LOTR MOC: Mount Doom

Post by soccerkid6 »

Not wanting to pass up a shot at all the LOTR sets free I made this for the LOTR building challenge on LEGO.com.
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 :roll: It's obviously quite a bit smaller than it should be, but it used all my dark bley/grey at this scale :oops: 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 is the outside:

Any comments or criticism welcome :D

Nice work overall. Lego-style sinister. Love the interior cave walls. Good luck in the contest!

That's really cool. The inside looks very professional. Even though it isn't to size, everything still goes together so well. Great entry! I wouldn't be surprised if it wins.

This is awesome, so accurate. Of course not in size because that moc would be very huge. Great job and good luck :D
