Treebeard’s gone and had too much Ent-draught

I’ve always loved seeing new Treebeard MOCs, because he’s rarely ever built the same way twice. The variety of scales and building techniques we’ve seen used to create one of my favorite Tolkien characters makes it all the more interesting, and this Treebeard build from Ben Arkley is one of the most impressive yet. The sheer scale of this build is the first thing that sticks out, especially when you notice how tiny Merry and Pippin are in contrast.

Upon closer inspection, you’ll notice a seemingly endless amount of tree branches and horns/tails in a variety of colors to really make him feel like a forest come to life.

I especially loved finding the little hidden details living all over him – mushrooms, birds, and of course an unwilling Orc.

Ben  kindly provide work-in-progress images of his colossal Ent so that we can appreciate the engineering challenge of building a character at this scale.

Don’t be too hasty, but see how Treebeard compares to 10333 Barad-dûr. We think the Fellowship could’ve had a much easier journey atop his shoulders.
