When I present a review, the sets are typically photographed in a cold, sterile lightbox, with perhaps a cardboard cutout for good measure. I have been writing up my review of 10316 Rivendell. But it is not quite finished. In short, it is an epic build, full of techniques I had not thought about and tricks that might be applicable at some point. To say nothing of a gorgeous interpretation of the subject matter. It does not pretend to be all of Rivendell but rather incorporates some key scenes from the Peter Jackson Movies.
I took a break from writing up my Rambling Review, so I could enjoy the warm diffuse light of a summer evening, set and camera in hand. Read on to see what happened…
[or you can go straight to my review here]

Well, I hope you enjoyed this little sneak peek. As you can see, it looks magnificent. I can’t wait to share my full review with you in a few days time. What are your initial thoughts about Rivendell? Why not leave your comments below and until next time,
Play Well!
My complete Rambling Review, along with some new pictures, is now live. You can find it here
This set was provided by the LEGO Group for review purposes. all opinions are my own.
These are beautiful pictures. I definitely want to get this set, but I’m hoping there will be some new smaller Lord of the Rings sets in the future as I was in a dark age when the earlier sets were released.
