The Fellowship of the Ring assembled for a group shot in a display showcased during the UK Toy Fair last week, but now Lego has officially unveiled the tiny plastic threats they’ll face in new images promoting its upcoming The Lord of the Rings sets. That’s right, tiny Uruk-hai, Ringwraiths, orcs and an extra creepy lil’ Gollum. Pardon the obvious reference, but this stuff is preciousssssssss.

As part of an outreach project at the Niels Bohr Institute I have recently designed a model of the ATLAS experiment in LEGO® bricks. It illustrates all details, from the muon and magnet system to the innermost pixel detector and will hopefully be a great eye-catcher for all generations. Here’s some key features:
- about 9500 pieces
- roughly 1:50 in scale (close to scale with the LEGO® man)
- material cost of about 2000 Euros (payed by the high energy physics group at the Niels Bohr Institute)
- about 1 m x 0.5 m x 0.5 m in size
- approximately 33 hours construction time (spread out over several weekends and after hours)
- around 48 hours to build the 3D model (a one-timer though)
