Forest and Rock Face

Here is a small forest and rock face I have created. It has a waterfall, a birch tree, a pine tree, an oak tree, and a deer. The pine tree was the hardest tree to make because of its shape. I created it by linking Lego vines together into three-sided pyramid shapes a stacking them on top of each other.

Hobbit Hole

Here is a hobbit hole I have made for a Lego contest. This model of "Bag End" was created by building it from the bottom up. The model includes Bilbo Baggins (writing his book) and Gandalf (delivering fireworks). The model's front door comes off for easy access of the hallway. The roof also comes off, revealing a detailed interior with a kitchen, a pantry, a living room, and Bilbo's writing room. One of the problems I encountered was the problem of making a round doorway. To make a seamless doorway, I stuck skeleton hands inside the lower arch and stuck that into the upper arch, creating a round doorway. Here is the link for my entry "http://thelordoftherings.us.lego.com/en-us/Gallery/Details/Default.aspx?projectid=2d67da5e-e47b-483a-bb26-70dff722ffc6&index=2". Enjoy!
