Trojan Horse

No, this page isn't about malicious computer programs. It's about one of my LEGO creations.

This is an original design.

The inside of the horse is hollow. There are two guys climbing down the ladder from the hole in the belly.

I tried to keep the armor and weapons authentic for the Trojan period. Thus, only spears and broadswords, except for the one guy who has figured out how to use a bow and arrow. Just pretend it's not a longbow.

The Greeks were a cheery lot, as you can see by the smiles on their faces as they go off to war.

If you liked these pictures, there are some closeups at Joe Lauher's Construction Toy Homepage:

• The first four photos: #1 is a closeup of the underneath, where you can see the guys on the ladder. #2 is a quarter-frontal view. #3 shows the right profile. #4 shows the horse from a mini-fig's-eye view.
• The last three photos: #5 shows the left profile. Note the lifted front leg. #6 is an overhead view. #7 is a full frontal view, not good for much because it didn't turn out well, but it does show the ears nicely.

It took me eight years, but I have finally posted the building instructions for the horse.
