CCCX The Temple of Dawn
During a period of peace and prosperity., the Temple of Dawn was a place for shogun, samurai and daimyo to pursue and develop art forms intended to keep the minds of military men off of war.
Ever since I took part in the CCC, I’ve always wanted to enter the Master Builder category. However, I never seemed to have the time/parts to do it. This year I got the chance.
The temple itself is quite large. It is 17 inches tall, 24 inches in length and 20 inches wide. I started building it for the Misc. Category a week before the contest began. So this build, is the product of two and a half weeks’ time, not one and a half. The inspiration for this came from some beautiful concept art which I found online. I knew that I would need more than just great concept art to build a worthy entry so I asked Blake if he would give me some CC on the work in progress. He provided vital input on the build. The rest is history.
Thanks for all the support,

This is really nice, the structure is very impressive. I feel the landscaping overpowers the road/stream areas a bit, but it is all very vibrant. I wish we all could send out our WIP to the reigning MB if they turn out like this!

I love it! All of the intricate woodwork is awesome, and the landscape is fantastic. I especially like the curved roof.
