Hi all,

Jim Garrett has recently posted three studies of Meduseld, a Roman aqueduct, and the Colleseum.

It's too bad he seems to have given up on Meduseld. I think it looks excellent so far. And I must disagree with him, I think he's captured the Celtic quality quite nicely.

Keep Goin' Jim!

Oh, and the Colluseum is excellent too!

These are three very well concieved "studies." Has he posted completed MOCs? These show a great deal of promise. His vision outstrips his brick supply which is a common affliction for us all. Being a "fan" of classical Western culture I really appreciate the effort and planning put into these.

Actually, I don't think he's got much of a brick shortage.

Though as he notes, that colluseum would require a huge number of arch and column pieces, so would be a huge capital outlay. Given the scope of his projects, it seems to me that he takes a lot of time planning things and purchasing the elements to complete them.

In addition to the Fisher Building mentioned above, he's also got an art museum, a Babylon 5 spaceship, a Greek temple, and Orthanc. This guy doesn't think small, and his interests range from ancient history to science fiction. Definitely a builder to watch.
