My build for the 6th and final round of the 2017 Middle Earth LEGO Olympics<\/a>. The category was ‘Switched Teams’; so someone who was a villein would now be a good guy, and a place like Rivendell would be evil, etc. I decided to do Minas Morgul, which is the fortress of the Witch King in the Lord of the Rings<\/em>, so in my version the Witch King is now a noble leader with a valiant force of warriors guarding the splendid fortress. In order to make it look less scary\/bad guy-ish, I\u00a0 opted for a white\/grey colorscheme and changed the architecture to be slightly less pointy (though I did keep the buttresses and battlements rather spiky), while still keeping the same general layout. I’m quite pleased with the result, and although I didn’t plan on it getting quite this big, it’s now my heaviest build to date, weighing a smashing 31.2 pounds!<\/p>\n

There are also a few things you can try to find in this build, if you would like (though not many of them are very well hidden, I admit!):
\n4 frogs
\n1 bear
\n2 hedgehogs
\n1 bird in a birds nest
\n3 chickens
\n2 goats<\/p>\n\n\t\t
