[MOC] Cambodia

Recommended Posts

In January 2020 I visited Angkor Thom in Cambodia. It gave me inspiration to build this LEGO creation.

It is inspired by the Angkor Thom City Gate in Cambodia.

The city gate was built by the Khmer Empire around year 1200.

Around year 1900 the ruins of the city was rediscovered and explored by European travelers.

Today it is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Southeast Asia.

Stunningly beautiful! You even went the extra mile to show us the Angkor Thom City Gate over the course of time from its golden age to the rediscovery and the tourist attraction Ankor is nowadays. The detail i like the most are the two 4-armed sculptures left and right of the gate's arch.

Wow, Lasse, great building art! You actually built 3 different buildings or were the last 2 photographed and modified? But nevertheless they all are very beautiful and very recognizable. 😉👍
