Varied Buildings: 3# Byzantine Dromon

We continue our "series" of varied buildings before publishing a new entrance of the Palace of Westminster, which I will post tomorrow surely. This time I bring us a ship from the Middle Ages, which is my first ship made in Minecraft. It is a powerful boat very armed, even the ship has got fire! (and the fire is in this recreation too). It's a boat created by the Byzantines, though Arabs copied its design. The ship was called: Dromon.

The boat's dimensions are: 60 blocks long, 30 blocks wide (counting the oars) and 44 high.

Special 1000 views: Eiffel Tower (+Download)

Thank you for having already reached the 1000 visits on the blog, I think that 1000 visits is more than enough to make me feel proud of this blog. And, of course, do not forget to share the blog with your friends. But... let's talk about the special, The Eiffel Tower at 1:1.2 scale in Minecraft.

First of all, the recreation isn't at 1:1 scale because the real tower measures 300 meters high. As for color, there hasn't been 100% same to the original, I perhaps that real has a brown tone (I've done with light gray clay block).

It is not very difficult to recreate, because being such a famous icon makes internet is full of drawings of the famous tower.
