A MOC I built about 5 years ago: An interpretation of the Prancing Pony.
Unfortunately not well photographed, and meanwhile disassembled.
Maybe you like it anyway 😉

Final Wood Thrush song
deepens relentless furrows

guards time's realm against traces

Mount Ngauruhoe
Tongariro Alpine Crossing
Tongariro National park (UNESCO World Heritage Site)
North Island, New Zealand
For all LOTR fans, that's the infamous 'Mount Doom', as promised in the previous post! Unfortunately, I didn't come across the eye of Sauron or an Orc army. And yes, it is an active volcano which experienced its last major eruption in 1975.
The Tongariro Alpine Crossing is regarded as the best day hike (and probably the most crowded) in New Zealand and it sure didn't disappoint. Although hiking alone for 19.4km and 6.5 hours was lonely at times. These majestic views and the insane volcanic landscape made it all worth the effort. In fact, you can see a good section of the track transversing the valley below, from right to the left of the image and up the ridge. I could easily imagine myself walking on the surface of Mars! Side trips are available to the summits of 'Mount Doom' or Mount Tongariro, which last erupted on 21st November 2012. It must have been a terrifying yet humbling experience for people who were hiking on that day.
Post processing was straight forward, I had to refrain myself from pushing the saturation slider too high (in fact I had to lower some of the saturation levels). The dark yellow coloured lake is really that colour (no trickery involved), there were also emerald lakes with all different hues (I would save them for another post). The red coloured sediments near the summit of the Volcano are the iron oxides. I strongly recommend everyone to attempt the hike (or even the first section to soda spring provides some great views of 'Mt Doom') and see it for themselves! Otherwise, there is also a chair lift to the summit of Mt Ruapehu which was full covered in snow when we visited in late November!

After Frodo's dangerous journey from the Shire to Rivendell the embassadors of the three nations of Middleearth arrive there. The humans, the dwarves and the eleves want to discuss, how to proceed with the ring of Sauron. Gandalf and Elrond are hosting the big meeting at the Council of Elrond.
This winter we unfortunately had almost no snow..
but one day in April it suddenly started snowing! ❄
I went on a journey into the dreamy mountainforests
to experience and capture this wonderful surprise.

Though Mordor is far removed by distance, it is always close by in threat. From the brimstone stench of that dark wasteland the orcs pour forth. And more come after them. And more.
And more.

“But before they could say anything, Goldberry sprang lightly up and over the lily-bowls, and ran laughing towards them.”
For Pat
She’s always there for me when I need her, for over 40 years now. Thank you.
This is my last vignette that is completely based on the book and not part of one of the movies. I looked up designs from both conceptual designers Alan Lee and John Howe for inspiration, but couldn’t find any interior designs.
In the end, I came up with my own – and it was horrible. I started from scratch, but was able to use parts of my first design for my next vignette. I’ll upload a photo of the scrapped version next week to my stories.
Can anybody guess which part of this MOC is the most expensive (apart from Tom Bombadil’s torso of course)?
“In the heart of the forest, magic is not a thing to be found — it is a quiet whisper, reminding us that wonder never truly leaves the world.”
This city was the first permanent Númenorean establishement founded in the year 750 of the Second Age by Crown Prince Aldarion on the estuary of the river Gwathló. From here, Aldarion's 'Guild of Venturers' (with their ship Eämbar as their guildhouse) began harvesting the local timber for ship-building.
250 years later, Lond Daer is a thriving city and the Guild of Venturers is responsible for the largest shipbuilding industry in Middle-Earth. But this success comes at a price: the deforestation of the outlying regions, Enedwaith and Minhiriath, became cataclysmic, angering the native Dunlending population. Now war is imminent!
I'm proud to present the second installment in the #SecondAgeCollab: the Middle-Earth city Lond Daer and its thriving shipbuilding industry.
Be sure to follow all the builders tagged, and check Alclone account to see the next part of the collab coming out on Saturday.
Finally, I would like to give a massive thank you to my generous sponsor, Friend bricks who was so kind to provide me with some of his amazing custom Middle-Earth minifigs which really helped to bring this build to life.
Be sure to checkout his Bricklink store !
[More pictures & detailshots will come in a few days]
Thanks for viewing the second installment in the Second Age Collab .

"Helm's Deep has but one weakness. It's outer wall is solid rock except for a small culvert in space, which is little more than a drain. If the wall is breached, Helm's Deep will fall."
Helm's Deep is finished!
One of my best MOCs ever, It's not the most accurate Helm's Deep you'll see in terms of length, but I wanted to include both rockwork and the wall breach, and I think that turned out great. A lot of action, including a surfing Legolas!
Hope you like!
Evening light and alluring panorama from road B10, Isle of Man.
The Isle of Man (Manx: Ellan Vannin), otherwise known simply as Mann (Manx: Mannin), is a self-governing British Crown dependency located in the Irish Sea between the islands of Great Britain and Ireland.
Hills stretch obliquely across the Island and just one mountain, Snaefell (the Snowy Mountain), stands at 2,036 feet (621 metres). Well defined valleys lie between, and around the Island's flat northern plain are long sandy beaches. These contrast markedly with the rocky cliffs and sheltered bays around the rest of the coastline, which is over 100 miles (160km) long.

