Devotion to J. R. R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings series is unwavering, and this LEGO recreation of the Hornburg at Helm's Deep is exemplary of that fact. Created by a Flickr user named Daniel Z, the impressive model accurately reconstructs the structures seen in Peter Jackson’s films using nothing more than toy blocks. The LEGO replica is no doubt a dream for children and fans alike to own. Just think of all the adventures you could have on the thing!
Daniel Z actually built the Hornburg at Helm's Deep as a promotional display for a store called Outland, located in Oslo. Unfortunately, Daniel Z also announced that this epic model will be the last of his LEGO endeavours for the time being as he’s short on time and, more importantly, building blocks.
