[MOC] Corinthian column 1.1

When I presented the first version of this MOC, most people had their concerns about the stability of the column. I found those doubts reasonable, so I revisited the model.

Now, things should me much more stable. The spine now consists of Technic axles, while some of the outermost tiles are connected to each other (in the height) to provide extra support. Tha magical part that made this all possible was the Technic bush with three axles (part nr. 57585). Since you have to turn ech piece 90 degrees in order to connect to twelve panels, it fits around the technic axle (unlike his predecessor which set at 120 degrees). The connections are made with regular 1x1 cones (part nr. 4589b).

Since I was revisiting this model anyway, I decided to rework the base as well. Now there are no more gaps and it looks much rounder.

Finally, I changed the height of the column to get the proportions between the capital and the height right. This can be easily modified however.

All that's left to say is that the piece count (relative to the height) has dropped, making it more realistic to build (I've checked it: all parts are available for purchase).

So thanks every one for the kind comments, and for pushing me further on this project. Now I'm really convinced a temple could be made IRL with these columns.
