Posted May 6, 201311 yr Hi all, this ist my first LEGO-project after the dark ages. Helm´s Deep in plastic - started in august 2012 Sorry for the sparse description.. My english is really bad! ..less words - more pictures Thanks for looking and i hope you like it.. flickr: http://www.flickr.co...57631303846332/
May 6, 201311 yr 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.... http://mocpages.com/moc.php/359665
May 6, 201311 yr 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?
May 6, 201311 yr Wow! This is such a polished looking project. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to seeing more pictures.
May 6, 201311 yr 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!
May 6, 201311 yr Author Thanks @all for the positive feedback! I've commented on this before on Flickr. Frankly the scale is utterly mind-boggling.

I know the 1300 Uruk-hai in the link. Its amazing! I have 370 Uruk-hai, 500 I want to have.. Very nice, and absolutely massive!

Thanks! yes I plan to build the mountains in the background. the details in sand green and darker gray comes at the end.. The latest update..
May 6, 201311 yr 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...:)
May 6, 201311 yr 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?
May 7, 201311 yr Can you post some detail pictures of your wall constructions? Are the curved walls sturdy?
May 7, 201311 yr 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!
May 7, 201311 yr OMG ... it's amazing! I have no words for describing your work ... I love how you realized the walls and details.
May 7, 201311 yr 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.
May 7, 201311 yr Author Many thanks @all!! 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...:) Thanks - wahou is also good Awesome work,I look forward to the final product Many thanks! 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? Next project? I don´t know.. maybe Minas Morgul?! Can you post some detail pictures of your wall constructions? Are the curved walls sturdy? I hope recognizes the Wall-technic? I'm at a loss for words! Thanks!

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!
May 7, 201311 yr This is absolutely stunning! I really enjoy Helm's Deep mocs, as i have built one myself too :). I wish you luck and cannot wait to see the end result.
