Posted July 20, 201410 yr High in the mountains, through rocky paths and freezing passes, over mountain pastures and valley villages, lies the Bellfast Citadel. Built as the last bastion of men in the second era by Barwyck the Bull, the castle has never fallen. It's strong walls, and two gates, as well as a tunnel where food can be smuggled in in the event of a siege, has insured that any that live inside will not be taken. There are rumors being spread among the citizens that there is an ancient dwarven stronghold nearby.

July 20, 201410 yr Nice micro scale creation! Like I have written on flickr before, this reminds me of a mixture of Helm's Deep and the Erebor from Tolkien's books / Peter Jackson's movies. The little green dragon inside the cave is a nice little detail.
July 20, 201410 yr I like the build, the cave, the runes on the front. But I find it a bit too monotone with the large amount of dark grey.
July 20, 201410 yr Very nice micro (I too thought of Erebor and Helm's Deep). The fortress really looks like it was carved out of the mountain, and the rockwork is excellent as well.
July 20, 201410 yr Nice build! Definitely gives the carved out of the mountain feel. I like the cold mountain stream and snow capped peaks. The runes are great. The whole scene is fantastic!
July 21, 201410 yr Very nice! All of the rock work looks great, very natural. But maybe the very top 1x2 slope bricks should be white too? I love the cave. Smart use of the baby dragon in micro scale.
July 21, 201410 yr good,the runes on the front. But I find it a bit too monotone with the large amount of dark grey. Edited July 21, 201410 yr by nowledgebos
July 21, 201410 yr I'd say you could fix the color issue with some light bley and blue (for the water) without sacrificing anything. I love this build either way, one of the best micros I've seen and one of the only ones that has ever made me feel like trying my hand at this.

The little green dragon inside the cave is a nice little detail. Thanks! Those were both inspiration! I like the build, the cave, the runes on the front. But I find it a bit too monotone with the large amount of dark grey. Thanks Cara! I think it's pretty monotone too, but I was almost aiming for that to make it appear more wind blown/ cold without involving large amounts of snow. (Which I don't have!) Very nice micro (I too thought of Erebor and Helm's Deep). The fortress really looks like it was carved out of the mountain, and the rockwork is excellent as well. Thanks! That's the exact look I was going for! Terrific! Thanks a bunch! Nice build! Definitely gives the carved out of the mountain feel. I like the cold mountain stream and snow capped peaks.

If I did it again I'd probably make a section of castle reaching over to the white temple to break up that half of the mountain more. You should definitely try making one, I'd be interested to see your results and they're really fun!
