Hey thanks for all the comments guys!
I really like this dragon model so, even though some say it looks too War-hammer-y I'm still going to try and get it.

this is definitely too late and i apologise for not seeing this thread sonner or i could have made this point, in the Lord of the Rings: The Third Age (ps2) the stairs at the back of helms deep leading away from the deeping wall lead to a small courtyard surrounded by a low wall with one passage leading back to the main fortress through the mountainside and another passage leading away form the fortress to the glittering caves. i just wanted to get this off my chest and hope that it can be of some assistance to you
Hey thanks. This is exactly what I had questions on. And no, it's not too late.
I had planned to go back later to redo the parts that weren't how I wanted them to be. The stairs included. I'll probably redo the tower as well: make it taller, reposition it and change the spires on the sides.
Speaking of Helm's Deep, I never uploaded pictures of the tiles added to it and the extra details.
Here are some of the pictures. Need to take more with better lighting.
These first few are the bricks I cut and pasted onto the walls and the process. I used index cards and white glue.
Here is the beginning of the middle tower:
And pics of the courtyard:
Paint added on top of the bricks:
More bricks added: (There's no end to these bricks!
)
The back stairs:
Causeway and gate:
The courtyard:
The Hornburg tower:
"I cannot jump the distance, you'll have to toss me!"
The fortress: (Most of it. Don't have any other pictures showing the entire thing. Will take more pictures with models on it.)
And so that is where it stands today. The Senior projects are over and I've graduated high school.
Now with time on my hands I can work at a more leisurely pace. No deadlines to meet and no projects needed to pass.
I'd like to thank everyone here for their help in any form or another. Without you guys, I might still be stuck drawing plans and gathering materials right now.
The next item of business for this project is to finish the other board: The Deeping Wall. Well, rather start the board.
Thanks again for all the comments and help. My childhood dream is coming to life before my eyes.
