TheLordOfBricks Posted May 26, 2018 (edited) Hello! This is my seventh of 19 posts I will be doing, where I will be building my way through the Hobbit story, one chapter per post, I will do this over the course of the year... Here is my build of Beorn's House for my Hobbit Project! It took me 4 months of building (5 months total), is around 7,500 pieces and the maximum base size is 105 x 56. It was a ton of fun to build and I am pleased with the result. :) I was gonna bring this to BFAL, but that was 4 months ago. This is my first build of the year, and the first post that I actually built in time of having a flickr account. With this and one other build, I will be taking a break from my Hobbit Project for 2-3 months to build regular castle for a while. :) Some great inspiration came from builders like Patrick B and Simon NH for all the tools and animals on the ground. For the house itself, I got most of my inspiration from Weta Workshop's model, but I also looked closely at some of the great builds of Beorn's House by Dunedain98, Patrick B, and Caleb W's build for Caleb and Graeme's collab Hobbit Project which you should check out. :) Also, a huge thanks to the guys who helped me with all 20 WIPs I sent throughout the building process! :) I hope you enjoy! To my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ be the glory! :D Also, how do you add pictures from a private flickr photo? Thanks!

Littleworlds Posted May 27, 2018 Truly outstanding texturing-work on these walls! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pantelis Posted May 27, 2018 Its just an amazing build... Perfect Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soccerkid6 Posted May 28, 2018 Very fitting building for Beorn. The various stone and wood portions are combined beautifully And that landscape is superb! Great irregular edge and color use It's also good to see you including plenty of animals, since they're such a significant part of Beorn's residence. If you have any more dark green leaves, I think the trees in the back could benefit from additional foliage. Though I well understand the challenge of never having enough leaves Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jakbar Posted May 28, 2018 Absolutely beautiful! These walls look amazing! Why are there so many chimneys though? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zoth33 Posted May 28, 2018 Great job. the texturing is wonderful. especially the roof and the ground. The stonework is really beautiful too. Is there an interior? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LegoModularFan Posted May 31, 2018 What a spectacular MOC! Everything is amazing here, for instance the rock-work, the base, the foliage, especially the flowers on the roof and the trees, the olive green/dark tan combo with small but effective earth green and dark brown additions and I'm absolutely in love with the gorgeous use of the barrel containers and all the shaping on this MOC, especially the triangle windows and round corners! That's a real shame pity how much interest MOCs get on EB compared to official sets... Please keep sharing your awesome work on EB and don't mind the other people who are only interested in official sets and who aren't aware what they're missing... let's find a way to make more people discover and get interested also in MOCs!

Yeah, I am kinda bummed with the trees being having so few leaves, but I didn't have the drive to order more as I had just gotten an order for this build. Thanks again! :) On 5/28/2018 at 11:03 AM, jakbar said: Absolutely beautiful! These walls look amazing! Why are there so many chimneys though? Thanks! Those are actually his beehives that he has on his roof, it does kinda look like chimney's though. :/ Thanks again!

Unfortunately I didn't have the time or pieces to create an interior. Much appreciated! On 5/31/2018 at 2:55 PM, LegoModularFan said: What a spectacular MOC!

Thanks! Glad you noticed the small details like those triangular windows, which were quite tricky, and yes, I prefer barrels to brick rounds, because it gives a better texture IMO. Yeah, I still love EB, but I am a little disappointed with all the set reviews and not so many mocs. Thanks again! :) On 6/1/2018 at 7:09 AM, Leche Guevara said: Very beutiful!
