The Penrose Triangle

The Penrose Triangle, it never ceases to amaze me. The more I stare it, the more impossible it becomes!

This is the updated version of my earlier entry: The Impossible Triangle. I revised the display stand to better balance the model and to make a more solid connection between the stand and the triangle.

This model is filled with illusion, the most obvious being the triangle itself. Despite their appearances, the sides of the triangle all have different lengths! Plus, the stand isn't centered, but shifted towards the longest side to support that side's extra weight.
 
The model measures (with stand) 27.9 studs tall, 24.4 studs wide, and 32.5 studs long. The total piece count is 164. The triangle attaches to the display stand by sliding the two extensions of the stand into two holes on the back of the triangle. I designed and rendered the model in Studio and composed the photos on Pixlr.com. The entire model can be built in physical pieces.

As the title of this contest says, enjoy!
