This papercraft is of the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. This papercraft was designed by the great Richard Vyškovský as part of a commercial paper model of the Temple of Zeus at Olympia. I didn't want to build the entire temple, so I scanned just the parts of the template with the statue and enlarged them. The original statue was about 1" tall. The enlarged statue I built is 5" tall.
Thanks so much to all of you who continue to visit my blog! It is very much appreciated!
Love it! I checked out your archive of 2008 builds but it wasn't there. Any chance of getting a copy of this? thanks.
ReplyDeleteThanks! 2008 builds archive should be there. Try again
DeleteThe 2008 archive exists with 19 entries. But there was no zeus statue entry to be found. there was a Nov 5 2008 entry titled "beginnings". but it had no papercraft associated with it. Thanks anyway. your site remains one of the best for finding interesting papercraft. I have built many that I found here over the years.
DeleteSorry, I misunderstood your first question. The Zeus was never released previously. It is just a personal custom build I was sharing on the occasion of the anniversary of my blog. Because of copyright reasons, I am not a liberty to share the template.
DeleteCongratulations on 16 years and thank you for your contribution to the papercraft community!
