The Game of Thrones production has been laboring for months to erect a massive set in a lot outside Titanic Studios in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It’s the biggest set ever built for the show, and as much as HBO wants to keep season 8 spoilers to a minimum, there’s been no hiding something this enormous from prying eyes.
And now, even more pics have surfaced, courtesy of Game of Thrones fan @NialBirney. Check them out below, and be wary of light SPOILERS.
These most recent pics were taken yesterday, December 3. Not a ton has changed about the set since the last batch broke, but there are some things worth noting.
