The burial of Saint Hilary of Arles: a pagan sarcophagus for a Christian bishop.
The decoration of the sarcophagus main side is dedicated to the myth of the creation of man and to his fate summarized by the three Moirai (Parcae) carved in central position. Although the composition is clear and orderly assembled, the scene is particularly complex.
To left, the Titan Prometheus, in his identity as creator of men, is portrayed as a seated sculptor modeling a little boy out of clay. Immediately to his right Athena, as goddess of reason and culture. This is the same Athena whom we shall meet again and again as the patroness of learning and culture. The head of Helios decorated by rays of sunlight is carved behind Athena. The presence of the god Sun in the far left of the scene means the beginning of a new life. Near the statuettes created by Prometheus there is Hermes, the escort of souls. The god is recognizable by his main attributes: petasos and caduceus. He pushes the spirit (Psyche) ā represented in the form of a winged female figure - inside the body of one of the statuettes made by Prometheus. The female figure standing before Hermes is Lachesis, one of the Moirai (Fates), who determines the horoscope of the newly born child. She holds a sphere, representation of the celestial globe, and a bag; next to her there is her sister Clotho, spinning the thread of life. In a rightmost position, the third Moira, Atropos, is seated on a stool. She unrolls the scroll of fate reading the destiny of the human beings. It is Atropos who, when time is over, slices the tenuous thread of life. Between Clotho and Atropos the god Poseidon is represented with two female characters. The leftmost figure represent Selene recognizable by the crescent moon adorning her hair and the stars carved on the background of the sarcophagus chest. Here, the goddess is the counterpart of Helios carved on the far left corner of the scene summarizing the parabola of the human life from birth to death.
The female character wrapped in a mantel, standing in the right corner of the scene, is the deceased woman moving toward the Styx river here represented by his river divinity. In the lower right corner Tellus.

"Paul Manship's highly recognizable bronze gilded statue of the Greek legend of the Titan Prometheus recumbent, bringing fire to mankind, features prominently in the sunken plaza at the front of 30 Rockefeller Plaza. The model for Prometheus was Leonardo (Leon) Nole, and the inscription from Aeschylus, on the granite wall behind, reads: "Prometheus, teacher in every art, brought the fire that hath proved to mortals a means to mighty ends." Although some sources cite it as the fourth-most familiar statue in the United States, behind the Lincoln Memorial, Mount Rushmore and the Statue of Liberty, Manship was not particularly fond or proud of it."

The Freight Depot at Kingstown, Carlisle, located on a remnant of the Waverley route at Brunthill has a large hardstanding ideal for road rail transfers. On 24 January 2017 such a tansfer took place where new Electro/diesel locomotive 88002 is seen being lowered down the ramp, inch by inch from the trailer. The locomotive had been transported by road from Southampton.
So before you go commenting that looks nothing like Prometheus I wanted to make one inspired by arrow cause I really like that suit.
The head is a hawkeye head with the painted details and the rogue hood painted black to go with it. Inspired by TheLostMinifig.
The torso is a modified crossbones torso and the strap is green stuff and the pouch on the strap is plastic card with painted details. The quiver on the back was sanded down and the the sword wrapped in electrical tape and then glued to the quiver. He also has a shoulder cape thing made from a lego cape and then put over the quiver piece.
The waist cape was made of electrical tape and glued to the sides of the legs but still keeping them movable. The knee pads were painted by me and there is a holster painted under the waist cape.
The arms have their own detail as well. On one there is a knife glued and held on there with electrical tape. I want to get a hidden blade off brick warriors to go on that arm but for now that will do.
On the other there is a shoulder pad made out of a minifigure hand with small amounts of detail and then the vambrace was made by me out of a hollow stud to put on the hand and the actual piece on the arm is painted plastic card.
I love this fig and I hope you do as well.
Please comment and favorite and all that Jazz.

About 85% done. See how much stuff changes over time...This is probably missing parts of the old you may have liked, fear not I have them saved for other projects.
I wanted to deviate from the "space sausage" so I made alterations. Kind an homage to Studio Nue rather than Homeworld-esque . I just need to fill in greebly bits in between the panels.
It is unfortunate that this bears the same name as the upcoming movie, but my daughter has been doing Greek mythology and I had some macross stickers.

My turn at building this ship. I started with using the barrels on the engines and that determined the scale. At the widest point the body is 5-wide, which made getting the body shape tricky. It would have been trickier if the studs on this piece where open, because then I couldn't have built a 5-wide base directly on top of it.
Some nearly five years ago, I tried to recreate dasnewten's Prometheus in LDD with moderate success. Many parts and assemblys didn't fit and some of the creative connections didn't work (see here flic.kr/p/p7oJ9Z ) With Stud.io seeming to get better with each release, I had a go at recreating it in that with I would say much more success. Far less parts that wouldn't attach (those that didn't technically were not attached in any kind of legal lego way). Anyway here it is. Files now linked below, have fun!
*12/07/2019 - I've updated these files to get rid of some duffer parts I'd mistakenly used (tiles without grooves, bricks without tubes etc). Now it parts out in Bricklink 100% with commonly available parts.
I should 100% point out, this is dasnewten's original work. He designed and built this beauty originally, if you've not seen his work, I encourage you to check it out!
