Heart Pedestal

I've been planning, buying pieces, and building this sculpture for the majority of the last half of the summer. I'm giving it to my girlfriend as a going away to college present. Traditional Greco-Roman architecture played a big inspiration for the design of the pedestal for the heart. Inscribed on the 4 sides is the word Eros which was the Greek god of sexual beauty; it also means love. Frogs are a little inside joke of ours too so they worked out perfectly.

Very nice Revo, I especially love the arches, how did you make it curved like that?

Great! I see some Frogs! Yay!

I like the base, though.

Very nice! IMO some color would have been nice in the gray area, but otherwise very cool.

I'd say he used the arch piece, then just stuck some 2x1 with cheeses on them in there. But LRV! Giving away LEGO?

I'm kidding. This is a great MOC, I bet she loves it. Instead of buying pieces, waiting.... Couldn't you have just gone to Hallmark, and saved some cash for college? Or are you Mr. Unique?

The lack of colour on the base makes the heart stand out and look brighter.

I always learned that Eros was the god of love, and Aphrodite(Eros's mother) was the goddess of love and beauty. I may be wrong, though.


This is actually really awesome. The heart itself is worthy to post!

Eros is just a fancy-shmancy word for the dude in diapers: Cupid.

Also, do "coughs" count as words?

Agreed. Commented on Flickr, but I think this is both very sweet and very well built. You knew what you want to build and in what style, and you did it, and it was for a great cause.

Very nice Revo, the base is amazing, and I love how perfect the letters are.

Once again, as I said on flickr, brilliant gift.

That is very thoughtful! I like the frogs, too!

This looks very nice, how long did it take you?
I am sure she is worth it to you, right?
Great job on making the heart stand out.

This is super cool!

Dude you seem love struck! Isn't this the second heart theme you did?

Looks awesome though.

Nice job!

Awww.... You really love her don't you? I presume you're the one on the right, right?
