Inka diorama

[Subix]

For my LUG event I made diorama showing Central/South America natives in time when Spanish found them:

You can see detailed photos at: http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=533203

Diorama is interactive with spectators. On a pole in front of it there are six buttons. Three of them lit lights in three temples. One starts flahing lights in eyes of statues left and right of middle temple. One starts rotating calendan on the roof of right temple and one makes kanu came out of the waterfall and retrieve back. There was a plan for big sail ship to drive around the sea on old blue train rails, Unfortunately PFtrain motor was unable to smoothly drive 1,5kg heavy ship. I had no time to change propulsion to XL motor with correct transmission.

Shouldn't tis be in the pirates forum? Still, it's a lovely display, and I especially like the temple.

Nice diorama, but you messed up the pre-columbean tribe names in the title. Architecture here is more Mayan, or Aztec rather than Inkan, also, you say it's Central America, and Inkas lived in SOUTH America. Besides on flickr the title clearly says Chichen Itza, which was a Mayan city, not Inkan. So, the post title should be "Mayan Diorama".......

I totaly agree with you (but I can't change title now).

Diorama was not ment to reproduce exact historical facts. It is mix of Inka, Aztek and Maya culture. Some parts are my fiction (like calendar on top of right temple). Statues on top of pyramids are also fictional, sources just claim some kind of statuse suppose to be there. They never used north america indian style kanus with sails! Big ship is galeon used some 200 years after America was discoverd (should be caravela).

Entire MOC was build just to entertain visitors of exhibition.

And I don't thing forum is wrong. MOC has non pirate elements.

Thank you for commnets.

You should consider posting this in the pirate forum as well. I know the people there would be interested in seeing it if they havent already.

Looks great, yes indeed looks like Temple I from Tikal and the other constructions looks fantastic too.

Well done.
