“Now for wrath, now for ruin and a red nightfall!”

Inspired by King Théoden’s battle armor and banners from The Lord of the Rings. This LEGO mosaic is 21 ¼” x 31 ¼.

Celebrating the inspiration of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, The White Tree of Gondor, The White Horse of Rohan and The White Hand of Saruman represent three books, three movies, and three peoples of Middle-earth. These mosiacs were created especially for “An Unexpected Art Show”, a gallery event put on by www.theonering.net held in Los Angeles on February 22, 2013.

This is a collaborative build by the OneLug, a fellowship of builders consisting of Brandon, Bruce, and Remi.

Last March of the Ents is a group build I worked on last year. Massive project. So much fun.

Not a lot of new features; mostly bug fixes. This version includes a proper OSX app build, finally. The slow, slow climb to version 1.0 continues.

Quick & simple stand for 7778 MIDI-scale Falcon. No changes to the ship needed. A simple ball joint like this has almost enough clutch to work, but will wear out pretty fast.

Instructions made using Lic, which is still in the works.

It’s a lot like LPub, only with a WYSIWYG editor, which should make creating custom, nicely laid out instruction booklets a snap. Eventually…

Lic is still in a proof-of-concept stage, but if you’re interested and don’t mind providing some feedback, check it out.
