LEGO Ninjago “Defense at the Monastery” MOC

Hello everyone! I have not posted in a long time and that is because I was busy starting my YouTube channel! In my channel I will be posting all my LEGO MOCs, LEGO tutorials, video game gameplay, and stop-motions. So please visit my channel and subscribe! I will put the link at the end of the review of this MOC.

I built a LEGO Ninjago MOC of the monastery that appears in season 1 and 10 of Ninjago. Btw I don’t have the actual set. Originally it was just supposed to be the monastery with a lot of moving parts that were featured in the training equipment like in the TV show. But the whole monastery was really small because I couldn’t find a good scaled LEGO baseplate. So everything was cramped and the playing features were hard to activate due to the size. Then I destroyed it and made it into “Defense at the Monastery” that is what I am calling it. Basically I took out all the training equipment and put firing weapons and spikes! Because in the TV show the Monastery never had a defense mode so I thought it would be cool to create that. I thought that if it was be an actual set I would put villains there attacking the monastery because it would be fun to use all the weapon features against them.

It features a cool opening circular door with gold swords on it. It opens up to reveal a circular entrance. Inside the monastery there is so much room! It can fit 8 minifigures. On the sides are swiveling two-shot cannons. one cannon has two flick-fire cannons that swivel around and the other one has a two spring-loaded shooters that swivel around and move up and down. On the sides of the Monastery it has a very sleek cool look and the two last section of the walls on either side open up like bay doors for the ninjas to go out in secret instead of the main entrance where all the villains are. In the center of the monastery there is a weapon rack with two swords that can be clipped on and clipped off the weapon rack, and there is one axe and one hammer that also can be clipped on and clipped off. then in the center of the weapon rack there is a special hand blade (in the show it is called the “time blade”) that can be taken on and off the rack. Finally in the back there is two “V” shaped hangings overhead like sentry places for the ninjas to watch if there are any enemies coming from behind. There are also spikes so if a villain tries climbing the back walls they will meet the giant spikes! This was an awesome build because it has so many play features! It’s like a cool ninja house!
