Washington Monument - Minecraft style by ~LionkingCMSL on deviantART

My version of the Washington Monument as done in Minecraft, and all the limitations it invokes.

It is full size, but there had to be liberties taken. For instance the real WM slopes from 16.802 meters at the base to 10.506 meters at the top of the shaft, while this one is a constant 17 meters the entire length. Also the real monument has a steeper slope on the pyramidion, while this one is at a 45 degree angle, so it does not have the characteristic steeple look. The Minecraft version does, however, have an aluminum capstone, like the real one.

All in all I say it is very close replica of the real Washington Monument. :=3
