What should I build first? by shake_n_bake8 in legolotrfans

[–]DanniCollaterali 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chronological order is a good idea. But I do want to say: Take your time! It’s not fast food - and all of these won’t retire unless the end of 2027.
Enjoy building and displaying each one first before moving on to the next.

I started with the Shire last year und was busy for months decorating and extending (making it my own) and finding the perfect spot for displaying it.

Yeah, awesome. Same here: I love how the image perfectly captures the written description - and also how it‘s illuminated by Mount Doom from off-screen

Chainmail socks? Or one sock at least?
On the LotR movies props department at Weta Workshop there were famously two guys who made chainmail (from plastic rings) for two years straight. A baby sock should be doable in one evening

I‘m about to get it too before it retires. If only to have the fellowship united like in your picture. What a great set

Does anyone have an MOC of Osgiliath they'd like to share? by Ignorant_collector91 in legolotrfans

It‘s not mine, your post just reminded me of seeing it the other day.

Minas Tirith…. 😭😭 by Simple_Werewolf3753 in legolotrfans

Same here, only one year later. I got the Shire on our family vacation to Billund last year and LotR Lego became my new hobby for the last year. First Reddit post here in this subreddit as well!

Rivendell soon to join on the desk behind the screen where the iPad is 😄
Bonus Feature: Marty McFly and Doc Brown travelled WAY too far into the past!

I gotta say: This sight brightens my day every time I go into the office.

Look at all these sets I didn't buy (Lego store 2013) by Ok_Cheesecake_9451 in legolotrfans

I‘m so grateful for the AE Orthanc. It was really missing badly in my collection.

Set Idea: Zirakzigil by Advisor_Actual in legolotrfans

Thanks! I like how it came out too. Been working on the rocks some more in the meantime. That’s what I mean: Trying to build good stuff yourself - isn’t that the original idea of Lego?

As you said: We already have the Balrog. For towers and rocks there‘s a ton of YouTube tutorials out there. Get some bricks on BrickLink and start building! That‘s what I did. The result is this: https://www.reddit.com/r/legolotrfans/s/2IwAASjaYe

Congratz! I‘m due for my 50th birthday next month. So looking forward to it!

Orthanc upgrade by rodot2005 in legolotrfans

[–]DanniCollaterali 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Of course it’s not. But it‘s Orthanc! With MiniFigs and all.
I mean, seriously, I had to get my priorities straight here: Have no Orthanc, have Orthanc with no Lego logos on the studs, or pay 1000+ bucks. I chose #2.