When I first looked on her and perceived her unhappiness, it seemed to me that I saw a white flower standing straight and proud, shapely as a lily, and yet knew that it was hard, as if wrought by elf-wrights out of steel. Or was it, maybe, a frost that had turned its sap to ice, and so it stood, bitter-sweet, still fair to see, but stricken, soon to fall and die?
The landscape of this composition is "Son Bauló", C'an Picafort, Mallorca, España.
“Even as Frodo swooned he caught, as through a swirling mist, a glimpse of Strider leaping out of the darkness with a flaming brand of wood.”
This MOC also went through several designs, but I scraped them before they became interesting enough to show them. An early design included circular steps, but there’s only so much you can do when you build on a 14x14 base.
Only one left.
Giant's Causeway, Antrim, Northern Ireland.
The Giant's Causeway, located in County Antrim, on the northeast coast of Northern Ireland, is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, the result of an ancient volcanic eruption. The tops of the columns form stepping stones that lead from the cliff foot and disappear under the sea. Most of the columns are hexagonal, although there are also some with four, five, seven and eight sides. The tallest are about 12 metres high, and the solidified lava in the cliffs is 28 metres thick in places.

This is my 2nd entry to the CCCXII - Category: Medieval Husbandry
The Eleves are producing their own wine in the hills of Valinor. After squeezing out the grapes, the wine is stored directly within the hill.
This scene will no doubt be familiar to any big fan (like me) of the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy. Isengard / Orthanc was positioned, with the help of computer imagery, in the paddocks on the right of the image.
Photo taken from near the summit of Mt Alfred (1375 m).

This sailship is part of my Second Age Collab build and is the guildhouse of the The Guild of Venturers. This guild was formed out of mariners and seamen by the great Númenórean adventurer Aldarion in the year S.A. 750. The Guild has no fixed guildhouse on land, but was based instead on their ship Eämbar, that had especially been built for the purpose.

One of my favorite captures ever on the Oregon Coast. It was a misty morning on the trail to the Heceta Head Lighthouse. I was feeling serious Lord of the Rings (or insert your favorite fantasy movie) vibes.
Here is one of the orders couldn't show you until today... but now I caaaan!!! has finally published!! It's a collaboration cover with the free magazine "Imaginarios" (about fantasy, literature, role, games, and other cool freak things XD) this march 2010 (magazine is published every quarter). This quarter they have devoted to Tolkien, so swift and fast I got my elf costume, my sword and my lantern of Rivendel!!! :P
I'm veeeery excited!!!!!!!! I think it has been a nice and cool cover! And the organization of the magazine has been very happy with the result! So ... great success!!

Este era uno de los encargos en los que estaba metida y no podía mostraros ¡hasta hoy! porque al fin se ha publicado mi colaboración en el número de marzo 2010 de la revista gratuita "Imaginarios", un magazine lleno de fantasía, rol, juegos, literatura y todas esas cositas frikis que a mi tanto me gustan :P Con esta fotografía de portada! Este trimestre tocaba tributo a Tolkien, asi que me enfundé mi traje de elfa, mi capa, mi daga y mi farol de Rivendel y ahi que me puse, buscando orcos entre la maleza :P
En fin, que estoy encantada!!! creo que ha quedado una portada muy guay, y a los organizadores de la revista les ha gustado! Asi que... éxito!

“We can’t begin life at Crickhollow with a quarrel over baths.”
Another part that is sadly missing from the movies. Frodo and the others spend one night in his new home Crickhollow in Buckland. I’d have loved to see some official movie sets, since the Buckland architecture is a bit different from the one in the Shire (the Bucklanders live in houses, not holes).
To get some inspiration, I based my MOC (very) loosely on a painting by Ted Nathsmith.

Dang, I think this is the first time I forgot to upload on schedule. Gotta get back on a streak now XD
“Dimly Frodo saw the river below him rise, and down along its course there came a plumed cavalry of waves.”
Oh well, this is it, the end of book 1 (of 6). To me it feels as if I’ve just started. Maybe it’s because this time I had to build just 13 vignettes, not 43 like last time.
Anyway, it was a blast and I want to thank all of you for your ‘faves’, comments and critique.
There’s an alternative version of this vignette, very similar in design. It came first and I wasn’t satisfied with it, but I don’t want to withhold it from you, so I’ll upload it to my stories tomorrow.
And now, for the most important part: My successor is none other than the incredibly talented Iron Builder and LEGO aficionado Jonas Kramm.
He’ll start posting from next Monday on. I’m pretty sure you’re all following him already, and if not, you should from now on (and not just for the ‘Lord of the Rings’ series).
And to quote a wise wizard: “Maybe we will meet again before all is over, but maybe not. Good-bye.”
