Lego Craft: The Last March of the Ents

Last March of the Ents - lego project

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.
