Treebeard’s gone and had too much Ent-draught

Ben Arkley has created an impressive LEGO Treebeard MOC (My Own Creation) that stands out due to its massive scale and intricate details. This build showcases a unique approach to constructing one of J.R.R. Tolkien's most beloved characters, highlighting the creativity and variety possible within the LEGO building community.

The Treebeard MOC features an extensive use of tree branches, horns, and tails in various colors, bringing the forest to life. The builder has incorporated numerous hidden details, such as mushrooms, birds, and even an Orc, adding depth and narrative to the model. Ben Arkley also shared work-in-progress images, providing insight into the engineering challenges of building a character at this scale.

The sheer size of the Treebeard build is particularly striking, especially when compared to the tiny Merry and Pippin minifigures. The article suggests that the Fellowship might have had an easier time on their journey if they could have ridden on Treebeard's shoulders. The build's scale is also compared to the recently released set 10333 Barad-dûr.
