Scene: You Shall Not Pass!

Glad you stopped to look at my Lord of the Rings scene. One of my favorite moments in both the film and movie is when Gandalf stood alone against the towering Balrog and stopped it in its tracks to save the rest of the fellowship, so when I saw a Lord of the Rings build challenge I knew it was my chance to recreate it. I hope I’ve captured the sense of that moment with this build.

The primary focus of the build is the standoff between the Balrog and Gandalf and so most of the build detail is in the brick built Balrog. I am specially proud that the mouth and eyes both glow with official Lego Lights.

Supporting this main element is the rock work, which is designed to create the cavern with 2 ledges, the pit and narrow bridge across. I also added dwarven door ways over the entrance to the cavern and the stars going out.

I’ve always wished for more Lord of the Rings Lego options and believe this moment, with a brick built Balrog would be a great one for them to consider.
