Ishtar Gate In Babilonia Paper Model - by J.Ossorio

 photo eIsht878098907gh078087_zps308dd8b3.jpg
The Real Thing - Pergamon Museum
A nice model by Spanish designer J.Ossorio. This is the Ishtar Gate In Babilonia. Perfect for School Works, Dioramas or RPG Games. The Ishtar Gate was the eighth gate to the inner city of Babylon. It was constructed in about 575 BC by order of King Nebuchadnezzar II on the north side of the city. Dedicated to the Babylonian goddess Ishtar, the gate was constructed using glazed brick with alternating rows of bas-relief mušḫuššu (dragons) and aurochs. The roof and doors of the gate were of cedar, according to the dedication plaque. Through the gate ran the Processional Way, which was lined with walls covered in lions on glazed bricks (about 120 of them). Ishtar Gate has only gods and goddesses which include Ishtar Adad and Marduk. Statues of the deities were paraded through the gate and down the Processional Way each year during the New Year's celebration. Originally the gate, being part of the Walls of Babylon, was considered one of the Seven Wonders of the world until it was replaced by the Lighthouse of Alexandria; in the 3rd century BC. A reconstruction of the Ishtar Gate and Processional Way was built at the Pergamon Museum in Berlin out of material excavated by Robert Koldewey and finished in the 1930s. It includes the inscription plaque. It stands 47 feet high and 100 feet wide (14 meters by 30 meters). The excavation ran from 1902 to 1914, and, during that time, 45 feet of the foundation of the gate was uncovered. It was a double gate; the part that is shown in the Pergamon Museum today is the smaller, frontal part. The larger, back part was considered too large to fit into the constraints of the structure of the museum; it is in storage. - Wikipedia

One of the 120 Lions That Decorate the Gate
Um modelo bem legal do designer espanhol J.Ossorio. Este é o Portal de Ishtar. Perfeito para trabalhos Escolares, Dioramas ou Jogos de RPG. O Portal de Ishtar foi o oitavo portal da cidade mesopotâmica da Babilônia. Foi construída por volta de 575 a.C. por ordem do rei Nabucodonosor II no lado norte da cidade. Dedicado à deusa babilônica Ishtar, o portal foi construído em fileiras de azulejos azuis brilhantes mesclados com faixas de baixo-relevo ilustrando sirrushs (dragões) e auroques. O teto e as portas foram feitos em cedro, de acordo com a placa dedicatória. Através do portal corria o caminho procissional lineado por paredes cobertas por leões em tijolos envidraçados (aproximadamente 120 deles). Estátuas de divindades eram conduzidas através do portal durante as procissões uma vez por ano durante a celebração do Ano Novo. Originalmente o portal foi considerado uma das Sete Maravilhas do Mundo Antigo, sendo substituído pelo Farol de Alexandria algumas centenas de ano a frente. A reconstrução da Porta de Ishtar e da via procissional foi feita no Museu do Antigo Oriente Próximo, uma seção do Museu Pergamon em Berlim, utilizando o material escavado por Robert Koldewey, tendo sido finalizada em 1930. Inclui também a placa de inscrição. Possui uma altura de 14 metros e extensão de 30 metros. A escavação se deu entre 1902-1914, durante esse tempo foram descobertos 15 metros até a fundação do portal. Partes do portal e leões da via procissional se encontram espalhados por diversos museus ao redor do mundo. Apenas dois museus adquiriram dragões enquanto leões estão em alguns poucos museus. - Wikipedia

USS Independence Combat Ship Paper Model - by Rawen & MT

 photo 78787jhgjhgjjjyuy_zps93213d64.jpg
The Real Thing
This very well done paper model of the USS Independence Combat Ship in 1/300 scale, was created by the czech designers Rawen and MT, from PR Models website.
USS Independence is the lead ship of the Independence-class littoral combat ship. She is the sixth ship of the United States Navy to be named for the concept of independence. The design was produced by the General Dynamics consortium for the Navy's LCS program, and competes with the Lockheed Martin-designed Freedom variant. Independence, delivered to the Navy at the end of 2009, is a modular high speed corvette intended for operation in the littoral zone with a small crew. It is optimized for deploying and tending off-board systems, manned and unmanned; and takes on various capability profiles with the installation of a mission package, missions to include finding and destroying mines, hunting submarines in and near shallow water, and engaging in surface combat against boats, but not against warships. The ship is a trimaran design with a wide beam above the waterline, which provides the space needed for it to have a larger flight deck than is found on any of the much larger destroyers and cruisers in the US Navy, as well as a large hangar and a similarly large mission bay below. The trimaran hull configuration also exhibits low hydrodynamic drag, allowing efficient operation on two diesel powered water jets at speeds up to 18 knots (33 km/h; 21 mph), and high speed operation on two gas turbine powered water jets at speeds up to a sustainable 44 knots (81 km/h; 51 mph), with speed crests exceeding that. - Wikipedia


