The Wizard's Workshop Deep in the heart of an ancient forest stands a mighty oak. Rising out of the cleft in an enormous boulder, the tree is the entrance to a cave hewn out of the aged granite. The Wizard's workshop is a fully furnished, minifig (...) (23 years ago, 28-Mar-02, to lugnet.announce.moc) !!

(...) Great creation! I think my favorite little detail is the variety of little potion bottles on the counters. Hey, shouldn't you be busy on LotR models? :) Bruce (23 years ago, 29-Mar-02, to lugnet.castle)

Matt, Thanks a bunch. I really don't have many Harry Potter sets, I got most of the pieces from bricklink, but I am a fiend for Forestmen and dark forest sets! I always appreciate two bricks worth! Jon (...) (23 years ago, 29-Mar-02, to lugnet.castle)

Bruce, Thanks for the compliments, I've found that I like the detailing of structures a little more than the actual construction, so the little bottles and the like were the most fun. I am working on Tolkien again. The workshop was built almost (...) (23 years ago, 29-Mar-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I for one love it! Some of your detail work has come out very nice indeed. I especially like the jewels-in-bottles, the cabinetry and especially the clear 1 x 1 with clear gem cap - it makes a perfect small bottle! (23 years ago, 29-Mar-02, to lugnet.castle)

Great MOC. :-) I like the idea of the tree/rock design. The interior has a really nice lived-in look, and a nice balance of clutter and organization. You've done some clever things with the furniture such as the use of angled plates in the (...) (23 years ago, 29-Mar-02, to lugnet.castle)

Thanks, I spent a lot of time working on bottles for my wild west saloon. Actually most of my stuff is borrowed or stolen from a Wild West design in some way! Thanks for the nice compliments! Jon (...) (23 years ago, 29-Mar-02, to lugnet.castle)

THank you James, It took some time to get the engineering of those doors just right! I always imagined a Wizard to be a little more on the cluttered side so I just kind of "Strewed" everything about! Thank you for the compliments. Jon (...) (23 years ago, 29-Mar-02, to lugnet.castle)

Leah, I agree It would be a better move to use plates instead of bricks on the rock. I did that with "bag end", but this model was constructed a while ago (actually, it no longer exists) and I waited for a break between tolkien projects to post it! (...) (23 years ago, 29-Mar-02, to lugnet.castle)

George, I got most of my Brown hinge pieces from Wild West sets! I'm not certain how many other themes have them but fort Legoredo has a bunch. Thanks for your compliments. Jon (23 years ago, 29-Mar-02, to lugnet.castle)

The snowstorm sounds really great! That is a great Idea for the mithril as well. Are you going to have Merry and Pippin Smoking? If so I'd love to hear some Ideas for Pipes since I've got none! I loved your orthanc by the way. I figure this is off (...) (23 years ago, 30-Mar-02, to lugnet.castle)
