Romecraft Colosseum

123 diamonds

Exterior almost done, need statues. Gold blocks are too tacky.

Arena

Finally added the Imperial Box (My variation)

I decided I needed statues somewhere.

Statues. Too bad spectators, guess you can't see now!

Ground level staircases (Purple for the upper class/senators stairway)

Lowest class seating at the top of the colosseum

Stairway hell.

Overview

This is one of the many buildings being constructed in the City of Romecraft, but it is so large that it deserves its own project! (Be aware, it only really looks good using the Romecraft texture pack)
We are building a 1:1 accurate depiction of the ancient colosseum, starting with the 456 outer, main support columns (we could not get the correct number of columns due to Minecraft restrictions, but 456 is enough). More columns to go, but these are the important ones that make up the main look of the Colosseum!
The real Colosseum has support columns 4m thick, we had to use 3m thick columns in order to compensate for the fact that our columns are entirely square and unable to be rotated as they are placed around the curve.
This arena is also 189 x 156 x 48 meters (blocks) in dimensions. It is a perfect ellipse (as perfect as it can be using cubes), as far as I can tell.
If downloaded and edited, please give credit to me for the basic design and construction!

Update #9 : 09/16/2011 9:19:09 am9/16/11

Improved and trimmed schematic so it is easier to place. No more giant spires and half-trees in this schematic!

Update #8 : 08/09/2011 11:36:37 pm8/09/11

I am releasing the incomplete Colosseum (no underground, no tunnels) as a schematic and a world save!

This version contains the entire colosseum, its statues, the emperor's box, the gladiator's entrance, and the gateways to the underground!

Of course, it looks like a circus tent without the Romecraft texture pack. It can be viewed other ways, but it was designed using my texture pack.

Update #7 : 08/01/2011 6:21:48 pm8/01/11

Added some statues to the Gladiator entrance. I like them, but any spectators behind them cannot see!

Update #6 : 07/31/2011 9:22:15 pm7/31/11

The gladiator's entrance is close to done (if not done already). I am done with all the staircases finally. After the Emperor's seating, royal stairs, and the 2 remaining gates, I will tell H07Hawk to make all the dungeons, and underground workings, since I am done with this project for now at that point.

Update #5 : 07/31/2011 1:53:12 pm7/31/11

Exterior almost done, interior well on its way :)

Update #4 : 07/30/2011 6:37:10 pm7/30/11

Working on staircases, seating, and colors for the Colosseum now. What a pain!

Update #3 : 07/29/2011 2:37:59 pm7/29/11

Finally started working on this thing again. Third layer done.

Update #2 : 03/24/2011 6:23:30 pm3/24/11

Arena floor is done (though no pictures) and is actually a two-layer spleef arena >.>

Might change, we'll see!

Update #1 : 03/23/2011 10:41:34 pm3/23/11

Second level of the one side is nearly done. First level on the other half is still under construction!
