Wow! Love your various techniques fo building your walls!

[ZCerberus]

That is certainly large! This is quite the project!

I've commented on this before on Flickr.

Frankly the scale is utterly mind-boggling. How on earth did you manage to accumulate all those light bluish gray tiles? Particularly the 2x4s?

You are going to need a staggering number of Uruks to go along with this. Still, some people have amassed a suitable sized army....

That is very impressive. I can't wait to see the final product!

[Timber Jackalope]

I love that broken wall! Very, very nice build!

[jmagaletta]

Love this. Absolutely amazing job and it isnt even finished yet!!!

[Deathleech]

Very nice, and absolutely massive! This might be one of the biggest Helm's Deep MOCs I have ever seen when finished. Do you plan on doing any of the mountain behind the keep or on the sides? Also a suggestion, when you start making the base maybe you could use some more of the sand green and darker gray bricks to help break up the monotone light gray a little?

[Str0ngbad]

Wow! This is such a polished looking project. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to seeing more pictures.

[darwin316]

this is gonna be EPIC!

[DroppinSuga]

Um... HOLY COW!

[KristofBD]

Very impressive - especially the round walls. I agree with Deathleech: it would even look better if you slightly varied the colour scheme. But overall, extremely impressive!

[Altezza]

Thanks @all for the positive feedback!

I look every day on BL for 2x4 Tiles

currently over 2500 2x4 tiles mounted..

I know the 1300 Uruk-hai in the link. Its amazing! I have 370 Uruk-hai,

500 I want to have..

The latest update..

I know a moutain of words in french to describe how stunned I am, but "wahou" we'll be enough in english..

I've failed to understand how you created those amazing round walls till you mentionned 2x4 tiles...:)

[Kez]

Awesome work,I look forward to the final product

[jmagaletta]

Where are you going to keep this thing? That is my question. Also what is next. I think an Amon Sul would be smaller but awesome and doable. Otherwise I don't know Orthanc?

[kibosh]

Can you post some detail pictures of your wall constructions? Are the curved walls sturdy?

[-Carson Haupt-]

I'm at a loss for words!

[Brickington]

I am speechless This the best Helm's Deep I have seen! Incredible and large and awesome are all understatements! Plus you have a huge army of Rohans!

[Sered]

OMG ... it's amazing! I have no words for describing your work ...

I love how you realized the walls and details.

[Missing Brick]

Your first MOC you say? How about starting with something a little less challenging? May a 2:1 scale model of the Eiffel Tower or Sistine Chapel?

Seriously though - great job. The scale actually looks larger than the film. I think they could have withstood the assault if the walls were that high and thick.

[Savage_opress]

This is AWESOME !!!!

[Altezza]

Many thanks @all!!

Awesome work,I look forward to the final product

Many thanks!

Next project? I don´t know.. maybe Minas Morgul?!

I hope recognizes the Wall-technic?

It really is my first model. The Eiffel Tower in 2:1 - that would be 648 meters.. too much for me

The exact scale is difficult to maintain.

This is AWESOME !!!!

Thanks!
