BrianGT Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) 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. Edited January 21, 2019 by BrianGT Images too big. Resize before deeplinking.

Agent Kallus Posted August 13, 2018 The ornate detailing is wonderful and the temple of resurrection is especially lovely. keep up the good work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grey Magistrate Posted August 13, 2018 I really like the rockwork beneath the balcony and the cobblestone on the balcony itself. Matches your countertop! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dardanel Posted August 14, 2018 I love these, they rock! Be sure to post updates as they add new stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrianGT Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) They got some work done on the back and sides with the rock facing and pathway. Voldermort is currently borrowing the temple. https://i.imgur.com/O4WOlXY.jpg https://i.imgur.com/1DfvypN.jpg Edited September 8, 2018 by LuxorV Images too big. Resize before deeplinking.

BrianGT Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) 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.... https://i.imgur.com/cTlddzB.jpg https://i.imgur.com/yvpXagg.jpg https://i.imgur.com/7sLaiKG.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Yap2NoI.jpg https://i.imgur.com/8Fgd80L.jpg And Mistake is hosting a master builder tea party in the garden https://i.imgur.com/SavX60v.jpg https://i.imgur.com/X2GbxGc.jpg Edited September 8, 2018 by LuxorV Images too big.

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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dardanel Posted August 29, 2018 This is amazing! I never imagined it being turned into a full-fledged diorama! Keep those pictures coming :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrianGT Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) More updates, added another garden/water section to the center and raised up the platform for the main palace by two studs. https://i.imgur.com/R7FstA2.jpg https://i.imgur.com/AExDYHJ.jpg https://i.imgur.com/LFyGjxp.jpg https://i.imgur.com/uKSlFBE.jpg https://i.imgur.com/81meCvR.jpg https://i.imgur.com/TeBdjEp.jpg Edited September 8, 2018 by LuxorV Images too big.

Venefic Posted September 6, 2018 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) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kintobor Posted September 8, 2018 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrianGT Posted September 21, 2018 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 Posted September 30, 2018 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dardanel Posted October 4, 2018 I can't believe this isn't getting more love! It's hella impressive. Do you plan on exhibiting this anywhere? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hobbythom Posted October 7, 2018 Such an awesome build, both in size and quality. Great stuff! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrianGT Posted October 8, 2018 (edited) 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.

BrianGT Posted October 14, 2018 Ended up knocking out a gatehouse and courtyard for our local show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrianGT Posted November 8, 2018 (edited) 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.

tecnomod Posted November 25, 2018 On 21/9/2018 at 19:46, BrianGT said: 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dardanel Posted November 25, 2018 Just noticed the various statues. Can we get a few closeups of those? They look amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KotZ Posted November 25, 2018 This is fantastic. There's so much cool stuff to look at. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrianGT Posted November 27, 2018 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dardanel Posted November 27, 2018 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
