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]

Reunited with Family

The Fellowship Go Forth

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!
