David Attenborough is the most amazing person of the past century. Born in 1926 he is probably the biggest figure of the British television, mainly in the field of coloured television, and quality nature documentaries. He has one of the most famous synchron voices of the world.
The build is inspired by his house, and a side build of the most famous moments of his career, in an easily customizable way. (Based on my personal ranking) Made with Studio 2.0.
The following easter eggs found in the main build:
- Did you know that we can thanks the colour of the tennis ball to David Attenborough himself?
- Elephant bird egg. He found it in Madagascar and put it together with duck tape, from around 30 of pieces.
- A closet full of his trusty blue shirts. Do you know why he always wears blue?
- Richard Attenborough. His older bother was a pretty famous person as well. As an actor you have probably seen him in a few movies. For example in a white suit and a straw hat, and maybe like a piece of amber you would surely recognize him instantly...
- Fossils in the closet: Attenborough had always been fascinated with the animals of the far past. Even when he was a kid.
