Lego Craft: The Last March of the Ents
As the sister of a “Legomaniac” growing up, and now wife and mother to some modular block-building aficionados, I am quick to recognize the imagination and talent required for the more epic Lego projects. I have posted about some I have seen, such as the Sandcrawler made of Legos.
Enter now the Ents. Or the last march, thereof.
OneLug, a “fellowship of builders consisting of Brandon Griffith, Alyse & Remi Gagne, and Bruce Lowell”, has recreated The Last March of the Ents – in Lego form. This is how they describe the project:
“Taken from the Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, this Lego model displays the epic battle as depicted in the film version of the timeless book. The base of the model is 305 Lego studs(8ft.) in diameter and the tower Orthanc stands 228 Lego Bricks (7ft. 2in.) tall. The battle consist of 23 Ents and 100+ Orcs.”
The Flickr gallery includes 75 photos and two videos, with some crazy-awesome close-ups to show the creators’ imagination and attention to detail. Definitely worth a click-through.

Geeky Gingerbread Xmas Tree Decoration
Seeing as there are now only 30 days till Christmas I reckon that we need some geeky Christmas decoration inspiration.
Where better to start that with some Tree decorations?
Claire (maxxev on Craftster) has started already by making some amazing geek gingerbread men.
Made by painting up a pre-made gingerbread shape with under-glaze, she is currently waiting to get them glazed and fired.
From super heroes to Star Trek she is a true geek crafter and well worth a look.

Tutorial Tuesday! ‘Why Not Zoidberg’ Cross Stitch
I ‘m a self confessed thread head, and I’m also a meme addict. Clearly so is craftster user OmegaChicken.
Not only have they stitched up this meme-tastic “Why not Zoidberg” cushion, but they’ve also shared the cross stitch chart, so we can all have geeky soft furnishings of our own … whoopwhoopwhoop!!
