Rogue Odyssey – A RogueBricks Collaboration

It's almost a tradition that our community RogueBricks builds a large collaborative model every year. This time, "Rogue Odyssey" was created by the incredible amount of more than 30 contributors and displayed exclusively at this year's Bricking Bavaria exhibition in Friedrichshafen at Lake Constance, Germany.

Having previously showcased collaborative displays with themes such as Pirates, Diesel Punk, Adventurers and Canadian Frontier in recent years, our latest project aimed to create a grand and immersive diorama inspired by ancient Greece. The display featured real historical sites, including the Acropolis of Athens, the temples of Delphi, the island of Kreta, and even the legendary city of Troy, which the Greeks want to conquer with their iconic wooden horse. In addition, numerous tales from ancient lore were artfully depicted, and we even ventured into the realm of the Underworld.

An array of informational plaques surrounded the display at the con, providing insights into the depicted scenes and locations, captivating visitors and prompting them to reminisce about their knowledge of Greece from school lessons or movies. Moreover, the detailed explanations on the plaques allowed attendees to expand their understanding of ancient Greece, making the exhibition also an enriching educational experience.

Once again, our efforts were rewarded, as we were able to take home the prices for the best collab display of the exhibition in both, the public and participants voting, categories!

You can find a list of everyone’s contribution below, as well as links to their profiles where some will also post their individual contributions and you can find even more of their outstanding works. Many thanks to everyone involved - organizing and planning these collaborations involves one level of effort, but actually showing up and bringing them to life is an entirely different challenge. We owe the success of this endeavor to the skills and dedication of all these talented builders!
