I really loved the Nya Mech which was recently shown in concept art by Nikolaj Mårbjerg Severin on Twitter, so I had to try to build it!
Here's my version of Nya's Elemental Water Mech
You can find the original concept art by Nikolaj Mårbjerg Severin here, the original model the art was based on was created by Niek van Slagmaat

Hey Ninjago fans! According to Niek van Slagmaat, Lloyd's Hydro mech is one of the few things that evolved out of being a crab, (Specifically a $40 Kai Crab Mech), which sounded way cooler than what we got, so much so that I made my own!

Hello everyone!
It's time to direct the spotlight toward our community members, and today we will get to know better Nathan Smith!
"My name is Nathan Smith (AKA Circus_Robot) and I'm a Creative Director living in Houston, USA with my wife and daughter.
I love creating expansive medieval and fantasy scenes out of LEGO and the exclusive photo i did for Brickcentral is the first in a series inspired by the new Knights Castle set released this year. More photos to come as I expand the MOC to include a bridge, waterfall, river, and town!
LEGO photography, for me, is the perfect blend of all the things I enjoy. I love building intricate scenes, I love cinematic lighting, and I love telling stories!
I first started taking pictures of some castle MOCs (My Own Creation) I was making back in 2019 and by chance stumbled upon BrickCentral and I was instantly hooked.
I started out with very basic equipment like flashlights and a kit zoom lens while learning the more technical aspects of photography.
With practice I became better over time but my process hasn’t changed much since then.
I always start with sketches or in some cases a specific movie frame I want to emulate.
Once I feel good about the thumbnails then I build out the scene with the camera setup so I can make sure all the components are where they are supposed to be in frame.
After most of the MOC is built I start to test the lighting setup. At this stage I do a lot of experimentation and fine tuning with light types, placements, intensity, colors, etc. Sometimes if the lighting doesn’t work I modify the scene or go back to the sketchbook to work out the problem and for the look I want.
Even now I think of myself as an amateur photographer using fairly basic consumer grade equipment. I primarily use a Canon 11-22mm zoom lens with a high aperture (11-24) for my photos to help immerse the viewer in the scene.
While I am passionate about the craft I consider it a hobby that I do purely for fun. My only problem is that my ideas keep getting bigger and bigger and my Lego space can’t keep up!"
Thank you Nathan for accepting our invitation and let the community knows you better!

I haven’t seen the new series yet and am avoiding spoilers BUT I think Arin and riyu should get to run rapton down on a bike of some sort.

As with my last Ninjago - A Shift in the Balance update, I once again added more pages to "Kazu's Journal".
This is an in universe journal written by Kazu with some extra info about the things seen in Chapter 5.
Hope you enjoy!

Went to the Lego store in the mall! I got a bag of bricks and used some of them to build a little Riyu! I got a green Lego pen, too, that I decorated with La-Loyd.
