The scale here is damn impressive, and you nailed a Kali setting!

Thank you, I do think that just the quantity of building really was pretty intense! Although in the end some sections ended up somewhat plain, like the walls and the gray foundation, still I hope that the amount of detail elsewhere made up for that!

A magnificent temple indeed! Wow, how cool is this? Love to hear that the tried and true “gravity technique” played a key role. 😁

So many small details to soak up. Two I appreciated are the NPU of the sailor’s hat and Ninjago ‘snake skull helmet’ used for the small door archways on the far left and far right. 👌

Congratulations on this epic build.

Thank you! Gravity is at once both our friend and our enemy in such techniques, haha! 

Very happy to have you point those out, I thought they worked together pretty well once arranged so!

Beautiful MOC.  Really, simply beautiful.  I'm also going to have to steal that "slant the whole wall section" technique for some Egyptian/Adventurers builds to deal with the fact tan Slope 75 2 x 2 x 3 Double Convex parts are apparently more rare than Lego goats in the world!

Thank you Mrcpd! I have to warn you, it is tricky. . . really tricky in some parts. But you are so right, this isn't the first time I've had to come up with creative solutions due to shortage of those parts! Here it was part of the inspiration to cover a whole corner in green:

A beautiful build for sure! I love all the little details throughout, and I really like the angled walls and archways of the lower section. It also looks spot on to the reference picture you posted!
