The Real Thing
The Forbidden City was the Chinese Imperial Palace from the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty. It is located in the middle of Beijing, China, and now houses the Palace Museum. For almost 500 years, it served as the home of emperors and their households, as well as the ceremonial and political center of Chinese government. Built in 1406 to 1420, the complex consists of 980 buildings and covers 720,000 m2 (7,800,000 sq ft). The palace complex exemplifies traditional Chinese palatial architecture, and has influenced cultural and architectural developments in East Asia and elsewhere. The Forbidden City was declared a World Heritage Site in 1987, and is listed by UNESCO as the largest collection of preserved ancient wooden structures in the world. Since 1925, the Forbidden City has been under the charge of the Palace Museum, whose extensive collection of artwork and artifacts were built upon the imperial collections of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Part of the museum's former collection is now located in the National Palace Museum in Taipei. Both museums descend from the same institution, but were split after the Chinese Civil War. - Wikipedia

Inside the Forbiden City
A Cidade Proibida foi sede do Palácio Imperial Chinês, da Dinastia Ming até ao fim da Dinastia Qing. Ele está localizado no meio de Pequim, na China, e agora abriga o Museu do Palácio. Por quase 500 anos, serviu como a casa oficial dos imperadores e suas famílias, bem como o centro cerimonial e político do governo chinês. Construído entre 1406 e1420, o complexo consiste em 980 edifícios e abrange 720.000 m2. O complexo do palácio é um exemplo da arquitectura tradicional chinesa palaciana, e influenciou a evolução cultural e arquitetônica do Leste da Ásia e de outros lugares. A Cidade Proibida foi declarada Património Mundial em 1987, e está listado pela UNESCO como a maior coleção de antigas estruturas de madeira preservadas no mundo. Desde 1925, a Cidade Proibida abriga o Museu do Palácio, cuja extensa coleção de obras de arte e artefatos contém as coleções imperiais das Dinastias Ming e Qing. Parte da antiga coleção do museu está localizado no Museu do Palácio Nacional, em Taipé. Ambos os museus eram da mesma instituição, mas foram separados após a guerra civil chinesa. - Wikipedia

Star Wars - Tauntaun Paper Model - by Noturno Sukhoi

The "Real" Thing
More one great paper model from Star Wars Universe, created by Noturno Sukhoi team: here is the Tautaun. Tauntauns were a species of omnivorous reptomammals who were indigenous to the icy planet of Hoth. Tauntauns were commonly used as pack animals during the Rebel Alliance's stay at Hoth. Tauntauns were also used as patrol mounts when it was learned that the Rebel Alliance's own vehicles could not cope with the very cold weather.


Mais um grande modelo de papel do Universo de Star Wars, criado pelo pessoal do site Noturno Sukhoi: eis aqui Tauntaun. Os Tauntauns são uma espécie de repto-mamíferos onívoros que são naturais do gelado planeta Hoth. Tauntauns eram comumente usados ​​como animais de carga durante a estadia da Aliança Rebelde em Hoth. Tauntauns também foram utilizados como suportes de patrulha quando se soube que os veículos próprios da Aliança Rebelde não funcionariam nas temperaturas extremamente geladas de Hoth.
