[MOD] Mines of Moria

[-DoNe-]

Mines of Moria. An iconic place in cinema history. The Lego designers sure had their work cut out for them when given the task to represent it in Lego. Overall I think they managed great. There was however one design choice which I wlays felt took away from the feeling of being in a cave; the fact that the set was designed with four separate structures. The idea was most likely to aid in placement and playability as well as keeping the parts count within budget. In this "MOC" the plan was to create a more coherent and display-oriented take on the playset. Nothing have been taken away from it, I've just added a base for it to stand on and added a few more minifigures yet I find it to be quite effectful.

 

 

 

 

This also spelled the end for my Mines of Moria MOC that had somewhat survived in one piece since 2013:

Quite the diorama. This adds much more to the build than LEGO's version. Of course, time and the audience are part of this.

Thank you. I feel this goes to show how good these playsets were.
