LOCATION:The Dark Fortress of Barad-Dur Set Concept

Barad-dur is one of the most iconic locations in Lord of the Rings.Unfortunately we didn't get Barad -dur in the original run of the theme.

While building Barad dur, I decided that I wanted to make more of a playset.I took some liberties with the interior since we don't see a whole lot in the movies.I also built some side builds (crossbow,catapult etc.).Since I don't own any of the original Lord of the Rings minifigures, I made my own minifigures combining parts from several different themes.The interior has 5 rooms and I included a palantir in the center of the sorcery room. My entry is 73 cm tall.I included a few references to unlicenced themes I like.The Eye of Sauron can be rotated 360 degrees and it is connected using mixel ball joints so the eye can also look up and down.Different parts of the build can be removed.
