J. R. R. Tolkiens Middle-earth

[Bobskink]

Nice list.

Maybe it's better to design the main characters first. If you want to get people involved en give the whole idea something "official", than maybe you should brainstorm, allong with the rest to make purist versions of some characters. Post pictures, compare etc... and finaly choose which oes is the definite Bildo... Pictures will always work better than text...

I'm trying to make a purist fellowship myself, but it's going very slow, I don't want to spend to mush money on it.

[badboytje88]

Since there is so much interest in a Tolkiens Middle-earth licence wouldn't it be a great idea to host a middle earth building contest?

[Darth Hawken]

Here is an image of the Fellowship, sorry I didn't get some of their faces.

I hope this inspires someone to build a LOTR MOC.

At the moment I'm trying to build LothLorien for "The Meeting of the Elves" but I am waiting for some peices from bricklink to arrive.

I will post it here when I finish.

By the way it won't be the whole thing just two trees one being the house where Celborn and Galadriel have their thrones (the bigest tree in the center of Lothlorien)

The other will be just an out post one with platforms and houses so I can have some warriors in the MOC.

That's a really cool fellowship. I like that it's almost 100% purist.

(I would just use other torso's for the two left Hobbits)

edit (That picture is doing strange things, check the previous page)

edit (That picture is doing strange things, check the previous page)

The reason for that would be I'm trying to find some decals or better torsos for Merry and Pippin beause Pippin had a blue vest and Merry had a yellow vest.

350 sets!

At the time I'm working on the "3.2.6 War of the Dwarves and Orcs". I believe I'm with the chapters "3.2.6.1 Battle of Azanulbizar" and "3.2.6.2 Sacking of Gundabad" finished.

I'm glad, it's working. Tolkiens world is bigger as I thought. But one day I will have Tolkiens world complete transform in LEGO set ideas. Why I do it? Because I want to show you what here in this world is possible. And we see that the possibilities are endless.

So, and now have fun and maybe you want to transform one from this ideas.

Hi,

I've started to list all armys and characters in the 4.2 Minifigure-collection. The first chapter is "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings". I think this listening give us a better overview concerning armys and minifigures.

I know, no everybody of you like fantasy. But I hope the others have fun and to get some good new inspirations for new mocs. And maybe is this idea-collection a good foundation for a great Tolkien theme starting winter 2012 (when the first Hobbit movie comes in the cinemas). And don't forget: Hollywood have great interest concerning the film rights for the Children of Hurin.

Greetings,

Elander

Woah not sure if it will take longer to read the list or build sets for it, i might tackle some of the hobbit ones.

[phantom6700]

Thats a very comprehensive list you've got there, although unfortunately it's quite unlikely that it'll ever get made. Ah well, one can dream.

[MattTheLegoman]

May I add that this list has inspired me to make my own. I am working on a list of 4 of the top sets:

However, I will not be able to build to the ultimate quality of @Darth Hawken, it will be all on LDD.

- A Long Expected Party [small set size]

Bag End, Bilbo Baggins, Sackville-Baggins, rockets, 2* party pavillions

Got a few things made

- Weathertop [large set size, coz its my favourite, Amon Sul Ruins , awesome]

Amon Sul ruins, statues camp fire, 3 Nazgul, Frodo, Strider with a torch. (Can 2 of the statues use minifigs? It would increase the population to 7.)

Almost done

- Elronds house [small set size]

Elrond, Awen(movie)/Glorfindel(book), Legolas.

Planning (no idea what to do)

- Balin's Tomb [medium set size]

A battle set mostly, a 3 goblins, cave troll, Gimli, Gandalf, and Frodo, Strider.

Got a few things made

- Battle of Amon Hen [medium set size]

Another battle set, Merry, Pippin, Boromir, 3 Uruk-Hai, 1 Lurtz (guy with crossbow), and more ruins!

Got a few things made

I will probably make a topic next week in the digital forum to continue what I have her.

Also, what is a normal colour cap for a set, like, how many different colours should can I use to make it a believable set.

Thanks for the inspiration and guidance with your collection @Elander!

Hi again,

I've a idea concerning Far Harad.

When I saw "The Return of the King" I've got by the scene "Paths of the Dead" the idea about a in dark shining elephant graveyard in Mumak-style (huge elephants).

->Here, by the movie-scene "Paths of the Dead" to appear shining houses were comes out many death soldiers. This part of the story is one of my favoriete LEGO-dreamsets (see "Hall of Fame").

Now the "Mumak Graveyard". This is for the Haradfolk a sanctuary. Why just a Royal Guard near by the entry-area sitting in a tower to keep watch. In case that the peace would be violated is near the Watchtower a beacon.

The old Mumak-bones and Mumak-skulls shining in the dark (these bricks would to be made of the same material like the LEGO-ghost). Here living the old spirit of the Mumaks. Why sometimes comes a old shaman to bring gifts and prays for the death Mumakils.

Summarized:

Exclusive-Set (8+):

01 Mumak graveyard/ (2 Minifigures)

Royal Guard with chrome black/dark red armor and dark red/golden helmet with dark blue hackle, lance and horn. Shaman with dark red robe (golden symols signed), blue/white colorfully painted face, bronze helmet with long feathers and two bones, magic wand and magical book

wooden tower with banner of Harad, beacon, in dark shining bones and skulls, rocks, 2 x small Mumak stonesculptures and grove of palms

Yes, I would love this set.

Would this be realistic?

Since Far Harad is described as a country the men of the West (and therefor the readers as well) know next to nothing about, it could very well be that the Mumakil are indeed their holy creatures which only their most honoured warriors are allowed to lead into battle. So them thinking of such a graveyard as a holy place is completely possible and a great addition to your already fantastic collection of amazing and possible sets
