Scene: You Shall Not Pass

I wanted to challenge myself by building the most famous and well-known scene from the Lord of the Rings movies.

I think it's the hardest scene to build for two reasons:

Point one, the Balrog is a demanding construction and requires many particular pieces.

Point 2, the scene is so famous that everyone knows every detail so you can't improvise too much.

About construction.

In the head of the Balrog I inserted the light bulbs and electrical components of an old lego fire truck (they still work after 30 years!) to give it the "incandescence" effect.

I used all my fire pieces to make the whip then to make the fire I used a layered combination of red, yellow and white bars.

I created Gandalf with the pieces of minigures i own, so it's not the same as the one in the movie, but I can defend myself because, in the book, the wizard wears a blue hat.
