Category: Mount Doom
The climax of the quest! A volcano, nine-fingers, and the end of "the Precious". Make every brick count!
Link:The Middle Earth Lego Olympics,and my worthy opponent Jacob Nion, and his amazing entry!
I decided to get as close to the movie as my pieces would allow, with my imagination taking over every now and then. I had basically 1 day to build this entry, since I was waiting for some pieces. Thanks for viewing, and best of luck Jacob!
I decided to do an irregular baseplate, and I think it turned out well! I might do more of them in the future. This is one of my favorite creations so far, even though it was a rushed entry, since the MocAthalon has arrived.
Of course, I had to include a playability, as you will see....
The cliff falls off with just a slight push! I love making my builds playable, and hope to do more in the future!
For More Pictures, Go to MOCPAGES!
Soli Deo Gloria!

Re: MELO R4: Mount Doom
Nice build, and I like the playability feature. The rocks look good and the lava has a lot of nice color and texture variation in it!
Given the mood of the scene, maybe would have been better suited to photograph on a black background, but that's a minor nitpick

Re: MELO R4: Mount Doom
Very well done rocks. It would have been nice to see a longer rock bridge, but I guess that where piece limitations come in. The play feature look pretty accurate to the movie. Nice job!

Re: MELO R4: Mount Doom
Great job Matt! The rock work is crazy cool. Maybe if the section jutting out was a little more rugged it'd fit the gritty atmosphere better. The lava is really well done also. Keep up the good work!
