The Renaissance

Here is my contribution to the Time Isles collaboration at BrickCon, where me and several others all built floating islands depicting important events in world history. This build is based in Florence, Italy, where the Italian Renaissance started. I wanted to make the base half-circular and include an interior to a building, which was an interesting challenge. I think it turned out alright in the end, though I wish I had time to add furniture and more minifigures in the building. The bent bricks for the base were a pain, as they kept falling apart, but it was a really fun technique to use. The cathedral is based on the main cathedral in Florence; that's where I got inspiration for the white and sand green colorscheme which is pretty unusual. I also really like how the small gray building turned out, and I'm glad I got another chance to use that cool arch technique.

Let me know what you guys think, thanks for looking!
