The Tower of Orthanc was the daunting fortress that became Saruman’s powerful base as he ruled over Isengard with an uncompromising iron fist, but now Brenden McMahon, has managed to recreate it with LEGO. Standing a whopping 8-feet-tall, it features nine individual floors, a torture chamber, library and even lights. The tower won “Best Mega Creation Award” at Brickworld Chicago, a popular convention for brick enthusiasts.
You’ll need a full-sized ladder to truly appreciate all of the details in Brenden McMahon’s LEGO version of Saruman’s tower, a.k.a. the Tower of Orthanc, from The Lord of the Rings. The official 2,359-piece LEGO set isn’t small either, but this one makes it look like a holiday cottage when placed next to each other.
