My Minecraft Sphinx

This was a somewhat laborious undertaking, slowed further by exploding creepers and getting a job halfway through the project. Anyway, I'm pretty pleased with the end result and I've just started building a home in his hollowed-out innards. I was playing on normal throughout construction and didn't cheat or nuthin'.

See My Minecraft Sphinx Build for some pictures of the construction.

*****
Step 1: Built head and shoulders out of dirt next to base in the middle of the desert.

Step 2: Dug out sand and rock to create sphinx body and surrounding valley.

Step 3: Created steps round edge of valley replacing top layer with sand.

Step 4: Dug out and replaced floor of valley with sand. (Beds were added to the game at this point, making everything a lot quicker!)

Step5: Replaced entire surface of sphinx with sandstone.

Step 6: Hollowed out inside of sphinx to create a large cave-like, sphinx-shaped house.
