Other than Icarus not dying, it will be as mythologically accurate as possible. I will have an update that tells the full (slightly modified) story with pictures. It can then attach to the top of minifigure legs in a similar way to the skirt piece. The woodcut depicts Daedalus and his son Icarus, flying on wings fixed to their bodies by wax, by a method invented by Daedalus. It is made by rolling up a cape and wrapping a rubber band around it.

Greece, Crete Greece, Crete, Heraklion - July 18, 2018: Interior of Knossos palace, ceremonial and political centre of the tsar Minos. I apologize for the scatches all over the minifigures I had to pull them from my gladiator collection. Place was connected with legends of Daedalus, Minotaur, Ariadne and Icarus. There is a softer and more stretchy version of the flexible hose which I do not have that would allow the arms to move more and actually let them flap their wings. The arms made of flexible hose pieces with minifigure hands in the ends. I know the wings use "illegal" methods, but I think they are absolutely necessary to obtain the most realistic feathery wing look possible. The wings Daedalus made for himself and Icarus are made of the claw/wrench piece and the minifigure hand piece. The tower does have a full spiral staircase that stretches from the bottom door to the top floor opening, so a minifigure could actually get up to the top floor (unlike some other towers I've seen). I know the top is not very good, but I was running out of pieces. I did not invent the method for building the tower that has been used by other Lego builders many times, but this tower is my own creation. You can give your opinion of this change, but it is what it is, for better or worse.Īnyway, this probably took up most of my castle pieces and blue pieces, making it probably my biggest creation ever (that may be surprising, but I don't have very many pieces). Basically I made it so that Icarus survives, so there is no death in this project. I am not going to tell the story here (I'll do that with pictures in an update) but I will say that fortunately or unfortunately (whichever you think) I had to change the story a little bit. This is the classical tragic Greek Myth of Daedalus and Icarus.
