Tashichho Dzong Okay, another building project (this time on the surface, hehe). I decided to make it as a tribute to Alston Tan, an artist at Inflexion Games who created a Bhutan building set. I chose to recreate Tashichho Dzong, a Buddhist monastery and fortress on the northern edge of Thimphu, Bhutan. You can read about its history here.

I knew that even the central building is massive, so for this project, I started a new realm to use all the building limits exclusively for it.

I began with photo research, then sketched it on paper and made draft calculations.

Once I had my 'shopping list,' my factory started producing the needed materials (thanks to the new queue feature). Meanwhile, I landed in the new realm to find a beautiful place for the large foundation. After leveling the ground, I began executing my plan. As always, there were a few broken legs and even death (from hunger), but the project was completed.

Then, I added back some greenery for a more natural look. Here is the final result and a few more photos of the sights.

Zeppelin and a Buddhist monastery!

Meanwhile there's me trying to build a simple pyramid, but can't find a flat enough surface or struggle with the numbers to work out the foundation 😂

Lanah Tyra if you want to build a stepped one, then you can start with

11x11
9x9
7x7
5x5
3x3
1

that's 6 floors and 286 blocks, so you have a few more for decoration )

Oh wow! I've visited Tashichho Dzong, but I was not expecting it to come up here. Fantastic choice and fantastic build!

A different trip back in 2019 in which my mum and I went to Japan, India, and Bhutan together. Bhutan is truly one of the most special countries on earth. I felt very privileged to visit!

My age is going to show... but the first thing I thought of when I saw this bounty was:

'It's the Leaning Tower of Cheeza" (in a Pauly Shore dialect) from A Goofy Movie 🤣

I may decide to try building something to submit, but even if I don't I'm really looking forward to seeing what everyone else creates!! What a cool bounty :)

Welp, here is my very sad attempt to recreate the Temple of the Sun in Palenque Mexico. Totally forgot there was a build limit in Nightingale and definitely bit off more than I could chew with my horrible math and scaling skills.
