"These chess pieces form a remarkable group of iconic objects within the world collection of the British Museum. They were probably made in Trondheim, Norway, about AD 1150-1200. At this period, the Western Isles, where the chess pieces were found, were part of the Kingdom of Norway, not Scotland. It seems likely they were buried for safe keeping on route to be traded in Ireland." - http://www.britishmuseum.org/about_us/news_and_press/statements/the_lewis_chessmen.aspx

Looks awsome! I really wanted to take a better look at it in blender and found a few minor errors like wrong normals, a mishmash of tris and quads, a mishmash of english and french, unsemetric crippled verts and dozens of unused and duplicate materials and textures. 

I tried to clean it up a little and applied some different textures with normals. ^^
Props to the author of this model! The body of the car is very well made.

The Whirlwind is the latest in a series of competitive fighting arenas held by the world’s elite AI specialists. The bots are designed to withstand a fair degree of punishment, and each generation of robots learns from the experiences of the previous. The machines are quite fierce and agile; they often dance for several minutes looking for an opening, and seem to posess a cunning that is frightening to observe.

Prepare to reap the whirlwind!

Marble portrait head from a statue of Antinous (as Dionysus?) wearing a wreath of ivy. The bust is modern.

Made from 250 photos, Nikon D5100 by Daniel Pett processed in Photoscan. This is a reasonable model, slight specularity from shine of the stone. The shadow on the right shoulder comes from the lighting in the gallery.

..You should always keep your eyes open at "the Fallen Pigeon"! Oh no, it's not about inhospitality at all! I assure you, if you're lucky enough to find shelter somewhere during your grueling journey to the Peak of the Winds, it's there. A fallen pigeon will shelter all the suffering under its wing, yes, yes! But the "sufferers" in those parts are all rascals and adventurers, so you'll have to live among a very diverse, and I must say deeply unpolished public ..

– Just imagine, - the old bard continued with a hitch. - Under one roof, the scum from the very bottom of society are bizarrely intertwined with local princes, pilgrims and troubadours – not every Mass on All Saints' Day can boast of such a unity of souls, right?

– And the representatives of the local city guards do not disdain to throw dice with cheaters, because in any case they win: they either take the bet for themselves or throw you to freeze your ass for the night in the punishment cell for cheating..

The Punishment- A digital study of Farnese Hercules sculpture 
This work of mine is a digital study I made on Farnese Hercules sculpture. Ancient Roman sculptures carry lot of stories and mysteries with them.This is called Farnese Hercules as it was excavated by the Farnese family. Wildly powerful figure with incredible musculature ,but also the figure is exhausted with tiredness on his face. The statue is Hellenistic with taller proportions and a smaller head. The original sculpture was made by Lysippos and later reproduced by Glykon.

*MV Spartan* was built in 1942 and is one of only two surviving Scottish-built 'puffers': a type of steam-powered cargo vessel first built during the 1850s for use on the Clyde and Forth Canal. Now Spartan is on the Designated List of the National Historic Ships Committee and it was the first vessel in the museum's collection when it was established in 1983.

*MV Spartan* is one of the most important objects in the Scottish Maritime Museum's collection. It sits just outside the Linthouse building, where most of our collection is housed. 
The vessel is not availabe to visit for the public, but we have a [virtual tour available online](https://www.scottishmaritimemuseum.org/virtualtours/) if you fancy a walk up the deck and inside!

The model was created as a part of 'Scanning The Horizon' 3D digitisation project.

We would like to thank [Historic Environment Scotland](historicenvironment.scot) and [Ulmus Media](https://ulmusmedia.co.uk/)  for their help during this project.

Romano-British London was abandoned in the late 5th Century CE and re-settled by Anglo Saxons in the early 7th Century.  This model is based on how a street scene may have looked in the late 9th Century - the Roman infrastructure and buildings decaying and becoming over-grown but the local Anglo Saxon community using the streets and buildings.  Its fortifications were re-inforced under the rule of Alfred the Great from 886 CE leading to the establishment of the City of London.

This model works well in UE5 - download as a gltf file.  Import into UE5 as a static mesh (either combined or seperate meshes in which case each element can be placed independently).

You are free to use this model in any way - if you like it enough to dowload it or add it to your collection then please also tick the like button.

Bust of Perikles

Seated Buddha preaching. Unusually for this hand gesture, the Buddha wears the over-robe on both shoulders with a thick curved neckline, an edge lying below the right forearm, the semi-circle between the legs rather deep and the fall of gathered drapery from the left wrist, where the backthrow may be visible, undulating in high relief to lie splayed and almost flat on the seat.

Bronze Tibetan Amoghasiddhi Buddha, 13th C CE, now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art.

Nore information about the sculpture here:

https://collections.artsmia.org/art/31182/amoghasiddhi-western-tibet-or-central-regions-tibet

From its description on artsmia.org:
*'A devotee might pray to Amoghasiddhi to overcome envy and greed, attempting to transform these emotions into the wisdom of accomplishment. He is one of the five cosmic Buddhas who are crowned and wear jewel ornaments. Associated with the color green and the elements of wind and air, Amoghasiddhi is believed to occupy the northern section of the five directions. His right hand is raised in the “have no fear” gesture. This sculpture is part of an elegant group of bronzes, probably from western Tibet, that displays masterful craftsmanship and stylistic links to Indian sculpture from the Pala period (700s to 1100s CE).'*

A marble portrait statue of the emperor Septimius Severus in military dress. He is shown with his characteristic forked beard and tight curled hair, and is wearing military dress. The statue is not carved fully in the round, but is flat and unfinished at the back, suggesting that it was part of an architectural design.

The Temple of Eshmun (Arabic: معبد أشمون‎) is an ancient place of worship dedicated to Eshmun, the Phoenician god of healing. It is located near the Awali river, 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) northeast of Sidon in southwestern Lebanon. The site was occupied from the 7th century BC to the 8th century AD, suggesting an integrated relationship with the nearby city of Sidon. Although originally constructed by Sidonian king Eshmunazar II in the Achaemenid era (c. 529–333 BC) to celebrate the city’s recovered wealth and stature, the temple complex was greatly expanded by Bodashtart, Yatan-milk and later monarchs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_of_Eshmun

Mount Rushmore National Memorial is centered on a colossal sculpture carved into the granite face of Mount Rushmore in the Black Hills in Keystone, South Dakota. Sculptor Gutzon Borglum created the sculpture's design and oversaw the project's execution from 1927 to 1941 with the help of his son, Lincoln Borglum. The sculpture features the 60-foot (18 m) heads of Presidents George Washington (1732–1799), Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826), Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) and Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865), as recommended by Borglum. The four presidents were chosen to represent the nation's birth, growth, development and preservation, respectively. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Rushmore
