MOC of Ninjago Royal Palace & Temple - Updated 1/21

[BrianGT]

My wife and daughter are currently working on a playable (which turned into a much larger) moc of the Ninjago Royal Palace and the Temple of Resurrection. The palace is mostly done, but alot of work is needed for the inside throne room area (hasn't stopped daughter from playing with it). Right now the main palace area is completed, gate house to come shortly.

The ornate detailing is wonderful and the temple of resurrection is especially lovely.  keep up the good work.

I really like the rockwork beneath the balcony and the cobblestone on the balcony itself.  Matches your countertop!

[Dardanel]

I love these, they rock! Be sure to post updates as they add new stuff.

[BrianGT]

They got some work done on the back and sides with the rock facing and pathway. Voldermort is currently borrowing the temple.

Some progress has been made... the temple turned out a bit larger so we are going to add another 32 studs in the center of the garden to set it back futher... which means we need way more 1x2 trans light blue tiles....

How does this topic not have more comments?!  This is looking incredible! 

Wonderful job on the detailing - you really nailed the tiny decorations on the Royal Palace!

Master Builder party is a very nice touch! 

No idea if it's an original idea or not, but I like how you handled the waterfalls! Those sliding door pieces blend in nicely! And the water is well done also!

[Dardanel]

This is amazing! I never imagined it being turned into a full-fledged diorama! Keep those pictures coming :D

Wow, awesome!

[BrianGT]

More updates, added another garden/water section to the center and raised up the platform for the main palace by two studs.

Your diorama is looking really detailed and pretty! You've clearly put a lot of effort into this (especially the 1x2 trans tiles for water)

[Kintobor]

This is some fantastic work! The gazebo on the bank of the river is spectacular in its own right, but the entirety of it is coming along wonderful! Awesome stuff!

[BrianGT]

More progress, smaller side palace build, mini-unikitty guardian statues and some more water and cobblestone. We will pull out the statues a bit more when we have a larger front courtyard area so they don't disappear in the gray wall. Photos should be sized correctly now.

[BrianGT]

Mostly complete for now with the update to the first post, will work in the next few months on a gate house and link up with the city and docks sets

[Dardanel]

I can't believe this isn't getting more love! It's hella impressive. Do you plan on exhibiting this anywhere?

[Lordofdragonss]

WOAH, The detailing is amazing! Love that Party in the small pagoda ;D

[Hobbythom]

Such an awesome build, both in size and quality. Great stuff! 

[BrianGT]

Thanks for all the kudos, we hauled the moc over to a fundraiser at a local library this past weekend and decked it out with lots of minifigs. Roof battles and Dareth leading a tour group on the side. We will be bring it to Atlanta Brick Con this upcoming weekend and possible Alabama Brick Fair in January.

Ended up knocking out a gatehouse and courtyard for our local show.

[BrianGT]

Some updates complete, side courtyards with trees and statues have been added and work continues on the interior of the main palace. During work we have to take off the roof corners as they have become super prone to falling off.

Più progressi, costruzioni secondarie più piccole, statue di guardiani mini-unikitty e un po 'più di acqua e ciottoli. Tireremo fuori le statue un po 'di più quando avremo un'area del cortile anteriore più ampia in modo che non scompaiano nel muro grigio. Le foto dovrebbero essere ridimensionate correttamente ora.

fantastico

[Dardanel]

Just noticed the various statues. Can we get a few closeups of those? They look amazing.

[KotZ]

This is fantastic. There's so much cool stuff to look at.

[BrianGT]

Below are the four statues for the courtyards... they are suppose to be a turtle, tiger, dragon and phoenix/crane.

We will be brining this MOC to Brick Fair Alabama in January

[Dardanel]

These are amazing! They're quite recognizable, Although, with the tail like that, the tiger looks more like monkey :D In any case, my favorite has to be the dragon - it's incredibly well made.
