Arqangelx1 Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) Hi everyone! This would be my first post although I've been reading this forum for years now. It's not as complex as some of the other MOCs I've seen here and my photography skills are not that great so I will have to learn from this post and try to make it better next time. Inspired by some of the works I've seen here and by the new Lego hulk buster armor I decided to take a shot at "The Balrog of Moria". As many here, I was quite disappointed that the Lego LOTR series wasn't continued and I wished Lego had made a proper set of the Balrog... but well it gave me an excuse to try my hand at MOCing (after so many years). Some of the pieces should be replaced once I get them in the proper colors, and I left some grey so that the figure wouldn't look so plain as I find happens sometimes when the design is monochrome. I decided not to try to make wings (I only have one pair of the black dragon wings and they are on my Fellbeast...) but instead just go for the general profile they should give. The fire on its back is a little random, I may just adjust it later, but for now I am quite please with how it turned out. I hope you guys enjoy it and leave me some comments! I will certainly try to learn from this experience and hope to post some more MOCs in the future.

DSC_0114 by arqangelx1, on Flickr I am new to posting stuff on forums, so I hope the images can show what I tried to make. You can see more at my Flick or ask for any other images! Thanks all enjoy!

Balbo Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Great work I really like how your Balrog turned out! Especially the head with the fire pieces looks very nice Quote
TheGreyPilgrim Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Great MOC. Thanks for sharing. I too really like the Balrog. Your build is making me reconsider an attempt to build one of my own. Quote
Arqangelx1 Posted April 12, 2015 Author Posted April 12, 2015 Thx for your comment Balbo and TheGreyPilgrim! I hope to see more LOTR MOCs to get inspired myself! so many missing sets... I will share some of the other small MOCs n MODs I've made later Quote
