soccerkid6 Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) Mount Doom, the one place where the ruling ring can be destroyed. I based this mainly off the movie, but the path is an important detail from the books. The top of the volcano lights up, though you can't see it in these pics because it's an official LEGO light brick and not very bright It's obviously quite a bit smaller than it should be, but it used all my dark bley/grey at this scale The bridge and mask are very accurate to the movie. In fact this is the most movie accurate Mount Doom MOC I've seen, though if you know of a more accurate one I would love a link Here are some pics: Hope you enjoyed looking, and comments or criticism welcome Edited June 4, 2013 by soccerkid6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobsy Posted August 12, 2012 Oh, very nice bubbling lava technique. Me likey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nuju Metru Posted August 12, 2012 The inside of the cavern is really nicely detailed! The lava looks great, especially the bubbly bits. The rock texture on the outside of the mountain is well-executed, though I think the overall shape of the mountain is a bit too cubelike - though I can tell you had a more SNOT approach to it, which naturally resulted in a box shape, I think more sloped sides would benefit this a great deal. The entryway is great, it looks very fluidly built into the rock around it, and I like the lava at the peak! Nice work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you, I'm glad such an experienced LOTR builder approves You are right about the mountain though, it does look a little cubish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Balrog Posted August 13, 2012 The MOC looks really stunning. You could re-enact the action scene with Gollum, too. What I found a little interesting AND amusing is the use of a shark as a wall piece. I have never seen something like that and I really like it a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I get a Gollum I may just do that Glad you noticed the shark, he was in my dark grey box and I thought well why not use him? He saved some pieces which was nice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

questforcastle Posted August 15, 2012 That lava is just awesome! It glows. Very, very nicely done. The interior is excellent overall as is the rockwork. Compliments on a job well done. I think some ingenious solution to portraying a falling Gollum with the ring (so that he is connected somewhere but looks like falling), would be a really cool next step. I'd love to see the photos of that if you ever do it. Outside, perhaps it just my jaded 1980s Castle builder eyes but I'd enjoy seeing a little more old grey mixed in, bley makes the mountain look a tad blue. A mix of more different greys might be nice - and of course breaking the cubish shape more would be a good idea as some said, if you are ever looking to develop the model. But as said, these are just ideas, the MOC is fantastic as it is! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
