I wasn't actually a fan of how the Rohirim were portrayed in the movie (not bad, just not anything like what I had in my head, which was more nomadic/mongolianesque), but that would be a lot of fun to build.

I have a half finished blog post (it's not letting me post from my blog ID, but it's sixmonthstoayear.wordpress.com) about my love for Sherlock the show, and how it is possibly better (I know, I know - impossible) than the books, but when it started to look more like a thesis than a post, I tabled it for the time being.

Aragorn pushes open the door in Helm's Deep after everyone thinks he's dead and he just looks up and the light is shining behind him and OMGIAMINHEAVEN. I will not even begin to tell you how many times I have rewatched that 30 second blip.

Otherwise, I'm with you there. ;) (Being a cheerful child, I would geek out about Pompeii and the Titanic.)<br /><br />But I'm commenting about Walnut. My husband used to play Warhammer (with lots of little metal miniatures not much bigger than minifigs), and we would refer to our cat as the 10,000 hit point monster- a dragon might have 1000 hit points, so the cat was formidable indeed. :)<br /><br />And I join you in the love for Sherlock. :)carmelvineyardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04171832411743580571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-18345765267335606932012-09-13T16:35:34.634-07:002012-09-13T16:35:34.634-07:00I am always impressed by Lego construction!!
