Hello, I'm going to make Minas Morgul model (like Weta bigature in the film), but i have found too little materials
I can't find any information about second floor, entrance to the second floor, any ladders etc. The top view of weta's miniature would be the best. Any ideas?

look here: http://www.lotrscenerybuilder.org/minasmorgul.php

thank you but i have already seen this site. There is a wonderful model there but photos do not have enough

I hope your endeavers succeed. The Witch-king's hold is my favourite of the Mordor bastions of Sauron.

I have pics of the one I made in my gallery on this site.

gallery/image_page.php?album_id=79&image_id=357

There's only 3 pics of it in there, but I have a ton more.

The model I built is 15 square feet (3 feet x 5 feet), and it's not nearly big enough to do all the detail I wanted. I made a lot of decissions while making mine on what to keep / take out / change to get what I wanted. For example there is far more black on mine than the actual filming model. I had it painted more like the WETA version but I decided to change it to what I wanted. My model has no interior stairs or door ways. The few pics I have of the WETA model don't show any. Not that there aren't any, just the pics I could find don't show it.

It could be that since MM was only used as background material, and not a major presence like Minas Tirith, it was not given the same amount of interior detail.

Look at this website photo of Minas Tirith. The city is the entire model.

Here is a pic of the Minas Morgul model with a man for size comparison. The city / fortress is tiny compaired to Minas Tirith. Maybe the detail just isn't there. I couldn't find any either.

This is the biggest pic I could find online. Frow WETA's website.

Have you looked on the extended DVD of ROTK? There is a model section with some ok MM stuff in there. It helped me some.

If you're interested I can tell you how I made mine.

Dave

Nice work please post more photos

Very good, I've commented in your gallery.

Thanks. It was a fun project to work on. Lots of things I learned. lots of things I'd do differently a second time... if there were a second time.

Not to derail this thread too much, but I stopped making big dispalys like this because I simply ran out of space. The 4 things in my gallery take up a combined 96 square feet, and I've got a bunch of smaller stuff lieing around.



I'll try and get some more up soon.

That is why I use table covers instead of static displays.

You have a nice collection of MBA buildings. I like your Party tree as well. I am truly looking forward to your future post.

I'm starting to think that way as well. I'm even thinking about selling some of the stuff I have to make room. Though I'm not sure some one would pay what I'd ask for.

I have made several smaller things for table top use. They came out pretty good. Just not as "grand" as the other projects. I'm not sure if I have pics of them or not, I'll look.



YES!! I love these! When thinking about a project I go over costs / time etc. These buildings are just too good for their price. You see kits un-assembled and un-painted for twice the cost. That's not even all the ones I have, but it is most. They are based right up near you in Lawerenceville. I think the owners have a store up there some where. I used to see the MBA guys a few times a year at Recon and Hurricon here in Fl, but haven't seen them recently.

The party tree I can't take credit for. Got it off Ebay for like $20. Some guy up near Chicago. It was too good to pass up.

The owner is deployed and should finish soon.
I will try and get to one of the Fl conventions again this year. I really like Coco Beach
