Greetings:
As a member of MichLUG/MichLTC, I have been planning an ambitious building
effort for next year’s NMRA National Train Show in Detroit. I currently have
three medium to large buildings in various stages of construction. After a
while however, the logistics and missing parts bottle-necks started to get a
bit tedious. Blah Blah blah...
Anyway, I decided to just have some plain old fun. So I took every last tan
brick that I had available and built a replica of the ancient Egytian pyramid
of Khafre, a pharaoh of the Old Kingdom’s 4th Dynasty. Just as I was
uploading some pictures of it to Brickshelf, “The Mummy” was on TV so I was
inspired to add a bit of goofy cursed mummy hijinks with some available
minifigs. One side of the pyramid has a cut-away showing a partially
accurate rendition of the interior passage way and burial chamber.
I hope you enjoy it...

By the way, Egyptian architecture and decorative style is not totally
un-associated with my interest in Art Deco since the discovery of King Tut’s
tomb in 1922 had a significant impact on the development on Art Deco style.
