So I came across this, and...

I saw this on the official site, and, well, I've seen some insane things. But this in my opinion takes the cake. Amazing. And the amount of work...just see for yourself:

I can't even tell what some of those blocks are, what with it all painted grey and junk. For starters, what the heck are those giant chains?! Most curious about those..

And the glowing sword-looking things? Those are enemy banners, right? And directly under the giant sword, the two spiral-thingies. What are those? They're all over. Lamps maybe? Statues? And the banners on the far left look like they're floating...

Anyone else what to try to Sherlock this and figure out what some of this stuff is? I admit I'm not creative enough to pull something of this caliber off, but I'm always looking for new ideas on how to combine things for my projects, and maybe this'll help me and others out some. Plus I love seeing what people do.

So, statures. Vertical grey wall is the palm wood I believe. Sword looks to be painted gemspark wall? Painted (mostly everything painted, so I'll say that's a given from now on unless stated otherwise) Dynasty wood roof tiles, stone slab wall atop the top pillars. Is that dynasty wall around the middle square there?

Anyway. I'm rambling now. If anyone wants to try to figure this out for fun and to get ideas, go ahead! And I'd really like to know what those chains are! Are they a mod or what?

Possibly dungeon bricks with grey paint?

Perhaps the sword's blade is grey slime blocks, I don't really know.
Could possibly be blocks from a mod or something.

Yeah, I'm thinking that the chains are from a mod or something, as are some of the smaller detailed blocks. Some look too small to be anything, but I can't say that I've seen each block in all its forms, and painted. Paint really changes things...

I think they are simple minecart tracks, with silver(?) paint applied on them.

Whenever I see big builds,I just think "What's the point of those if I can't use them for housing or anything?"

It's paint and slope magic.

One of the best decoration builds I've ever seen in Terraria.

Yeah..most either dont have much floor space for anything like this one, or they're all mostly solid so that you can't even use it. Which is really why I have trouble building, 'cause I try to make cool things that I can live in. Functionality and looks is hard to do sometimes (depending on what you're making, of course)

I'm going to have to try that now, just to see...
