Angel of the North (Current)

The Angel of the North is shown in its current mature rust-brown Cor-Ten appearance as one complete ribbed figure with fully extended wings. A strict orthographic front projection uses the documented 54 m overall wing span and 20 m full height as an exact two-axis contract, while excluding the hill, buried foundations and surrounding site furniture.
