosaic at entry: Untitled by turd ferguson, on Flickr Poor shot of the front: Untitled by turd ferguson, on Flickr

Yeah, nice work but too short.

Update: Front view, all pillars are complete. Not thrilled with the blah capitals: Untitled by turd ferguson, on Flickr Mosiac on pronaos: Untitled by turd ferguson, on Flickr Detail of front door.

No, probably not. Bas relief is not really possible in Lego, at least for me. Although folks have done nice work with figs in the pediments it always seems forced. Right now my plan is to leave the pediment plain, perhaps with color and put some nice detail in the cornice.

WIP shot of the Temple of Concord. The temple was erected in the west end of the Roman Forum against the Capitoline Hill. Its' neighbors include the Temple of Vespasian, the Arch of Septimius Severus, which still stands intact, the Tabularium, which still stands but has been heavily modified, and the Gemonian Steps where traitors were hurled to their deaths. Sometimes they were strangled first then tossed. Untitled by turd ferguson, on Flickr Here is an artist interpretation of what it may have looked like. Except for collapsed rubble and the foundation not much is left. The front facade is based off of what can be gleaned from ancient coins I believe. 250px-Tempconcord by turd ferguson, on Flickr

Gorgeous build.

For a new temple project I was building columns using the technique first used by TLG in the Town Hall. I am not sure if it was their design or someone else's. Basically it is (2) 2x2 plates with two 1x1 bricks with studs on four sides, repeat to column height. Jumpers are placed on each side and then a tile on top of the jumper. This gives a great look but as my son points out you can just barely see the 1x1 bricks and 2x2 plates. He came up with a new design that adds in an extra layer utilizing a 1x plate and a plate with door rail. This yields a slightly larger column (just under 5 studs wide) and you can not see the inner workings at all.

Nice job. Small critique, you tiles at the end of the run of books should be reversed so you don't see the underside.

For reference the Tabularium is the tall building in the background. The Temple of Concord (current project) is the large temple in front of it to the right side of the picture images by turd ferguson, on Flickr