 photo ussvgfkbj8769867976_zpsfb226f5a.jpg

USS Independence é o principal navio da classe Independence de navios de combate litorâneos. Este é o sexto navio da Marinha dos Estados Unidos a ser nomeado com o conceito de independência. O projeto foi elaborado pelo consórcio General Dynamics para o programa LCS da Marinha, e concorre com a classe Freedom, concebida pela Lockheed Martin. A sua velocidade e autonomia são os grandes diferenciais para esse tipo de embarcação, que é capaz de manter uma velocidade constante de 70 km/h por quatro horas seguidas. - Wikipedia

Celsus Library Facade In Ephesus - by Papermau - Next Project


 photo LibraryofCelsusinEphesus0002_zps7066bb5b.jpg

This is the next project I will try to make. For now, only the model in sketchup is ready. Now I will break down the parts and see if I can organize everything. Like all real models I try to recreate it all starts with a good photo, in this case the same as that illustrates this post, below.

Este é o próximo projeto que eu tentarei fazer. Por enquanto, apenas o modelo em sketchup está pronto. Agora irei desmembrar as partes e ver se consigo organizar tudo. Como todos os modelos reais que eu tento recriar, tudo começa com uma boa foto, neste caso a mesma que ilustra este post, logo abaixo.


 photo library-of-celsus_zpsb4084678.jpg
The Real Thing
This library is one of the most beautiful structures in Ephesus. It was built in 117 A.D. It was a monumental tomb for Gaius Julius Celsus Polemaeanus, the governor of the province of Asia; from his son Galius Julius Aquila. The grave of Celsus was beneath the ground floor, across the entrance and there was a statue of Athena over it. Because Athena was the goddess of the wisdom. The scrolls of the manuscripts were kept in cupboards in niches on the walls. There were double walls behind the bookcases to prevent the them from the extremes of temperature and humidity. The capacity of the library was more than 12,000 scrolls. It was the third richest library in ancient times after the Alexandra and Pergamum.



 photo gkjgirtogirgiuorfhjjf_zps635a1cad.jpg The facade of the library has two-stories, with Corinthian style columns on the ground floor and three entrances to the building. There is three windows openings in the upper story. They used an optical trick that the columns at the sides of the facade are shorter than those at the center, giving the illusion of the building being greater in size. The statues in the niches of the columns today are the copies of the originals. The statues symbolize wisdom (Sophia), knowledge (Episteme), intelligence (Ennoia) and valor (Arete). These are the virtues of Celsus. The library was restored with the aid of the Austrian Archaeological Institute and the originals of the statues were taken to Ephesus Museum in Vienna in 1910. There was an auditorium ,which was for lectures or presentations between the library and the Marble Road, was built during the reign of the Emperor Hadrian. - www.ephesus.us

Archaeological Museum
A Biblioteca de Celso era um edifício antigo em Éfeso, na Anatólia (agora parte de Selçuk, Turquia. Foi construída em homenagem ao antigo senador romano Tibério Júlio Celso Polemeno, e suas obras foram concluídas em 135 d.C. pelo filho de Celso, Caio Júlio Áquila, cônsul em 110 d.C. Celso havia sido cônsul em 92 d.C., governador da província romana da Ásia em 115, e era um cidadão local rico e popular. Ele era um nativo de Sárdis vilarejo nas próximidades e entre os primeiros homens de origem puramente grega que se tornou consul do Império Romano e é homenageado tanto como um grego quanto um romano na própria biblioteca. Celso pagou para a construção da biblioteca com a sua própria fortuna pessoal. A biblioteca foi construída para armazenar 12.000 rolos, e para servir como mausoléu para Celso. Celso está enterrado em um sarcófago debaixo da biblioteca, na entrada principal que tanto é uma cripta onde fica o sarcófago quanto um monumento supulcral para ele. Não era comum que pessoas fossem enterradas dentro de uma biblioteca ou até mesmo dentro dos limites de uma cidade, de modo que esta foi uma homenagem especial a Celso. Foi construída em Éfeso, no território que era tradicionalmente um centro grego.


