Is it normal that no images show up? I can only see "Please upgrade your account to enable 3rd party hosting...". Maybe try to upload using Flickr or Bricklink?

[Hold0511]

Nope sorry can't see the images - as above try using a different host.

[Isavarg]

You need to change your image host as you have to pay photobucket to show your images, or get a free web hosting account that allows you to direct link them.

This is good, really good.

Beautiful effect of the gate

[MovieMocs]

I love it! Looks just like the movie!

[Littleworlds]

Looks good! Very well built and staged - quite cinematic. I would make it look more derelict though, to make it look more - I almost said lived-in  Maybe the pillars more crumbled and more damage and structure on the walls as well, with rocks piling on the floor. Things like that. Its just a bit too clean for my idea of Moria.

[pantelis]

Very nice and realistic creation...

[AmperZand]

Very impressive!  I especially like the texturing of the walls and the shape of the architectural features like the columns.

I don't like fleshies and would have yellowised the Fellowship, but appreciate that fleshies make the creation more like a UCS set or display piece at a LEGO store.

Nice build. It looks pretty movie accurate. Maybe do a few alternative poses - with Legolas on the cave troll, etc.

[IstakaCiti]

That's pretty cool and accurate scene :)

Pretty sure i saw this on ebay a few months ago??

[Mr. Cube]

...and I saw this and that Weathertop on Aukro.cz :) Was it created by you or you just bought it?

[SirBlake]

This is beautiful. Best depiction of this scene that I've ever come across.

Thanks for all the feedback!

I know what you mean. At first I made it with more bricks on the floor and around for "damage effect" but then it looked like "big mess".. I wanted to make minifigures and the battle itself centre of the model and with all that bricks around they were "lost" in mess (even though in the movie there was a big mess =)) )

I created it and I was selling it, because I needed funds for my other lego projects. But then I decided to keep it. (Same as my other model "Attack on Weathertop")

Ah, interesting to see we had the same thought process originally  Its often very different how a thing turns out compared to how did you plan it indeed!

Nice build.

A fine MOC of a great action scene from the movie.

Tan and Dark Tan really works on the floor.

Thanks for sharing.

[Captain Braunsfeld]

You have captured the scene quite well!

[Blazej_Holen]

Looks very nice, but to much "clean" if you gonna me :) I would imagine that this specific scene requires some mess, dead bodies, or skeletons, dirt, more demaged walls etc...
