MOC: Black Gate

[Elander]

Heyho,

at the time I'm absolute overexcited. Next year begins LEGO LotR and the Hobbit!

My dream come true! And that is the reason why I now start moccing

And here is my first LotR MOC: The Blacke Gate

A door and two towers. The main part from the Black Gate. The left and the right site is open -if I want to add this MOC with an larger wall are bricks included with these I can connect this part. But at first I need more black bricks.

[if TLG produces the Black Gate as LEGO set my dream would be an kind of addition set for the left and the right site. In CREATOR style for a wall part and a tower part. This addition set could be integrated into a large Battle Pack like Uruk-hai Army.]

Ok, enough from my wishes, back to my MOC.

I've tried to give the gate/wall and the both towers many details like this spire crenellations.

Yes, I do know. The wall is too short and the towers are too big. I promise, my next Black Gate will be better. The error went unnoticed (not before it was too late). Ok, I hope you like it.

I've tried to create the main characters Saurons Mounth and King Elasser (Aragorn). Also a Easterling.

And at last the complete company:

I hope the black colours are at the images good enough. to photograph these black colours at the front from the white wall is not easy.

Ok, have fun.

Looks really good! Hope to see more lotr mocs from you.

I like the scale of things, cause it is similar to how TLC makes their sets wich I'm found of.

When I see colloassal moc models of buildings sure they looks cool and that but it is unrealistic as something we can hope for tlc to produce.

I do really hope we get easterling minifigures at some point!

I agree, great work 'Elander'.....I can guess that any of your MOC's for LOTR will be W-I-P's till you score the new figures and weapons ?

Brick On in Middle Earth !

I like it. Especially the detail on the gates and towers.

Great MOC. I think it is a great scale for an actual Lego set. The gates do look quite forbinng which is excellent.

That looks great Elander! Perhaps not to scale as you say, but instantly recognisable as the Black Gate. I'd love to see an function where you could pull a couple of trolls along the battlements to open the gate though, that'd be sweet.

ps. Nice work on the Mouth of Sauron btw - great head choice!

I really like the scale to be honest :)

It is similar to the scale Lego do things in, and you've made a good job of it! Hopefully Lego will give us a black gate with a few beautiful Easterling helmets/shields/pikes :)

Mouth of Sauron is great too :D