 photo LibraryofCelsusinEphesus0001_zpse2d37385.jpg
The Sketchup Model
O edifício é importante como um dos poucos exemplos remanescentes de uma biblioteca de antiga influência romana. Ela também mostra que as bibliotecas públicas foram construídas não só na própria Roma, mas em todo o Império Romano. O interior da biblioteca e todos os seus livros foram destruídos por um incêndio no devastador terremoto que atingiu a cidade em 262. Apenas a fachada sobreviveu. Cerca de 400 AD, a biblioteca foi transformada em um Nymphaeum. A fachada foi completamente destruída por um terremoto mais tarde, provavelmente no final do período bizantino. Em uma restauração maciça que é considerada ser muito fiel ao histórico edifício, a fachada frontal foi reconstruída na década de 1960 e 1970 e agora serve como um excelente exemplo de arquitectura pública romana. A Biblioteca de Celso pode servir de modelo para outras, bem menos conservadas, bibliotecas em outras partes do Império, pois é possível que as coleções literárias foram alojadas em outras cidades romanas para o benefício dos estudantes, bem como viajantes romanos. Essas bibliotecas também podem ter abrigado coleções de documentos de interesses locais, se elas não foram destruídas durante a conquista romana. - Wikipedia

The Real Thing
Mantodea (or mantises, mantes) is an order of insects that contains over 2,400 valid species and about 430 genera in 15 families worldwide in temperate and tropical habitats. Most of the species are in the family Mantidae. The English common name for any species in the order is "praying mantis", because of the typical "prayer-like" posture with folded fore-limbs, although the eggcorn "preying mantis" is sometimes used in reference to their predatory habits. In Europe the name "praying mantis" refers to only a single species, Mantis religiosa. The closest relatives of mantises are the termites and cockroaches (order Blattodea). They are sometimes confused with phasmids (stick/leaf insects) and other elongated insects such as grasshoppers and crickets. - Wikipedia

 photo mantislouiyti6879566_zpse1920e9e.jpg
Can You see me? - Camo Style
O louva-a-deus ou cavalinho-de-deus é um inseto da ordem Mantodea. Há cerca de 2400 espécies de louva-a-deus, a maioria das quais em ambiente tropical e subtropical. Seu nome popular decorre do fato de que, quando está pousado, o inseto lembra uma pessoa orando. Os louva-a-deus são insetos relativamente grandes, de cabeça triangular, tórax estreito com pronoto e abdómen bem desenvolvido. São predadores agressivos que caçam principalmente moscas e afídios. A caça é feita em geral de emboscada, facilitada pelas capacidades de camuflagem do louva-a-deus. Como não possuem veneno, os louva-a-deus contam com as suas pernas anteriores que são raptatórias, ou seja, modificadas como garras, para segurar a presa enquanto é consumida. A sua voracidade leva a que sejam considerados muito bem vindos pelos amantes da jardinagem e agricultura biológica, uma vez que, na ausência de pesticidas, são um fator importante no controlo de pragas de jardim. Na América do Norte ocorrem apenas três espécies de louva-a-deus, duas das quais introduzidas no início do século XX para este mesmo efeito. O voo do louva-a-deus é algo impressionante. Remete ao voo de um caça de combate. Ele também tem a capacidade de desviar de ataques de morcegos em pleno voo executando mergulhos. O louva-a-deus é um animal muito venerado na China, tendo inclusive estilos de Kung Fu baseados em seus movimentos. - Wikipedia

I think this will be perfect for Playmobil miniatures, even if it means a small change in scale. By French website Hugo L`Escargot.

Eis aqui um belo Castelo Medieval, para recortar e montar. Um ótimo modelo para as crianças montarem em companhia dos pais, pois algumas partes são um pouco complicadas para os mais pequenos. eu creio que este castelo é perfeito para miniaturas Playmobil, mesmo que seja necessário uma pequena alteração na escala. Do site francês Hugo L`Escargot.
