The equatorial band is made up of bocks topped with 6×8 plates, joined together with Technic angle braces and pins.
The globe uses a lot of repeated builds to create the underlying surface.
The primary color here is reddish-brown, giving a decent feel of a classic wooden base.
The build is a bit repetitive at times, but the instructions wisely break up any monotony by intermixing the rote building with applying the surface details.
The information is just enough to satisfy curiosity with fun facts and figures, and I also appreciate the nicely laid-out pictures in this section.
Designed as a traditional earth globe, the newest set is based on the project submission from fan Guillaume Roussel, where it reached the requisite 10k votes on May 1, 2020, and was approved to become a set in September of that year.
