Hello fellow Lego builders,


I've finished my latest MOC: The Egyptian Pyramid.

(see: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=79821).

I've tried to add some personal flavor.

It's the first of a new project: The Seven World Wonders.

Congratulations on your great big pyramid! The state of the art is now 48x48.
(Not that size matters.)  I bet you wish there were more tan slopes in the
world.

I like the bits of color and decoration inside. (Neat how Tecwolf's structural
supports provide the color dots.)  Your columns in the chamber are sweet.

So, this pyramid is kind of like the mummy's home in the afterlife? He's awfully
active and he's got potted palms. Perhaps while you're doing that, you could
develop the idea further and supply all the other goods a king could ask for:
food, wine, women, gold, mummified servants (carved from stone substitutes also
acceptable.)

As for seven wonders, where are you going next? If you do some research you'll
find that as a club, the Seven Wonders had a way of admitting new members.
(Welcome to the club!)

Hello Erik, thanks for your compliments and annotations. I surely would like to have some more tan slopes ;-) And in using them I discovered that you don't really need the tan bricks to build the original Pyramid, so that does give some perspective (...)
