Rivendell

A builder named Sharon displayed a number of great Lord of the Rings MOCs at BrickBash earlier this year. If someone could direct me to her personal Flickr/Brickshelf/MOCpage, I'd be much obliged. Anyway, here is her Rivendell.

Sam Fights Shelob

Sam Fights Shelob by JustinR.

Aragorn takes the Paths of the Dead

Aragorn takes the Paths of the Dead by Pjurkovi.

Burning of Denethor

Jackson Williams built the Burning of Denethor.

Mount Doom

Soccersnyderi built Mount Doom.

Smaug the Golden

Fat Tony made this amazing Smaug (via Model Building Secrets).

Heroica Middle Earth

Johannes Maaßen has a fun idea, to recreate locations from the Lord of the Rings in the LEGO Heroica style. These are MOCs in themselves, but could also be used in Heroica gaming. Here is his Weathertop. Note that it has the little campfire in a hollow below the summit, then steps up to the ruins at the top.



Here is the Golden Hall of Meduseld.



My favorite, though, is the Ithilien Crossroads. Note the detail of the decapitated statue of the kings, with the head lying off to the side with a crown of flowers.

Micro Bag Ends

Here are two micro versions of Bag End by MooseBot and TomSolo93.

Discovering Moria

Christoffer Björkskog built Discovering Moria.

Beacon of Amon Din

Legopard built the Beacon of Amon Din.

Argonath

Noah McClung shows the company of the Ring paddling past the statue of Anarion.

Weathertop

Once two strangers went up Weathertop, lookin' for a moonshine still.
Sorry, wrong hill.
TheBrickAvenger built this great scene of the attack on Weathertop.

In a hole in the ground lived a hobbit

Legostone built this wonderful hobbit hole.

Orthanc

John 55555 imagines what his Orthanc would look like as an official set. I think John 55555 actually did the MOC and Brickthing helped put together the box art.

Where none dare tread

by Pjurkovi.

Three, um, four is company

Mr. Xenomurphy presents a famous scene from before Frodo even left the Shire. He notes that the movies (both of them) tricked him into misremembering that Merry didn't join the company until they got to Buckland.

Bakshi poster

Xenomurphy built this great version of the movie poster from the old Bakshi version of the Lord of the Rings.

Helm's Deep again

I know I just featured this MOC, but this picture of DNL's Battle of the Hornburg is even more awesome.

Bridge of Khazad-dûm

K.Kreations illustrated the Bridge of Khazad-dûm.

Street art

I guess this street art was created by Planet Streetpainting as part of San Diego Comic-Con. I'm surprised I hadn't seen it before, but it looks like it was sort of behind the Convention Center (in that open area by the water to the southeast), so maybe fewer con attendees actually saw it.



I always find it fun to see these from another side to see how the illusion was created.
