I built it around 15 years ago... mid 80's so there wasnt alot of different
parts to use for a canopy.... I had to be creative with what I had...!!!
The model was almost 1 metre long.. and took around 1 day to build. I based
it on pictures I had, and a small model my brother had.

I'm glad you like my site.... as for my building, I've been building with
lego for around 25 yrs now, and have buitl many a realistic model, and many
from my imagination.... I prefer to build things from my imagination, as I'm
not limited and I guess being a graphic designer I enjoy using my creative
imagination for building... but I do enjoy building models based on
reality... its a chalenge...did you see my sword, crown, shield and goblet?
