Great build! I really like the SNOT techniques.

This is such spectacular architecture! The whole construction is stunning! And the use of tiles is great!!

monumental!

I just spent way too much time "Google-ing" Le'kyn... what the bloody heck does it mean? Awesome build you have here, it looked so massive in real life, and yet it almost looks small here in these photographs... Bah! It must be my imagination...

It's okay. Could be better... Wait. What am I saying? The whole thing is Beautifully done! I love the amount of detail you were able to put into this thing especially for being a TFOL. It shows us TFOLs can do anything a AFOL can do (LEGO wise anyway).

OMG! This is amazing! This is also on the Brother's brick.

very nice great work on the temple and the intrior, the stone statues and the water was a nice touch.

great temple JD! this looks huge. the exterior is done really well, as the interior is also. this may seem a little late, but congrats on getting blogged on TBB! ~nickeal1

realy how much did it all cost 100 175 200 what? You may actully get a chance to see some of my WIP soon and see that I'm not bluffing but actuly I do have a Lord of the Rings thing that is almost ready to post so if you like LOTR then keep an eye out.

Amazing snot work! One of the best building constructed in recent memory!

Never has man created a word to describe a work of art like this, Great job!

Yes, this is my biggest project. Off the top of my head I guesstimate it to be about four times the size of any castle building I've made up until this point. BrickLink sellers definitely profited from this temple.

Well it's nice and all but this is you biggest project? The outside is good but could use some more detail the inside is missing alot and whats with the sqaures on the wall. but you did conqour the big gray wall syndrome even though you only used one shade of gray. sorry if this sounds too negitive but if only you could see some of my work in progris you would understand.

One of your best! Great build.

cool

Brilliant! I wondered how this would turn out, and I must say I'm impressed!

Oh wow JD, great job, I wish my Mech Bay 16 had some of these details. Very well done. I am studying how you did this. Between this and Sean's Stock Exchange facade, I really want to try out this style more. Thanks for the inspiration!

Brilliant! This really turned out great, looks simple and complicated at the same time, any way it doesn't matter, what matters that it's very beautiful piece of art, as expected from you, just keep building >>> peace.. Firas

Great build, nice detail. I love the fountain.

Hey JD, this is a beautiful build! I wish I could have seen it in person! I'm currently building the local courthouse with LEGO and it's a wallet thinning, bricklink hoggin' project as well! So I know the feeling! LOL

Hi Jesse! We didn't get to talk as much as I would have liked, but I want to say that this temple is incredible. We were honored to have it in the Castle display and it was a favorite with the public. Well done, sir, well done.

Not bad at all. I think that this really came out great! It's good to see it finally completed and I hope you had some fun at BrickCon. -Dylan

Wow, you really have used a lot of bricks and tiles to that! Really nice work, I just hope that it could be a little, note, little bit more detailed.

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL, JD!!! Some of your best work yet. Glad to hear Brickcon was good, too...but hey, it's Seattle. How could it NOT be good?

Not only it's higly personnal, but it's also perfectly done. You're really in the top team of the TFOLs and one of the best builder on MOCpages !

Dude... this is most impressive. Nice work here. I wish you would have given some more detail shots of the front though.

As lame as this may sound, I like the stairs! JD, you have always known me to build large stuff, this however utilizes both the large aspect and your excellent skills!! Very majestic!

Very nice detailed work.

It was a pleasure to meet you JD, you are mature beyond your years. Your placement on my favourite builders was earned by the quality of your work, and you continue to impress. Lee.

Nice. I need a summer project for next year. Until then, I have a winter project!!!

JD, this is spectacular. Architecture is hard to do well when you attempt the use of classical influences. The proportions and weight of each element have to be carefully considered. You have done a superb job of managing these disparate components. If I may make one minor suggestion, (and maybe I just can't seethis from the pictures), your two small columns could benifit from a small capital to matchthe base you have given them. Regardless, this is outstanding and you should feel very proud of this amazing accomplishment!

This is a very impressive creation. The fountain is a nice touch as are the statues. Excellent work.

I'm glad you had fun at Brick-Con. I need a convention to take place in Cleveland.

Nice!

This is awesome! I especially like the entrance and the details.

This is really amazing!

Well, the word has been used here several times: impressive. I really can't think of a better word to describe this.

Beautiful build JD! This is by far your best creation and it matches up to creations built by many great AFOL's. Well Done, Wish I could have seen it in person.

Nice to see it all finished. Glad you had a great time at BrickCon. Unlike SP I think that an ancient temple might be big, boxy and unadorned. see ya. garth

Awesome JD, the architecture is great, and its a really smooth and good-looking build all-around. Fantastic! ~T

Impressive work. I like the style that you used and the detail of the opponent elements (water and fire)

Very nice stone-working! It looks like these monks would be pretty good at fighting for thier beliefs...speaking of which, prehaps a seiging of this temple would be cool...

Nice. Love the clean effect of the sides as well as the front plaza area. The inside could be less spartan IMO, but a very good job overall. 5/5

hm...I dunno, I think that's not as creative as your other works. It's merely a big grey box. Not that it is bad, it's nicely done, but to me it's almost a bit.....boring.

Wow! That is really cool! All that shiny tiling makes me wish i had your budget for lego. SO MANY TILES!!

You know what? It isn't that half bad.

Impressive build! Very clean lines. I want them skills!
