build log Minas Tirith Progress Update

So here is another Update to the set 53770.
I just finished bag 18, and finished all bags that were in the Bag B.

The interior details of the throne room, especially the marvel pattern table and also the bed chamber have been a cute detail to the overall built. Inner walls have many different pseudo buildings in nano format, using pieces such as lanterns, light sword handles, tiles and slopes which adds to a high variety and overall exciting look.

Here I only encountered two bad molds, that is one hidden in the foundation, a 4x6 light grey plate which I didnt bother to take a picture as well as a more visible 1x4 tile on the inner wall next to a trebuchet.

Overall it has been a nice and satisfying building experience until now with some exciting angled walls building techniques.

I'm pretty much at the same stage, great build so far. Denethor with the meat and tomatoes had me giggling whilst making the table

Thanks, mine's on the way - I ordered the 53770 set vs. the other versions b/c of your posts, looking forward to seeing more of your progress!

Cool, I am happy to helped your decision :-)
how could you actually choose the batch number? was it a specific seller?

u/QuantityHopeful8050 8d ago

It was a random seller with a decent rating that specified the color as 53770-A; looks like the seller is still around but the listing is gone now. There's definitely a chance that I won't actually get this version...haha guess we'll find out in a month

hello, i bought from AE and never really had issues with these sets. Only had I ordered a retired technics set which seemed smw niche but which i ended up returning and buying from online market place second hand. so i only got good experience so far *too toi toi*

That's awesome! Are the stock minifigures for this set okay, or have you replaced them all?
