If you're a Lord of the Rings movie nerd like I am, you will absolutely love this recreation of the Helm's Deep battle scene from The Two Towers movie.
MyModernMet brings you the story and photos from the artistic masterpiece.
We've all seen some incredible LEGO builds before, but this one, by Rich-K & Big J, takes the cake as one of the most impressive pop culture recreations of all time! About 150,000 LEGO bricks and 1,700 mini-figures were used to recreate the Helm's Deep battle scene from Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings. It took the duo about four months to construct the 160 pound, ping-pong table size creation.
Look closely and you'll notice the small details like the catapults, ladders and towering walls.
It wasn't easy bringing all the pieces together. As Goel Kim states, "Once [the] LEGO set was released last year, I thought, is this it? So I started to collect mini-figures from around the world specially Elf. It was painful process since I was only able to get 6 from Germany, 8 from Poland, etc in order to get enough Elf to represent [the] movie scene."
These two nerds spent a whole lot of time and effort in putting together this immaculate work of Lego art from the BEST of The Lord of the Rings films (sorry, Kyle Mann over at The Babylon Bee).
Here are some awesome detail shots.
It's all there. The men, the elves, the orcs. The tunnels, bridges, ravines, towers. It's truly amazing if you can call anything made from Legos exquisite.
