Crafty Manolo

Those were the first words I said as I left the theater after seeing The Lord of the Rings: the Two Towers. Yeah, the last march of the Ents made an impact on me as a viewer. Watching those trees go postal on Eisengard seriously thrilled and intimidated me.

And so it is that I must pay tribute to the amazing OneLug team whose Lego recreation of that scene boggles my mind with its amazing attention to detail and creative use of those delightful plastic blocks that I spent so many hours manipulating as a child.

Be sure to check out the slideshow for more detail. Here you can see not only the tremendous amount of thought that went into the project, but Treebeard carrying Merry and Pippin… not to mention a tiny Saruman hiding in the tower, soiling his robes in terror.

Good times, my friends, good times.

Now go out and be nice to a tree.
