Well, the images for the outbuildings are pretty sparse, I am going to use what I have found as a guide and make up the rest. Here is the first of these buidlings, the top of this has some kind of cafe with tables with umbrellas on them. I will connect this with some kind of walkway and another set of stairs going up to the statue.

Update:

Added some connecting stairs and finished out the building a little more. I need to reign in my scope and get this into game soon to see what I need to adjust before starting to work on the terrain.

Well this is the main part of the structure. Now I need to find some reference material for the gondola buildings and restaurant area next to the statue. Guess I need to learn a little Portuguese or something.

I have finally started working on the base of this structure. This should help show some scale as well. Wikipedia shows this statue is 32 meters tall (my earlier estimation was 34 so I am glad that things are working out). A small biped is shown to give the scale.

The real structure has rounded supports for the railings. If I want to use this in game, this simply will not work so I am going with a simpler geometry. I will add some kind of texture/normal to make this a little interesting in game.

Update, a little more of this crazy structure completed.

Face is pretty much complete, now just to marry it to the body then off to the feet and hands. Goodtimes.

update: I finished tying everything together and completed the hands.

I have completed the body and am on to the hard parts now... A face hands and feet... This should be interesting
