Ben Pitchford builds Lego creations. In particular, over the last 11 months he’s been designing and constructing a 120,000-plus piece replica of Peter Jackson’s Rivendell from The Hobbit.
It’s enormous.
Sitting on a five feet by four feet baseplate, his replica Rivendell environment is more than 50 inches tall.
It also includes several little scenes/dioramas from an Unexpected Journey within it such as the arrival of Gandalf and The Company of Thorin Oakenshield, the return of Elrond, the dinner scene and the White Council meeting. Plus it lights up for a night-show as well.
Amazing.

You are all absolutely amazing.

Pledges are still open and you could win this signed Battle of the Five Armies poster

The poster (measuring 13′ by 20′), together with the holographic wristband that was needed to get it at SDCC, will be given away to one lucky supporter, chosen at random from all the pledges of $10 and above that we receive THIS WEEK (Monday 12th to Sunday 18th January). Each new pledge of $10 or higher during this final week will receive a separate entry into the draw. That’s right: the more times you pledge, the more chances you have to win!
