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.

Hello! That's cool. That looks like a large Schultüte. (What's a Schultüte? Look it up here: (URL) at LEO.org>) And it's another tower that's taller than mine. Sighs. The naked mini... erm... bigfigs = sculptures are great, too. Bye Jojo (18 years ago, 12-Oct-06, to lugnet.build.sculpture, FTX)

(...) I'd like to point out that the space men climbing up at the bottom were my contribution to David's Sculpture. It was really quite impressive. Well Done. steve (18 years ago, 12-Oct-06, to lugnet.build.sculpture, FTX)

		Re: first multi-colored sculpture - rhapsody in blue
Impressive! I have never even attempted a sculpture (I feel like an dinosaur on Lugnet now ; ) but this still looks very tricky... I love the sharpness of the line itself, and the figs at the base really make it. Thanks for sharing and God Bless, (...) (18 years ago, 12-Oct-06, to lugnet.build.sculpture, FTX)

I don't think its boring at all. For me, a non-spacer, it was the coolest part of the moonbase. Very impressive! Josh (18 years ago, 13-Oct-06, to lugnet.build.sculpture, FTX)
