I made progress enough to take pictures. A lot of cutting, scoring an gluing later..

That is an impressive piece! I'd love to game with that

That is an huge project and you have really done it justice! I wouldn't have the patience to do something like that! I am really looking forward to the painted version!

Thanks everyone,
There is still so much more to do. It can feel overwhelming but I just have to remember that I only have to go at my own pace and every little bit finished is a step toward completion. The hardest part is keeping myself from starting other great projects I want to dive into.

I know the feeling about feeling like you've got tons to do and see no light ahead. My Bag End took four months to finish and the way I kept myself sane was working on a small area at a time. Only when that part was finished did I allow myself to move to the next part.
It can be hard and you do have to create some modelling stamina !

Wow, wow and wow again, get me a ticket to Massachusettes!

Serious bit of kit there. Have you any close ups of the goblin town board too?

Gene - here you go.
The Goblin Cave scene, 100% modular and a lot of fun to set up on (a bit tricky to game on because of just how much is going on).

I do have several things to make for the Goblin Town/ Moria cave complex once I move on to the dwarven side, I have a lot of idea's for mine workings and I need a stairway up to the next levels. So this piece will return again sometime. I know pictures would be better than a video for clarity, but it will give you a good idea.

As for Cirith Ungol, I have a few issues to resolve, how I want to make windows or archer slots, how many doors and where I will have them, the size of the courtyard and if it will be cobble stone, stables (unused by orcs but still would be standing) and many other things to get to (including the Cliffside behind the tower.

I will of course take a short painting break this week and reset the creative wheels after all the scoring labor, then get back to scenery.

*Wipes drool from keyboard*

A superb piece of work, just outstanding :yay:

Really looking forward to seeing it painted too! It looks really well made and cool at the moment, but when painted up I bet it'll look proper scary and sinister!
