Anduin1710 Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. Barad-dûr was held together by dark magic and was the greatest fortress in all of Middle-earth. It was originally built in the Second Age and razed after Sauron's defeat in the War of the Last Alliance. Sauron had Barad-dûr rebuilt during the Third Age as he rose back into power, but the tower was forever destroyed immediately following the destruction of the One Ring, as it was constructed and held together using the Ring's dark magic. This project includes 5.364 pieces! In comparison, the 10189 Taj Mahal had 5.922 pieces! Here you can see the size compared to the Lego "The Tower of Orthanc". I think that's the perfect height for the tower, not too small and not too big. Please click on the images, to see them in HD. You can find all images on my Flickr album. It has 9 floors and they are: (ranging from below) : A basement with an old skeleton The Throne room A blacksmith with a door A Palantir Room A prison A kitchen A room with the helmets of the Nazgûl A library with ancient books about witchcraft and dark magic And a chamber with the 9 rings of the Nazgûl The minifigures are: King Elendil with his sword Narsil Isildur with a sword 2 soldiers, one with sword & shield and one with spear & shield 2 elven warriors with spears and shields Gil-galad with his spear Aiglos and blue shield Elrond with his sword Hadhafang 1 orc archer with a shield 1 orc with spear and shield Sauron with the One Ring and his mace A banner carrier with a lash 1 orc with sword and shield @all viewers: Now it's up to you. Vote for my project on lego ideas and make the dream come true. Please also look at my other projects and consider supporting and sharing them with your friends! :D Thank you for your attention.

Tuinman Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 This is Fantastic. What can I say more? Excellent MOC, nice details (the rings,the eye). Great job. Quote
Ql97 Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Words escape me. That would be the ultimate Lego set. You're renderings of the minifigures are quite good, I especially love Gil-Galad, Elendil, and Isildur. Quote
deraven Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Really great! It completely fits in with Orthanc and feels like a (huge!) retail set. I like the details like the 9 rings and the detailing around the lower part of the tower. I think the Eye could use a little more fire, though. I'd totally buy one! Quote
legojeroen Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 I saw this on Ideas and I voted right away, what a masterpiece! Quote
KristofBD Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Cool building, but it's the minifigs that are the real highlight for me - excellent work! Quote
Anduin1710 Posted September 25, 2015 Author Posted September 25, 2015 And to design the minifigures was a lot of work. Quote
Isundir Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 I hope this gets made into an official set, and I say that as somebody who generally dislikes Black sets and builds! Really fantastic grand build and the minifigs are really fantastic too Quote
Familyrosman Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 I supported at "Ideas" at once. Really cool set and I hope that LEGO decides to put it into production. Especially hope to see Gondor/Free men of the West minifigs In a set. Why not in a Barad-Dur set? Quote
TheWorldAhead Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Normally, I get frustrated when people advertise their Ideas sets here rather than just presenting creations as MOCs, but this thing is just staggering in its enormity, and I will support as soon as I can figure out my Ideas login information. We need to save LEGO LOTR, and I would love to see this behemoth next to my dearly bought Tower of Orthanc. The more LOTR projects people get to 10,000, the more TLG will have to acknowledge that we are all corrupted by the One Ring. Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Fantastic - that would be really great to have. Quote
ArchitectureFan Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Fantastic - that would be really great to have. I agree - this could be published by TLG. Quote
Balbo Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Very nice work - I love the minifigure selection, the interior and the size. Supported Quote
Tezclatipoca Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Amazing ! Great build and a good minifig selection Quote
TitusV Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Everything is really good executed, but if i have to choose one thing to give a comment about, IT would be the eye. Incredible how you did that Quote
legoig2000 Posted June 14, 2018 Posted June 14, 2018 I sincerely regret that this moc will never become a set. I had bought it immediately. I would love to see him at my home. Is it possible to get instructions from this fantastic set? Quote

InvincibleEagle Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 This fits extremely well with the commercial line, but isn't afraid to step beyond its bounds. 10/10 Quote
