Inspirational Lego: Erebor

This mightily awesome build showed up on Facebook last week, depicting the Lonely Mountain in better times before the dragon Smaug made it`s lair there.

It features the Dwarven fortress in full glory, and includes the merry town of Dale at it`s feet where life went it`s way.

The whole build is in minifigure scale, so you can get a pretty good idea of the sheer size of the model, as the windmill shows a good ratio of height next to one of the figures.

Even the Elves of Thranduil are present in the foliage at it`s flank.

Another awesome feature is the smootly cut out walls of the mountain city in the jagged rockworks of the mountain itself.

And those dwarven statues flanking the entrance are mightily well executed

Even if you are not into the The Hobbit theme at Lego, or even if you`re not a Lego enthousiast, builds like this are certain to drop your jaw!
