16th Anniversay!

Statue of Zeus Bastelbogen
Today is the 16th anniversary of Tektonten Papercraft! As is my custom, on this day I post either a papercraft I have built in the past or new papercraft I may release in the future. This year, I am posting a photo of a past build.

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.
