how to make the "el castillo" model

step 1: scale all measurements of the original El Castillo to a suitable dimension

step 2: brainstorm on 1 or 2 materials that are easy to cut and join to form the proposed model


step 3: mass production (of the terrace steps)


step 4: glue the components (terrace steps) together


step 5: assembly


step 6: construction of the staircases

Note: due to the scale of model, the details of each steps are conveniently represented as slopes

step 7: joining of the terrace and the staircases


step 8: completion of the terrace


step 9: cover the top of the pyramid and addition of the temple block


(the truth underneath, again)
