These were built for the upcoming March 2008 “Around the World in 80 Days” themed TexLUG display. I think I did a pretty decent job, considering I’m working with inventory scraps and leftovers.

I was originally going to build it “as it was,” complete and whole, but my wife convinced me to build it “as it is,” something I have not yet seen in LEGO bricks.

I purposely built it wrong so that it ‘looked right’ (the real pyramid has 9 steps, not 6). The pyramid’s steps are also a bit too steep, but this was built from spare parts, so I didn’t have a lot of plates to donate to this project. Like the real pyramid, one can create the feathered serpent climbing the steps at the two equinoxes:

I think your wife gave you some great advice, the “as is” version is nicely done. I really enjoyed it. Great work Tony.

What are these spare parts you speak of? Aren’t all parts of equal value?
