Karlson Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 (edited) One of my favorite scenes from The Two Towers is when Gandalf, Eomer, and the Rohirrim arrive at the battle of Helm's Deep to turn the tide. I've really been wanting to do a small-scale MOC of this scene, so I gave it a go today! Here's the scene for a quick reference: ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________And here's my MOC!...And now for some UPDATED SHOTS (based off constructive criticism) Edited July 7, 2013 by Karlson Quote
OrcSan Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Great scene , I can't wait to get my hands on Gandalf the white :) Quote
Athos Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 The orcs seem a little too nonchalant about the whole thing... Steve Quote
Grimmbeard Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Nice little scene It captures the actual clip quite well. Quote
Dutchy Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 It looks great and it really looks like the scene from the movie! The only thing I miss are a few ten thousand minifigs but I understand your problem... Quote
Seaber Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 Very Nice! The only think I'd change is the posing of the Uruk-Hai with pikes. I don't think they carried shields, so I would position them sideways. Very cool though, Gandalf the White looks lovely! Quote
soccerkid6 Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 Nice recreation of the scene I think making all the horses galloping and posing the uruks so they look a little more worried would add to the scene though Quote
Missing Brick Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 Nice MOC. Agreed the orcs need to be in disarray, with some fleeing in fear. Quote
TheLegoDr Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 Great MOC. I love that scene and I love the saying, look to the East. It just alluded to something grand. I agree by having some orcs/uruks fleeing away would be a good addition. But also I think what this MOC is really missing is the blinding white light of the sun! Keep up the great work! Quote
Karlson Posted July 7, 2013 Author Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) I'd like to thank everybody for their replies and constructive criticism. In fact, I took all your ideas and updated this MOC. I'm still fairly new to building my own creations, so your ideas in each response help a lot. Here's some updated shots. I think I captured the scene much better this time around. Let me know what you think! (You can click each photo for a larger view.) Edited July 7, 2013 by Karlson Quote
Hive Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 Great work, the lighting adds an impressive effect. Quote
Only Sinner Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 The lighting effect really makes this one spectacular MOC! Looking as if Gandalf is a savior swooping down in to battle the devil's hoarde as the sunrise is cresting the hill. Quote

Looking as if Gandalf is a savior swooping down in to battle the devil's hoarde as the sunrise is cresting the hill. That is some nice imagery! It is amazing what you can achieve just by playing around with a lighting source. Quote
