Temple of god Apollo!
« on: December 02, 2016, 10:15:08 »


Hello everyone.

This is the temple of god Apollo in Corinth of Greece!
The temple was built in 530 BC. The original temple consisted of 40 doric columns with 20 lines and about 4 meters high. The diameter of the base is about 1,90 m. Today are saved only seven columns  as you can see at the picture! The temple is  trademark of Corinth city.

Apollo was one of the most popular gods of antiquity, since in his honor were built 29 temples !! For god Athena 24 and for Zeus 16 temples.

And here is the version I did with my collection.



Our friend Tim went to see the temple too!!! :lol:

George,


That is some great work there. I like seeing when members recreate real world settings in Playmobil.

Keep it up

Cheers,
James

Oh I do like that! How did you do the tops and bases of the columns (square pieces)?

Thank you very much for your comments playmofriends! So glad you like it. :)

I didn't do something to the columns. I used that one from the old Roman set 4277 with the Caesar and I just have cut one of them at the top.

Thank you GrahamB. You're right. I believe it makes the diference to the picture altough it was very hard for me to cut the column. This part is very rare and it is not available by Playmobil. But finally, I think it was worthwhile!!
