Girlfriend got me the Lego Rivendell set for my birthday and I am incredibly lucky. Phase 1 is complete!

A LEGO model of a segment of Rivendell featuring a medieval-style chapel and tower. The gray stone-like structure has a cylindrical turret with a green conical roof and spire, and a sloped roof decorated with a colorful diamond pattern of orange, blue, and tan tiles. Arched windows, statues, and small plants add detail at the base, with the model displayed on a woven circular placemat in a cozy room setting.

As I’ve said many times before. Elves really know how to lay tile.

Can someone direct me to the resistance? @gojavelina.bsky.social

That's fabulous! I recently discovered Lego myself; never had them as a kid. Right now I have to stick to the beginner sets! 😄

I love that there seems to be a Lego set for everyone!! I have a bunch of Lego botanical sets in my office because I have no windows but still want a plant vibe.

Congratulations! Rivendell is a fantastic set! I found it very fun to build, though those peaky roof tiles did drive me mad! I now have so much fun every time I change out the cast of characters for my display. My only regret is that I didn't add a light kit in as I was building, and now I want one!

Every builder I spoke to or read about says it's easier to put the lights in during the build. Super excited for you! I'll bolo for your finished build!
