No idea's for colours yet, still needs lots of work b4 i get there.
I need to find out how to do the gate doors, stairs and rocks.
I have some plaster tapes.. maybe just cover up the polystreen with it? Or should there be a gaze underneath?
I am not really patient for making stairs... should find an easy nice looking way.
Doors, maybe i should try to find some small hinches?
Seen lots of beautifull helms deep and minas tirth buildings on the one ring. I want to make a classy fortress to this time. Maybe get rid of the old one afterwards..

A glaze is not necessary.

still gotta get the form of the polystrene blocks out a bit here and there...
But we have a pot of plaster powder to somewhere. I might continue with that. Might be enough to finish it up.

The rock looks very good. :yay:

Some plaster powder and some paper towels will do the trick.

Looking good so far, Garmenhord!

It's looking great so far.
Look at dolls house accessories for some window hinges that could work nicely for your doors.

good tip

, just don't know yet where to find those in store around here. Might do paint work on the castle first. Still gotta base the whole thing with sand, waiting for some good weather to do it outside. Don't want my room turned into a local beach

Wow! Perfect for a Morgul/Orc stronghold. What is it supposed to be?

Harfoot · **Posted:** Sat Jun 29, 2013 12:32 pm

Progressing nicely.

more morgul like i think.. but not really sure

just want to have it suitable for good and evil. Minas morgul was once a city like minas tirith not?

This is going to be epic when it's done. It's certainly inspired me to get cracking with some terrain.

This looks great

Ok been a while again, i glued some sand on the fortress quite some days ago.
Still waiting till i find my time to get to the store for a black spray can..
It could take a while..
I felt to do something hobby related so i started up something for in the meanwhile.
Most of the time making the armature is what i hate most. Once that's done things might go rather quickly.
It's hard to stop sculpting, wanting to c what comes out of it.
What i have planed is a demon.
I have some smaller bases to, maybe i even will try some human sized demons to go with it! But i will start with the big guy first.

I envy you guys who can sculpt. Look forward to seeing what comes of this project.

I'm really liking the textured bases on a base Idea to make a natural platform keep up the good work

ok little after i got it sprayed black i got to this

Now i need to find out how to do the gate. Add details maybe barels, something to make it easyr to get on the wall...
Maybe make the grass a bit more natural.. it's really flashy green right now. Maybe i could dirty it up with some inks.... detailing..;

Harfoot · **Posted:** Fri Jul 19, 2013 2:48 pm

I use the wooden sticks Mcdonalds give away for your coffee work really well for making gates!

What have you used for grass so far? cant make it out on the photo
