The Death of Socrates


Buddha’s First Sermon


These are for a project that me and a few friends are building. It is called “History of Humanity” and each scene is an important event from history. We’ll try to cover everything major event between man-evolving-from-apes to the near future (my rotating spacestation-spaceship thingee from BrickFest will be making an appearance ;o) ).

My cohorts for the project are KK Quah and Robin Werner of GFLUG. We’ll be presenting the complete project at Festival of the Masters at Downtown Disney in November.

PS. Cross to .vignette because of the detail-scene orientation of the creations.

Hey Lenny,

These are awesome! My favorite details are the tree in the Buddha scene (how sturdy is that, btw?) and the statues etc above the stairs in the Greek temple. I’m looking forward to seeing the further installments in this series.

   The Death of Socrates


The style of this piece is intantly reconisable, From the fantastic fresco work above the temple (love the half turned torso’s) to the Columed walkway to the main temple. But by far and away my favorite detail is the scales of justice. I can see a LOT of town courthouses and Train Layouts using this idea.

Very nice, Lenny. I agree with others that the tree and the fresco statues are the highlights, but these are overall just very good scenes. I like how you’ve outfitted Buddha with the cloaks and red rubber bands.

Looking forward to more in this series!
