Come visit my Lego web site at: www.chem.ucla.edu/~bnh My main project is a retelling of The Lord of the Rings in Lego models. I currently have four chapters up, and will be filling in pieces from the rest of the book over the next several months or even years. I'll post periodic announcements here as I add more chapters, but check back every once in a while as I may have something new. There are other things there as well that you might want to check out--other Lego models and stories illustrated with Lego. Check it out and let me know what you think. Bruce P.S. For the purists, yes, I already know of several errors (not to mention the color of Legolas' hair or the existence of Balrog wings). E.g. when Frodo comes towards the Ford of Bruinen, the additional four Nazgul are supposed to come from the left, not the right. Also I had Frodo draw his sword one photo too early on Weathertop. ###### From: bnh@chem.ucla.edu (Bruce N.

Okay, I've fixed it. And I had the book right there when I was laying out the story! Grr.

Wow! Seldom any more is there anything truly unique on the World Wide Web, but I'll bet this qualifies. I like how you made Gandalf and Saruman look alike except for their clothes. That matches how things were in Book III, when Gimli found them "alike, and not alike" (quoted from memory). The "Frodo had disappeared" scene in the Prancing Pony is my favorite out of the ones I've seen so far. The JPEGs are moderate sized too, which is nice.

Obviously black. The whole argument was over whether they were wings that looked like shadows or shadows that looked like wings. There was never discussion of shadows that looked like cheesy neon signs (sorry, I just hated the transparent orange wings that came with the black dragon--I immediately swapped them for black wings) (that's going to be what the Nazgul are flying around on later, btw).
