(Sauron's MASSIVE tower in Mordor) and Rivendell (Elrond's home in Mirkwood)
in minifig-style.  I'd like to know how some of you would handle recreating
Middle Earth's races with LEGO minifigs.  Here's some of my ideas:


I have a first draft of my LOTR figures that I took pictures of last night.
Maybe you can use some of the ideas.

Merry, Boromir and Pippin. Boromir has the Lion of Denethor on his shield,
an impressive Lion in most kingdoms, but it pales besides the Lion of
Elendil. 10 time 10 generations of stewardship would not suffice to raise
the Lion of Denethor to the kingship in Gondor.
