Location: Barad-Dûr
Barad-dûr ("Dark Fortress") was the Dark Lord Sauron's central stronghold in Mordor. It is one of the most iconic buildings in the Lord Of The Rings universe. On the top of this gigantic building, we can find the Eye Of Sauron. I have always wanted to build this black fortress in LEGO, I think the moment has come.
Construction
Making circular models with LEGO bricks is always a challenging task. I spent a lot of time creating the base and the tower itself. For the central core structure, I used some inspiration from the LEGO Orchidea set. The internal structure for the base is a heavily modified version of my previous LEGO Idea. I spent a lot of time on the details, I redesigned the central part at least 13 times. I attached a cut-section view of the internals, to show how challenging it was to fit everything together.
Part count: 3017 LEGO pieces
I hope you enjoy this project!
