Hello Everybody,
As some of you may have noticed, a rather large oval has appeared on the dynamap southwest of spawn. This was the initial setup for building a 1:1 scale model of the Colosseum.
I’m trying to make it close, but not %100 exact with the differences generally being compromises designed to improve the general look of the building as well as making it easier to build, as 1 meter blocks aren’t exactly ideal for an oval structure.
For the various dimensions and structures I’m mainly using these sources as a guide http://www.tribunesandtriumphs.org/colosseum/dimensions-of-the-colosseum.htm

Beyond the structure itself, the arena floor will be able to be flooded, as well as be able to do a few things other things that I’m still planning out. I’ll admit to a hope that the arena could double as a server combat space, though that’s definitely optional.
I would be extremely happy to accept material donations, as the structure is slightly resource intensive.
As of this writing I’m short about
70,000 stone
1,000 iron ingots (for pistons)
13,000 wood planks
12,000 cobblestone
4,000 sand
Currently I’ve completed the outer wall and I’m laying out the interior structure.
Here’s an album of pictures that i’ll be updating as the build continues http://imgur.com/a/ONv2Q
I look forward to future updates!
