Capt. Stabbin Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 San Gervasio is a Maya site located on the island of Cozumel in Mexico. It was a site of pilgramage to give offerings to the godess Ixchel. From Wikipedia about this particular building: Nohoch Nah Meaning: Big House Constructed during: Terminal-Classic (1000-1200 AD) and Post-Classic (1200-1650 AD) Location: North of the District 1 Central Plaza With its intact roof, this is one of the best preserved buildings in San Gervasio. Inside, (closed off to the public, but visible through the doorway) the interior walls still show signs of a red, ochre and blue mural. This building was a temple dedicated to Ku’kul’kan, the feathered serpent god. The actual site (not my pictures): Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 Fine build (based on the strange original ) - with very good trees and excellent SNOT-work. Brick on! Quote
Balbo Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 Excellent work . I love the different techniques for the trees! Quote
LittleJohn Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Fantastic work! I really like the colors of the house and the trees are great as well Quote
Maxim I Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 I really like how much it looks like the original! Great job :) Quote
kabel Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Awesome stuff. I've actually been to several of these sites, so I really appriciate this moc. However what strikes me as especially cool is that glass table of yours, it just really makes for a nice water effect! Quote
Captain Dee Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 That's a very nice historically-correct build. I'm glad you shared the reference photos, too. The crumbling building is nice and I like the variety of trees. Good choice on the 1x1 round brick palm trunks - I think it looks more realistic than the standard pieces. And kabel is right about the table - it would make an excellent base for all kinds of pirate-theme builds. Quote
Gary The Procrastinator Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Great build, I really enjoy LEGO interpretations of actual locations and events. You've done a wonderful job on this one. Quote
