Pate-keetongu Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) Good evening! I am happy to announce that my project to build the company of Thorin Oakenshield from the Hobbit films. The project began 656 days ago in a land of which kind no longer exist in Middle-Earth when I posted bust of Balin in November 2012. It sort of grew into a full Balin, and got a brother Dwalin, and a cousin Oin, and some random Bifur guy... And well, I decided to build the dwarves, and then somebody asked (probably here on on EB) asked if I'd build Gandalf and Bilbo. And well, I did. You probably remember some of these MOCs (Kili even made it to the front page). The new ones here are Ori, Bilbo and Gandalf. Of course the story of the company doesn't end here. There will be conventions and exhibits to visit with these guys. There's heaps of more photos on my blog. Enjoy. At least I did enjoy building them! Edited September 22, 2014 by Pate-keetongu Quote
Hammerhand Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 Man, that's some beautiful work you've done there! I absolutely love these. Such great detail and creative parts use, and they all look just like their movie (or book) character! Quote
Zerobricks Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 Wow, these are awesome! Anyway you could build these digitally so others can build them too? Quote
TheLegoDr Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 These were fun to follow. You really did a good job with them. I wouldn't begin to know how you pieced them together, but I'd want to see more. That Gandalf is outstanding (although all look really good). I really want to see Lord of the Rings characters now. And then display them on my shelf. Any tips? Keep up the great work. Quote
Steph 104th Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Beautiful creations, they can rival the action figures. Quote
TheRedViper Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Wow, absolutely amazing detail on these characters! Quote
Lord Vladivus Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Amazing! You've captured the characters so well! Quote
cesbrick Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Absolutely amazing! Congratulations!! Quote
Balthazar Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Gorgeous work, man. Just gorgeous. I really like all of them, because every figure look amazing! P.S. I`d like to see LotR characters now :) Quote
Kayne Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 I have really enjoyed watching these as you built and posted them. These really capture each of the characters from the Hobbit so well, and I think that the skill involved in building this style is probably underappreciated by many builders. I have not built in that style, but I imagine it is very different from traditional styles and takes a bit of rework to get the look you want. Great job! Quote
Bacon Potatoes Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Nice work! The amount of detail on all of these figures is just stunning! Quote
IenjoyLego89 Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 They are all awesome, Gandalf is my favourite, looks amazing! :) Quote
bjorkan Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 "At least I did enjoy building them!", at least Quote
Asphalt Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Nothing more can be said about how brilliant these are so I will simply add... I really need to have someone make a WnW emoticon for me. i would use it a lot on this forum. Quote
plew2000 Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 These are breath taking. I had to look closer to see how the hands were made. Quote
Infernum Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Wow! Such an awesome project, each build is amazing! So cool to see them all together! Quote
bjorkan Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 I just checked details on your high-res photos, incredible in fact, the angles that you are combining parts, looks almost impossible... Quote
Ql97 Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) (Sound of jaw hitting the floor) Words cannot capture how amazing this creation is. You captured the costume and appearance of each one of them perfectly. Lego should release them as offical sets. I wonder what a Fellowship would look like. P.S. Any chance you could make an Azog? Edited September 7, 2014 by Ql97 Quote
Kez Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Wow! These are amazing, a great piece of Lego art, great job. Quote
kevkipo Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Amazing! Amazing. piece by piece! maybe another one for Bard? Quote
CADScott Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Truly amazing work, I cannot fathom how much work went into these. Brilliant! Quote
