At NWBrickCon2006 I showed my
first ever multi-colored sculpture.
It was a part of the moonbase display. It was an 8 foot tall cone with a
bulging red stripe spiraling up the side.
But the red stripe is structural. It’s not just tacked on the outside. It
may look boring to other people (after all it’s not
naked people), but it’s one of
my most important technical breakthroughs.
Comments welcome and appreciated.

David,
I want to see pictures of the fig leaf that you built to cover it. ;-)
Seriously, how did you transport it? Did you split it into sections or did
you move it whole? Also, how thick are the walls?
Having never built anything to that scale, I must admit it is quite
impressive in size and design.

I built it in five sections, each a little under 2 feet tall. These were merged
together the first morning to form the full tower. Unfortunately since I hadn’t
done tile layers it couldn’t come apart afterwards. So it had to come home in
many many pieces. The entire thing was broken down to
fit in
a Costco plastic crate.
All of my stuff is two studs thick. So the top foot or so is solid, but below
that is about half an inch thick without any internal support. But it’s still
pretty strong.
Thank you,
