\"11075407484_dc31c00c1c_o\"<\/a> You might recall that we’ve previously profiled<\/a> the incredible Middle-earth LEGO dioramas of Blake Baer here on TheOneRing.net. <\/p>\n

Now he’s back with his biggest piece yet — a 56-inch-tall model of Erebor made from 80,000 pieces of LEGO that weighs close to 200 pounds! This time he’s working with fellow LEGO aficionado Jack Bittner. <\/p>\n

When we saw the first movie last year, we loved it too much not to build a scene from it. Of course, we couldn’t build any thing less than the iconic dwarf city. So here it is, our third and latest collaboration (our first was Amon Hen, our second was Rivendell). We chose Erebor for many reasons, not the least of which was that we love building mountains [sarcasm]. This build was a ton of fun, and we hope you enjoy it. And now, it is our pleasure to present Erebor, the dwarven hall of kings.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
