[MOC] Out of the Frying-Pan into the Fire...

[TheLordOfBricks]

Hello! This is my sixth of 19 posts I will be doing, where I will be building my way through the Hobbit story, one chapter per post, I will do this over the course of the year...

This is my first entry to the CCCXV, and It is for the diplomatic mission category.

So, about the build. This one is at maximum 32 x 57 x 41, but the rockwork narrows down to 20 x 28 at the bottom. I estimate it is around 3500 pieces, and it weighs around 12 pounds! The landscape is kind of unusual for me, and it is a dark green and olive green. While most of it is just SNOT, and some SNOTed off of SNOT, there are a few angles pieces in there, which I am happy with. :P Enjoy! :D

The light grey is for the required lighter colored background in entering the competition:

WIP pics can be viewed here, feel free to drop a like and a comment. :)

Overall, I am pretty happy with this build. Even though it took a quarter of my building time in the CCC, I think it is worth it for spending that amount of time on it. It is the most rockwork I have done in one build yet, and I like it, the Christmas BL order turned out useful! :D Also, I will be going for 7 entries this year (all of which will be Hobbit related), so be looking out for the rest! :D

C&C Appreciated!

I hope you enjoyed!

To God be the glory!

This is quite nice! Great landscape, great trees. 

Do you have any high-Rez photos of the trees somewhere? I am very curious about the tree construction.

Really like the build, "The Hobbit" is one of my all-time favorite stories. IMO, I think you focused a little too much on the rockwork (which IS excellent!) than the rest of the build. The ground on top is nice, but there should be less of a straight line, with a bit more variance across the cliff. The trees are cool, but seem out-of-scale, almost comical, compared to the rest of it. Nitpicking aside...

Good luck in the contest! Will definitely watch for the other entries!

Thanks! @Andy D, unfortunately no, MP doesn't upload pics in very high resolution... @Leonardo da Bricki, yep, rocks took a good bit longer than everything else. It kinda shows too... @pantelis, Thanks! Glad you liked it!
