I found myself
researching, the number of columns and measurements and I also started to look
at the Minecraft units of measurement and found a great site on
minecraft.gamepedia.com
I originally wanted to undertake
this lesson and build a scale version of the Acropolis. I decided that bite was
much more than I could chew. If you search buildings that are to 1:1 in
minecraft like I did you become wildly obsessed with how far some users are going. For
example http://www.techspot.com/news/55914-developer-creating-11-replica-model-of-manhattan-with-minecraft-blocks.html
this is an article about a 1:1 replica model of MANHATTAN! I am inspired by the
time and dedication. So inspired I spent more time looking at their work then
producing mine ha. Simply amazing stuff out there. So, I was not going to
be undertaking the 1:1 scale but I did want to represent the signature columns
with accuracy. The columns are 34.1 ft tall,
and a Minecraft block is approximately 3.28 feet in length. I found myself with
a calculator undertaking measurements and math like a modern day Minecraft Bob
the builder. Bear in mind, math was/is the weakest of my subjects, so weak I was
put into remedial Math in grade school. Beyond econometrics for economics, I'm lost so lost I may count on my fingers under the dinner table at a restaurant to figure out a tip. (when I write "I may" do that, it is a safe assumption, that I do that ALL the time ahah). Here I was doing it b/c it was fun and I
wanted to! I day dreamed I just heard Mr.
Kurchurak my high school math teacher spit out his coffee in a really long
drawn out spitting of coffee like action when I wrote "I was doing math for fun"..

like that. Not Mr. Kurchurak. hahah.
Here was what I used as a model:
Here are my images from the quest:
Firs the Draft from MineDraft for the MineDraft:
Here are the results:
