Mayan Ruin (WIP)

[Meddatron]

This is something I have been working on for a site member over at OG13. Base and back wall are seperate pieces, as well as the alter and statue thing. I always feel as much modular the better. I need to somehow incorporate a couple of trees yet. Thinking I might make a dirt base that the ruin sits on with a few trees on it. not sure yet. I want this dio to be stand alone, "framed" so to speak, which is why the vines do not go above the rock. Anyhow, thanks for looking.

 

[Dropshipbob]

Oh man that is awesome. Certainly has the Mayan look!

 

[Keenan]

Ohhh, I like that!!

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Hotness!...very very convincing as stone...Only thing I'd recommend is more rubble and overgrowth like grass/weeds/moss from the cracks...

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

AND some kind of "star god" picture/symbol.

How about Pakal?

 

[Meddatron]

Thanks guys!

Yup totally agree Eddie. i got some scraps being painted right now for me to throw around in spots. Also need to find some more convincing plant growth. I figure i am gonna wait to incorporate more green till I figure out where to add a few trees.

AND some kind of "star god" picture/symbol.

I looked at that bad boy. Am not sure i can carve it. All the god ones, sky ones are intricate as hell. Very tough to do. I punked out in picking the one i picked. lol.

 

[Charade]

Man, that looks awesome, Medd!

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

What's the one that looks like a skull with sun rays emanating from around it. Sits above a doorway, I believe... can't remember off hand. Might be from Machu Picchu.

 

[Meddatron]

I'm not sure. Their writing is confusing. That one may be a combo of a few. i just used a basic symbol from here.

I'm pretty sure these can be added to other symbols to make new words.

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

Can't find the actual carved glyph, but here's a modern take on it - Sun God

 

[K-Tiger]

Needs one of these:

Granted, it's Aztec, but it looks good. Too bad there's no Satanico Pandemonium in 1:18.

 

[Meddatron]

thats things bitchin KT, I kept seeing that in every search i did for symbols. Its a Calender with Tonatiuh right?

 

[K-Tiger]

Yeah, Aztec sun calender.

 

[MMorelock66]

Very badass! I might try something similar.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

"NO IWAL!!"

*use Medds graph to decode *

 

[Charade]

I'm curious how the alter would look with some dark red/brown stains from dried blood.

 

[Dark Horse]

Friggin' epic work, mate!

 

[Monkeywrench]

DAMN!!!!

Looks Badass!!!

 

[footloose]

DAYUM!!!!!!

 

[Fled74]

Brilliant work, dude.

 

[Meddatron]

Thanks all, here it is all finsihed. Added another lower tier and some jungle.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

That's pretty sweet. Not sure how I missed it last night.

For the vines, could I suggest maybe painting them on? Using some moss/foliage from those little foamy-moss packets you can find at craft stores, put some bits here and there and literally paint the vines on the wall? You could use hot glue or regular glue to draw them on so they were slightly raised, then glue the moss in spots and connect it with green moss weathering? Just a thought. That's how I did it on my jungle ruins.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

For example, here's the pre-painted and post-painted vine growth. Granted, it's on the ground, but I think I had it snaking up the walls. Sorry for the crappy WIP pics, they're from my old phone when I made this forever ago.

 

[Meddatron]

Thanks brother!

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Although after looking at more ruin pics, the thick twiggy-looking branches are maybe more accurate? I dunno. I think a little extra moss/mold/green may be cool, but it's fine as-is. Killer work.

I really need to get some more dios made...

 

[Monkeywrench]

Med, that is some amazing work bro! I dig!

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

That thing is beautiful man...very nice work...I dig all the etra foliage you added, really brings it to life

 

[PROVOST]

Excellent work!!!

 

[Rick]

Great job with the carving

 

[Meddatron]

thanks all!! much appreciated!!

 

[The Willoughbian]

Looks great. Great job on the stone work.

 

[Fled74]

Phenomenal job, Medd!

 

[Meddatron]

Buyer in Denmark could not afford the shipping. 50 bucks, ouch. dont blame him. Anyway, now i cant decide if i want to keep or find a new buyer. decisions decisions.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

$50 shipping?!...for foam?!...does it disassemble or is the reason shipping is high due to a massive box?

 

[Meddatron]

you got it, massive box, was just outside the cheap shipping dimension wise.

 

[Falcon C]

very nice job. looks like real stones.

 

[Monkeywrench]

Whatever happened to this? Do you still have it?

 

[Meddatron]

I still have it. used it in a few pics, probably will again. Not sure what I will do with it in the long run.
