LoTR:LEGO Originals

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the time-on-hands-feet-and-everywhere dept.

kiddailey writes "What do you get when you combine standard Lego bricks with Lord of the Rings? A really cool version of Bag End that would make any LOTR and Lego geek as happy as Smeagol with a stomach full of fisheses. If only I could be so creative... or have so much spare time. Be sure to check out his whole gallery of cool lego builds."

    A few weeks ago I stumbled across this great site.
    Lego Bible stories! Even for non-religious types, the cool photography and often hilarious captions make for hours of entertainment.

    if you still liked playing with LEGOS and it was a computer case made out of legos by Paul Rea : "I then got the idea to make the entire case out of LEGOS. I had originally intended to make the drives on stilts of LEGOS but that did not work out as well as I had hoped. Over that first month I thought of several concepts and finally decided to build the case you now see in the attached photographs" - this won the mod contest organized by directron.com.

    ...can be found here.

    I actually prefer this approach, because although some of the character design details aren't as well executed as in the posted article (this guy is using more generic legos), he's going much further overall, re-creating the story with approprately composed and lit photographs. Kick-ass!

    Also, the humorous element of using legos is more apparent - the Moria "Watcher in the Water" is one of the funniest single images I saw on the web this year (yeah, I'm a Tolkien geek _and_ a lego geek. Watch out, ladies!)

    BTW, this is part of a larger collection of fun lego pages, here's the main directory.
