Pillar of Shame

**Butelczynski** · #1 12-24-2021, 07:19 AM

With destruction of Pillar of Shame sculpture in Hong Kong there is great interest in it and Tienanmen massacre from 1989.

Are there enough pictures of that sculpture to design simple paper model of it made of maybe 3 pyramids glued together with pictures of sculpture on their sides?

I know there is a open source 3d printing file out there but very few have 3d printer. Making it out of paper would make a lot more sense imho.

This is pretty important I think.Too important to go down the memory hole.

I don't have enough graphic skills to do it,I'm hoping someone can make it happen.

Do it some place else, not here! No politics on this forum please!

Looks like an interesting project to me.

I agree it would be difficult.

designing a model of a memorial is hardly political

Do you need a 3-D model of the Auschwitz with activities therein in great details?
Or replica of a WW2 Japanese soldier hoisting a bayoneted Chinese infant like a flag during the Nanjing massacre?
A model of a memorial? Memorial of what, the June 4th incident (so called massacre according to western media) in Beijing 1989 which is a scam? Have you seen the footage by a French reporter showing queues of "purportedly massacred" Chinese students and young men leaving the Tiananmen Square, marching and chanting "I'll be back", the morning after June 4th?

All these "memorials" are being brought back by people like you!
Would you please stop promoting HATE on this forum that should focus on papermodeling instead.

A good example is that you guys hate Putin so much but yet honour Maxim like God because of his free models (you are still dying for his YAK )! Yuck!

Come on, give this forum a break and stay away from POLITICS, whether expressly or in disguise!

Maxim is Ukrainian, not Russian

Good idea Butelczynski!

Maybe someone can produce a model using your idea and the 3d sculpture as a guide.

Some really good graphic artwork may do the trick.

Hope you had a good Xmas!

This makes no sense, are we disliking people because of their nationality now?

At the moment, it's just someone asking for a model (with some history attached to it). But this can be said for most of the models we build. I'm sure there are Japanese builders out there who feel strongly against B-29s, Germans against B-17s, Americans against the WTC towers. Are we really going to start censoring this forum?

This wasn't political until you made it political. As noted above, everything can have a political or hate spin attached to it depending on perspective. Let's not go down that rabbit hole.
