It comfortably occupies half of my dining room table. Here is an attempt: I took the photo below, which shows the LEGO Colosseum alongside my six-year-old son. Despite the monochromatic appearance, it is fascinating to look at, from every angle.Īs stated previously, it is difficult to understate the presence and size of this model the promotional photos don't do it justice, because there's very few images that demonstrate its comparative size. The micro process of assembling this model gives it incredible detail. No doubt, this was the point-to drive home what a physical undertaking it must have been to build the real building in ancient times. Assembling 9036 pieces feels like assembling 9036 pieces. Instead, the entire build is composed of small bricks- many of them three studs wide or less-that build to a larger, cumulative effect. The LEGO Colosseum does not take any shortcuts there are few 'long' pieces that would simplify the build process or make it more efficient. To attempt this build in a handful of marathon sessions would quickly turn from play into labor. Once you finish one bag, take a break-for several hours or even a day-before resuming with the next bag. Then again, the entire point of the real Colosseum was its symmetry you ought to know what you're getting yourself into if you're building this.

But they're similar enough that by the end of the build, the foundation for each slice becomes rote it's the surface details that have the more interesting variations. To be fair, no 'slice' is exactly alike likewise, each corresponding part of the real Colosseum has crumbled differently. The bulk of the LEGO Colosseum's build is repetitive.

Nintendo Entertainment System (with TV!).

The designers created corresponding LEGO interpretations for each of them they used pre-existing bricks to convey the Ionic columns' curled, scroll-like appearance When you build each wall, you're continually alternating traditional LEGO bricks with studs the resulting shadows evoke the real structure's pock-marked appearance-created when robbers tore the bronze clamps from the stonework.ĬHECK OUT OUR OTHER IMPRESSIVE LEGO BUILDS The real Colosseum has three types of columns on its outer wall: Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. You slowly work clockwise around the model, eventually reaching the part of the outer wall that's still intact. Think of the LEGO Colosseum as a series of individual cake slices, which you bind together with multiple balls and sockets before mounting them onto the platform. Then, you build the Colosseum's interior wall. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the world, attracting over 6 million visitors each year. And Rome has undertaken multiple restoration and repair efforts for centuries the most recent one began in 2013 and took three years. A sizable portion of the outer wall collapsed in the 14th century, although it did not compromise the remaining structure. Today, the real Colosseum, completed in 80 AD, is surprisingly intact. The LEGO set portrays the Colosseum as it exists in the public's imagination: as one of the New Ancient Wonders of the World, where gladiators fought to the death in front of 50,000 to 80,000 spectators. The height is slightly exaggerated-a deliberate, forgivable creative license. And that's because this model is more than big it is aesthetically pleasing, in the way that the actual Colosseum in Rome, Italy, is aesthetically pleasing. Its measurements-10.5” high, 20.5” wide, and 23.5” (59cm) deep-don't convey its presence.

I'm struggling to explain how impressive this build is, once complete.
