Didn't know where else to put this one to I put it here.
This is sort of a joint venture between mt son Jack (T Bolt Jr.) and myself for a school project of his that is due this Friday, so we still have a lot of work to do.
The diorama is of the Pyramid of the Pharaoh Kufu, also known as the Great Pyramid of Giza. It also depicts the 3 small pyramids if his 2nd, 3rd, and 4th favorite wives and the graveyard of tombs that stretch to the west and the Nile.
The first two pictures are artists interpretations of what it looked like after the 25 years of construction were completed.
The rest of the pictures show the progress to date. It is mostly made out of foam board, and what you see took us a couple of hours yesterday and the better part of today to do. Only 1/2 the pyramid was built so Jack can show the cut-away back and all the interior chambers in his presentation.
The pyramids will be covered very tiny brick pattern paper. The rest of the structures will be painted a sandstone color, and the ground will be painted with PVA glue and sprinkled with fine sand. The Nile at the bottom of the base will be blue painted.
Lots of work to do yet before Friday!
