Capt. Stabbin Posted December 20, 2011 [pid][/pid]196D Hello everybody! It's been a while since I posted here, so I figured I'd share my latest creation. I have always been fascinated the Maya civilization. I decided to base this one on one of the greatest may cities of all, Palenque. I based my MOC off of these pics: Thanks for looking! C & C welcome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir E Fullner Posted December 20, 2011 It's amazing how the stones from the old Mayan temples still exist. It reminds me of the old city of Chichenitza. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Blackmoor Posted December 21, 2011 A cool build, especially the palm trees are lovely. Nicely done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Cam Posted December 22, 2011 I had my honeymoon in Mexico and we visited done Mayan ruins, man these bring me back. I think they are very accurate to your pictures and even if the pictures were not there for reference, I think they would still be pretty recognizable.

Capt. Stabbin Posted December 23, 2011 Good job! Simplified, but really catches the feel of that ancient building. Expect it to be blogged soon! [bloggedcp][/bloggedcp] Thanks! It's a real honor to be on the frontpage of Classic-Pirates! A cool build, especially the palm trees are lovely. Nicely done! Thanks. I've been working with different palm variations. I think they work out nice. Nice touch although the palm trees shouldn't be there it's really nice :) It looks accurate to me except for the palmtrees but nevertheless great job Palm trees are all I have at the moment, and there has to be trees! It just isn't the same without them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Only Sinner Posted December 30, 2011 That area of Mexico is tropical rainforest. There are several varieties of palm trees in the region. Your interpretation is beautiful. Now, I'd like to see someone do the Mayan calendar, maybe for a 2012 party? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
