Epic, love it!

Thanks @Grin! Even though Ninjago City is supposed to be a chaotic, bustling metropolis, I find that it helps to chunk up this kind of large, busy build with the help of color for it to not be perceived as cluttered. Especially when this is only a fraction of the total city footprint as in the case of my, and most other Lego cities (pardon the lack of pictures of it in context, I’ll add some once I’ve taken proper pictures).

Thank you! The sign was actually the thing that initiated this build. The movie version of Ninjago City is full of huge signs on the buildings but the official sets lack them altogether.

Wonderful, very clever parts usage. Great work!

Awesome project and progress, following!

Thank you @Feuer Zug! Only the bottom floor foyer of the hotel is decorated (reception desk, elevator, chandeliers, potted flowers etc) but I might add more if this ever makes it to a convention.

Hi, this is my second MOC and first Ninjago City module. It’s a 32x32 baseplate with a height of 75 cm (2.5 feet) and a piece count of around 6500. Features: A large, lavish hotel with a "Ninjago Movie-esque" sign written in ninjargon (it simply says "HOTEL") A beach with an ice cream shop and springboard "I ❤️ NC" souvenir stand where you can buy ninja figurines, shirts, plush toys and more Thai restaurant with outdoor seating Air scooter rental (inspired by the jewelry thief from Ninjago City Gardens)

Smart choice of scene, it’s easily recognizable! Great work with the minifigs, the short haired Cersei is especially on point. Nice work on the architecture as well. I’d appreciate a slightly more muted color scheme for the map, I feel that the current colors, especially the azure and lime, give the scene a too bright and cheery feel.

Lovely color scheme! I particularly appreciate the deep and wavy archway in the forefront, and the textured walls inside it.

Great and unique shaping of the mountain! The details you’ve added really contributes to a great atmosphere.

You’ve managed to tell a rich and fun story with a really limited footprint. Great idea and execution! Personally I would have considered having the open doll house style wall of the tax collector’s office on the right side of the gate so that the whole story could be seen from the same (45 degree) angle.

Love the vibrant color scheme and the floating islands and waterfalls. I also think you’ve struck a great balance between tiles and exposed studs, especially on the surface of the water. The scene would have been great even without the dragon, but that’s of course a sizable icing on the cake :)
