'..............'
That, is the sound of me gaping at the entire folder. Meduseld, Helm's Deep
- all of it. Being a hopeless Tolkien fan, these creations are simply mind

If the Valar had Lego at their disposal, this is what they would make. The
Lego(s)of Beleriand, if you will.
Incredible stuff.
Cheers,

PS. I saw the beginnings of someone contructing the Argonath...all out of
tan if you can believe it. I wouldn't have enough tan to make a Pukel-man :>
