Athenian Parthenon source info

[The Mad Professor]

Hello folks, I've got a project in mind that involves building a scale model of the Parthenon in Athens. Unfortunately, I've been unsuccessful in locating either a scale model or any kind of detailed dimension drawings.

So, I thought I would bring it to you guys and see if anyone else knows of more sources.

There is a full size 1:1 replica in Nashville Tennessee. Its an exact copy of the real one in Athens, as it looked before a lot of the damage was done to it over the years. Someone also did a great 3D digital model of it in Sketchup. Sketchup is a free 3d model program that is easy to use. The model is here

Download Sketchup and give this a spin. The tape measure tool will tell you how long/ tall pieces are.

They also have a smaller scale model in the museum there. Great little place if you are able to visit.
