Very fitting with the launch of Rise of Isengard is this new LEGO model of Orthanc by a group of builders called OneLug. They modeled Isengard after the movies by Peter Jackson.
This tower is MASSIVE and extremely detailed. Their Flickr set contains the specs for the building:
The base of the model is 305 Lego studs(8ft.) in diameter and the tower Orthanc stands 228 Lego Bricks (7ft. 2in.) tall. The battle consist of 23 Ents and 100+ Orcs.
See more photos of this LEGO structure at OneLug’s Flickr set.

oh my word.. that is so very amazing, they put in every detail from the scene, right down to the burning ent and the netted one. Bravo!

True artists, extraordinary work! They made a static model feel quite animated. I love their ‘water’, and when it got to the photo of the burning Ent I felt a quite noticeable emotional response.
I adore these people!
I want to play too….
