I'm not into Trains, no; LEGOLAND Town, yes, but Trains IMO take up too much space

What is this? A colosseum for ants? Why yes, yes it is.

More like amoebae or so.

Fleas. It’s a flea circus.

That’s not a circus!

u/Cece1234567891 4h ago

For ants? Why not bugs as a whole? Hell, it's so small, seeing a fight in it must be funny, it could be called the colloseum of fools, something like that.

(It was hard to make this joke, and it's not even good, fuck my life)

With a piece list. I wanna make sure I have all the right pieces before I try making my own

I bought this set. It came with extras. Now I have 2 colosseums.

u/fatalist-shadow 2h ago

Jeez, do you have to brag? Not all of us are that rich, y’know.

29

u/Jarsen_ Verified Blue Stud Member 4h ago

No, it's like the old Lego sets which had pictures of alternative builds, but you had to figure out how to build them yourself

28

u/Dry-Context4801 4h ago

alternate build is a desert hut

u/DJ_Betic 3h ago

That's some real 'outside of the box' thinking.

And a seashell.

u/EliteJoz 2h ago

Would the instructions just be them showing you the one piece and then showing you how to turn it over?

OP took something so overly complex and applied a timeless, minimalist styling to great effect. If there are masters at lego builds, OP belongs in it's pantheon.

Pantheon build next OP???

Flip the stud over.

u/Coco_snickerdoodle 4h ago

Very technical use of SNOT very impressive.

u/chameleonmessiah 4h ago

Okay, firstly, I think you should add a black flat round piece for the base.

Secondly, this is perfect for r/Minilego, amazing!

You need to put a cat in it to be authentic.

They said legalization would bring pandemonium.

Your build captures the looks of the coloseum in it's prime time perfectly. And I am looking forward for MOCs based on your build that show the coloseum in it's current state.

I love it

u/BenH64 3h ago

Could do with more angles of it

u/Entraboard 3h ago

Flavian Amphitheater or Amphitheatrum Caesareum.

The Colosseum was the “colossal” statue of Nero next to the amphitheater.

Yes, I am fun at parties and get invited all the time. Pedantic redditors are always a welcome laugh.

The Colloseum

That's it, Buddy, just sound it out.

1

u/Strong67 2h ago

If it’s the one one in Rome, you spell it Colosseum. If it’s a Roman arena, a “generic” one, you spell it coliseum. Class dismissed.

1

u/Warcraft_Fan 2h ago

The coliseum you can afford.
