The Periodic Table of the Elements

Hello, you lovely people!

Thank you all for your support; it means a lot to me.

In light of reaching 400 supporters and being selected as a staff pick, I decided it was time for a little update to the model.

 

By popular demand, I added a Minifigure. Only one person would be fitting for this set. The person that you could call the "Father of the Periodic Table" and the Minifigure for this set is:

 

 

 

 

I guessed the type of suit and color he maybe would've worn from the very few black-and-white pictures that exist of him. You may also recognize his face as the face of Sensei Wu, which I admit was just the first elderly Minifigure head that popped up in my mind. Please tell me what you think of this design and what you would change!

 

To integrate this Minifigure into the model, I added a little slot to put him on the bottom right of the Periodic Table. With this slot, there comes another tile with his name written on it. I would have put him below the title tile, next to the legend with the extra hydrogen, but his hair kept clipping into the back, making his holder stand out too much when fixed. If you have any ideas on how to improve his placement, or if you find his current placement unsuitable for the set, let me know.

 

I will update the images accordingly and also add another image of Mendeleev shortly.

 

Lastly, I wanted to thank you all again for your support and all the kind comments. Please keep the suggestions coming. I unfortunately can't do all of them or decide against some of them (I will always give a reason why, so if you have a solution or disagree, you can absolutely convince me otherwise), but believe me when I say that I read and at least consider every single one of them. Every suggestion helps this model improve. Even if your suggestion doesn't make it into the model, it could still give me ideas on how to improve the build.

 

I wish you all a great day or relaxing night!
