Lord of the Rings MOCs chronological index

SheepEater · June 2, 2013

Lord of the Rings is a fantastic theme.

Yeah, me having read the book in 1996-1998, a few years before the movies came out and I returning to Lego (2002) probably has a lot to do with me being infatuated and passionnate about this Lego theme like I've never been since... 2002.

The theme is great not just because Lego got a license and produced excellent sets, but because of the hard work and commitment of all the fans who didn't wait around for Lego sets and built for themselves LOTR MOCs for the last ten years (maybe even earlier than that... though as far I know no records show of LOTR mocs built before 2002).

Those MOCs were the only thing remotely keeping me interested in the Castle theme, because I never dug the Castle sets produced by Lego, even when I was a kid in the 80s.

Since there is currently no Lord of the Rings MOC index I propose to create one... with a twist.

I believe I have seen most, if not all of the movie's major scenes redone in Lego mocs over the years.

So I want the index to be chronological to the story.

There will probably be 15 or so Helm's Deep's...so be it. They will all be listed next to each other.

There will only be links, otherwise the page will be too large or take too long to load.

The goal is basically to show every scene in the ENTIRE story done in Lego, in a single topic.

I'll update this first post periodically with all the links to MOCs posted on this thread, and I'll have the job of arranging them chronologically - you can trust me on that, I'm re-reading the book as we speak and I've seen the trilogy at least 6 times. One of you doubted my tolkien-geekdom last year when I didn't remember who Gil-Galad was, I'm sorry about that. He is mentioned quite often in the beginning chapters but a long time had passed since I originally read the book in the 90s.

You've gotta help me though - I have a full time job, and can't find them all by myself. PM me, or post the links here!

* Orthanc/Isengard appears in many key scenes at different points in the storyline so it's hard to place it chronologically. Some scenes focus on the capture of Gandalf, others on the attack of the Ents. I'll place all Isengard MOCs together at the beginning of The Two Towers, since it's one of the titular Two Towers, though the action can takes place anytime in the first two movies/books.

**ZCerberus** · June 4, 2013

I'll pin this one for now, but it might need some more work. Can you reformat the links to look pretty?

Infernum · June 4, 2013

Great idea!

Here's a link to my Mount Doom MOC: Mount Doom :classic:

Thanks very much. :thumbup:

Sure, if you can give me some more pointers.

Yesterday evening I tried to fix all of my flicker links but it messed up my post severely in the process and for some reason lost many of my links, including all of my existing Orthanc and Mount Doom ones. I wish I kept a backup.

ShaydDeGrai · June 4, 2013

Nice idea.

Let's see if I can remember what I posted where. I have...

SheepEater · June 9, 2013

Keep em coming! I will keep updating the list.

I saw a huge model of the upper minas tirith (with tree, upper palace and white tower) posted here not long ago. I can't find it, would anyone find it for me?

Eurolock · June 9, 2013

I posted that in the thread about ideas for future LOTR sets. Chanced upon in when lookng for reference shots of Minas Tirith.

**ZCerberus** · June 9, 2013

Come on guys! Learn to format a link for Pete's sake!!

Just type in some text, highlight it, click the link icon and insert the URL.

No more of this unformatted long URL garbage, it looks uglier than a Mordor Orc!

I fixed all of them, I hope they are better now. Please tell me if there are any more mistakes.

**ZCerberus** · June 11, 2013

Done! Fantastic MOC, by the way. :wub:

And what bout Hobbit mocs?

That would be a good idea, but this one is strictly for LOTR. I'll leave that job to somebody else. If anyone is inclined to do so, feel free to use my original post as template.
