Mini Ninjago City Gardens

The Ninjago City Gardens is one my favourite Lego sets of all time, and mini builds are some of my favourite MOCs to design. Shortly after I finished building this set I started to build a mini build of it, but I didn't finish it, so when I saw this contest I thought I had to finish it and submit it because it would fit so perfectly.

I love how the original set uses so many creative and clever building techniques, using pieces that I thought I'd never see outside of their original intended use. I tried to keep this concept by using some of my own creative and clever building techniques in this model.

This model includes all 19 of the minifigures that were included in the original set (including golden Sensei Wu). This model is also able to separate into the same individual parts as the original set. I've fit in as many small details as I can to make this model as accurate as possible.

The model is scaled to be about 3x smaller than the original set, and uses 877 pieces.
