I've made columns 9.570m instead of 10 and added entablature, will decorate it later.

Finished all the external doric columns, 10m in height + 800mm capitals, 2m in diameter at the base and tapering to 1.5m under the capital. And added a stereobate beneath.

I calculated and chiseled out the bases of columns. This was probably the hardest part; most of them were unique, so I couldn't just copy and paste them. 8 at the end and 17 along the long side, with the gaps slightly larger than the column diameters, as expected proportionally.

To start, I found an article by a Russian architectural scholar in which he described in great detail every detail and scale of the Athenian Parthenon. Then i assumed 1 block to be equal to 1 meter - so 1 voxel of chisel = 62.5mm - this will be the margin of error. And with this I made a rectangle corresponding to the plan of the Parthenon (30.870m x 69.512m) with axes in the centers of its sides. p.s. looks smaller then i imagined... maybe 1 block is not equal to 1 meter, but i don't care cuz it'll make calculations much harder.

I decided to build a replica of the Parthenon in the most realistic size and scale possible, and I'll share my progress here. I'm an architecture student and recently I saw posts from a guy who was building a Gothic cathedral. And since I love antique architecture myself, I wanted to build a classic of it — the Parthenon. I hope I won't burn out soon. first i'll do it in one material and in creative just to calculate the proportions, then maybe i'll build it on a server and with colour.
