The World

I often get lost and therefore felt that building a map would be a great way to help orient myself with locations. To ensure I covered all places that I might find myself one day, I settled on building a Globe(R). Now, I have seen other globes built from bricks on the web, (my personal favorite being Corey Sanders' which I used as a basis for the above), but I tried to step it up a bit by adding a little colored relief to the Globe. Hence the Globe has relief. Not to mention the fact that it is bumpy because it is made from sharp plastic bricks.
