ElviN Posted September 19, 2016 Black Jade Pavilion This model presents a typical scene in Chinese royal garden. It is based on a corner view of the famous Summer Palace in Beijing, China. There are two buildings in the scene. The single-level one is named Moyu Xuan, and the other one is called Danxia Ge in Chinese, Which means black jade and rosy cloud. The rockeries in the middle of the model along with lotus in the lake, the whole model represents peace and harmony in Chinese culture. Some features: Build on a 32x32 baseplate. All doors and windows can be opened. Flare angles of the cornices are fixed by hinge plates which connected to a 1x4 plate with 2 knobs. they are very stable. All buildings and the tree can be removed easily. moyudanxia01 by ElviN, on Flickr moyudanxia02 by ElviN, on Flickr moyudanxia03 by ElviN, on Flickr moyudanxia04 by ElviN, on Flickr moyudanxia05 by ElviN, on Flickr moyudanxia06 by ElviN, on Flickr For more images and my other creation, please visit my Flickr page: https://www.flickr.com/photos/jxelvin/ C&C are welcome!

MAB Posted September 23, 2016 Nice! I think the roof might be improved slightly by using inverted arches (30099) instead, so you don't get the 'empty' side showing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Staslegomaster Posted September 26, 2016 I supported it LEGO ideas because it's cute. I'm a fan of Oriental architecure. So far we saw it only in LEGO samurai 1999. Fans hope that sky pirates -bad guys of ninjagos -Will become real sets of Oriental pirates. That may be a new wave of the 30 years of pirates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

x105Black Posted October 7, 2016 This is a fantastic build. It definitely evokes the Chinese architecture that inspired it. The tree and rock are also well done, as is the overall presentation. Good job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aanchir Posted October 20, 2016 Brilliant MOC! I love how you built the roofs! It would be awesome to see this technique in a future Ninjago or Architecture set. The color scheme (red, brown, black, and gold) is also quite lovely! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
