The usual high quality article. Your Edoras has always been a bit of a favourite for me. Just something about it and nobody has produced anything like it. This deserves every bit of praise it gets (and then some). A continued inspiration to many a terrainist and everyone wanting to see what is possible with a bit of wood, glue, a plan and an imagination |

Lovely piece Alan, your usual high standard, you're definately one of the best (just for not saying the best.. although we all know you are) terrain-master in this hobby! A real beauty mate! Isc. |

All 3 of these peices are not only inspirational from a terrain building perspective, but also as a guidline on how an article should be produced. Star quality as we would expect from the expert. |

A really good piece. Top quality but the only thing is that when i try to print out the templates thing come out to small and if i am going to use them for the horsehead pillars they will be too small. What can i do????? Any help would be great |

1st off - welcome to the site - I hope you gain as much pleasure and knowlege out of it as I have I have not read the article for quite some time and as I have a VERRRRRY slow connection have no desire to sit here and wait whilst it downloads again I would suggest that since Dagorlad is normally very thorough - then it is possibly a problem with your own settings on your computer Have you investigated that aspect? |

Thank you for the nice welcome. I have tried what you ave said and the templates are alot better now. they are near enought the right size its just on some of them are a 1mm out and some are a bit too big by about 5mm. Well thanks for the advice anyway, i will go and see what i can do |

Hi Wellsey and welcome to the One-Ring. The templates are saved in Adobe's PDF format and are intended to be an accurate scale for you to print out and use. But Adobe does some weird things while trying to cope with the different paper sizes and printer margins around the world. To get them to print out properly, follow these steps:
That should have done the trick and it should start printing properly. |

boah, only came across this thread now - it's very descriptive, helpful and greatly illustrated/photographed! and I really admire your precise and clean workstyle (also having this recent nice pic of you in the face behind the post thread in mind). |

Thanks for all the help. I will reprint the templates as you said and try to do the terrain piece. |

Awesome terrain piece. Makes me wish I had recently bankrupted myself investing in a Rohan army instead of the Mordor one I chose. It's got some great stuff for beginners like me - how to work with balsa, building from simple primitive shapes, designing plans, etc... but it is advanced enough to be a great reference for much time to come. Thanks again for a wonderful article! |

first post here on the one ring I love this wall. its incredible and i would love to do something like this. I'm not the biggest rohan fan though. So I intend on making similar palisade wall with an easterling theme to it Thanks for the guide and inspiration Edit: as ya sed polyfiler was sticking to my fingers more than the balsa in the little expiriments i've done, a coat of pain actually solves this, the poly filler sticks better and easier |

Thanks guys. This article is seriously dated now and I would do things very differently if I were to remake the model - such as using blue/pink styrofoam for the walls, and not using bamboo bbq skewers for the palisade walls. |

Hi my name is chris and just wanted to tell you that your models are awesome. I have a question as to where youget your list of images from for example your plans of rohan. I just started building the golden hall and I have no clue where to get the floor plans or the fine details would you be able to help me sincerely chris |

Hi Alan! I found the templates for the Edoras gatehouse years ago and now started building it. Great work and much appreciated! Are there any other blueprints you made for any terrain concerning Rohan? Your blueprints are the best ones I found yet so maybe there is more...? Of course I know that the last post here is 14 years old... Best regards! Matthias |
