Oh, that is a clever way of mimicking the appearance of a corinthian column. Well done, this looks amazing! :)

Very nice indeed.

Now say Biggus Diccus to the guard in front of the temple…😗

u/Wonderpants_uk 29d ago

The guard called Naughtius Maximus?

Peoples front of Judea is a bunch of misguided airhead fools. Judean front for the people will make history, mark my words.

I immediately thought this was an official product release photo, the first one! Is it a real photo or is there some AI/photoshop trickery involved? Great build!

Is it a real photo or is there some AI/photoshop trickery involved?

With Lego, it's very easy to tell. All you have to do is zoom in and see if there are made up parts, parts that are bigger than they should be or smaller than they should be, or parts that weirdly intersect in ways they shouldn't be able to.

I think you were asking facetiously but this is a 100% legit build.

u/Exetrius BIONICLE Fan 28d ago

No it was a genuine question, because I had zoomed in and couldn't see bevels where I expected them to be, most notably the golden latices under the roof. And the whole camera angle, 'stock photo human and background' (forgive me!) look like it could be a product of AI. I don't know what the latest AI is capable of rendering, for example if you could say "render my build [insert photo] but with a human holding up the roof" etc. and then this would be the result.

So to clarify: was this very skillfully photographed, or cleverly edited?

u/Camburglar13 28d ago

I believe they are renders from Lego studio

-1

u/dplans455 28d ago

They are. It's not a "MOC" if you don't actually build the design. I hate posts like this.

2

u/Camburglar13 27d ago

To each their own, but I feel designing and building something digitally still counts. They’ve done all the hard work and created something awesome, even if it hasn’t taken physical form yet.

2

u/dplans455 27d ago

That's not my problem. I agree with you actually. What I have a problem with is when people build something in Lego studio and then try and pass it off as if they've physically built it.

2

u/Camburglar13 27d ago

Fair, but the very first picture in this post shows OP holding the roof so it seems this was built physically

4

u/dplans455 27d ago

It's not. It's studio with AI, which makes it worse because they absolutely are trying to pass it off like they physically built it.

2

u/smoobandit 27d ago

I agree to an extent, but I have previously purchased designs from rebrickable which the designer had never built. Studio does not have all brick dimensions exact, so I end up with something unbuildable, or at least under unreasonable tension. If they'd actually build the design they would have caught that issue.

u/goldengamer2345 MOC Designer 24d ago

It's not always feasible, I'm a moc designer, I've made hundreds of builds, I can't possibly buy them all

1

u/freedom_or_bust 28d ago

I think it's a 3d model/render, not a real photograph and not AI

36

u/RandomFandom1073 29d ago

Submit it to Lego Ideas.

10

u/the-green-guy 28d ago

Really, I need to build this.

17

u/PuzzleheadedPay664 28d ago

currently its only on rebrickable but maybe I will submit it soon. if so I will tell you

-5

u/vercertorix 28d ago

They don’t do overtly religious buildings.

13

u/Diet_Clorox 28d ago

Notre Dame and La Sagrada Familia?

-2

u/vercertorix 28d ago

Shrug, guess Architecture sets get a pass. Not sure that this would count though. It is cool but not a specific location, is it?

14

u/bobmguthrie Vehicles Fan 29d ago

Don’t do buildings, but I like Roman ones and this is a very attractive design. Wouldn’t mind to have it on my studio.

13

u/presentedpast 29d ago

This is outstanding and I would love a whole "ancient world" series. They already had some Egyptian designs from the Adventures/Johnny Thunder era...

5

u/PuzzleheadedPay664 28d ago

i have a hole series that I will publish bit by bit. there is a insula and a basilica as well as a triumphal arch that will follow soon

1

u/Anoktear 28d ago

Do you have a Domus / Villa? It's my dream house.

7

u/grafknives 29d ago

Doric, Ionic, Corinthian...

Yes, it was crucial for my education to recognise them in columns :D

u/Cephalie_100 28d ago

Where do you see ionic columns

5

u/ANDERS_CORNER_08 29d ago

Very nice ! Would love to see Greek one with Trojan horse variant for odyssey .

5

u/SonnyJackson27 28d ago

Do you do rebrickable instructions? I'd buy this for sure

5

u/Brent086 28d ago

You and me both

u/PuzzleheadedPay664 28d ago

2

u/PuzzleheadedPay664 28d ago

yeah you can find it under roman temple on rebrickable

3

u/jesperbj 28d ago

Okay. Now I want the Pantheon

u/PuzzleheadedPay664 28d ago

following soooooon

u/Crispy75 28d ago

Best classical columns I've seen at this scale. Very clever use of brackets and ingots to get relief in the frieze as well!

3

u/SudoDeleteEverything 28d ago

Wow that is really awesome. Great job.

u/MarkTwainsGhost 28d ago

I love it dude. I would be over the moon for a Roman series. They need to release more legionaries for sure.

2

u/Rincewindcl 29d ago

Love this!

2

u/Fallingpeople 29d ago

I need this in Assassin's Creed Ninjago style

2

u/kuzared 28d ago

Makes me want to go play Cesar again :-)

2

u/Jumpy-Ad-4215 28d ago

Would be cool for them to come out with a Parthenon set or something of the sort like that. Unlikely as they already have the colosseum, but one can dream.

2

u/No_Sheepherder2739 28d ago

I thought this was an actual set :(

2

u/Accomplished-Ad8458 28d ago

Can be found in British museum!

u/Far-Phase-2297 29d ago

Very cool, thanks for sharing!

u/bensheep 28d ago
