LOTR in 2013

CCC

A hooded Aragorn / Strider is quite easy to make, just use a cloak and hood.

^ I would hope that it would be a slightly altered Minifigure from the usual as well as just the addition of a cape and hood.

@samiam39 - I never pictured the Steward of Gondor having such curves. However, staring into a Palantir and mind wrestling with Sauron does warp your basic nature.

*slaps forhead* zoned out on the £ vs $ - Would £49 be enough to support a nice Smaug? Looking for equivalent £ priced sets I ran into #50011 Battle for Helm's Deep Game. It has a quite presentable mini Helm's Deep. I missed any mention of it here at Brickset.

This theme is so poor on ladies that it hurts. A hobbit woman is at least way out of reach - so here's my shot at making Rose Cotton (Samwise' girl). :-)

Has anyone got a high res scan of the sticker sheet for Orthanc? I am after printing the five wizards, the eye and the book covers on decals.

That is nice, apart from the yellow chest. That is often a problem with female torsos crossing from licensed to non-licensed or vice versa.

@CCC Wish I had thought to do that before applying the stickers *slaps forehead*, but will remember in future the scanner is right over there in the corner.

The Forbitten Pool. Made of 1,5 x 4192 Fountain of Youth, a 30212 Mirkwood Elf Guard, Frodo and Smeagol and the new rope.

@icey117 Nicely done! Small scale vignette that effectively captures the scene. I'm going to steal your idea for my collection of LoTR/Hobbit builds.

^ and you gave the unloved Mountain Climber a reason to be picked from CMF11.

Wow! Nice MOC!
