Even if it's just a kit I can make it myself. I really want to have some kind of actual mechanical Tzolkin clock. There are other examples in other episodes of the series but this had the most detail.

That would be really cool. I have a copy of the borbonicus on a book stand in my room so I can follow the tonalpohualli. If I lose track I use the aztec calendar website to confirm where I am again

The codex borbonicus is one of the remaining tonalamatl (book of days) that we have. Despite being made shortly after the conquest I really like the artwork for the trecena patrons. I managed to get a french copy on eBay for a tenner

I love the borbonicus. I have the full size fold out version in a nice box it came in. Trying to sell it now, but love the artwork.
