Well I thought I'd show you one of my oldest terrain projects. It was my first thing I ever built, and certainly the biggest so far. Started building this a while back but I'm often very busy so I don't find much time to work on it, but this is it so far. Tell me your views, comments and criticisms. I'm not one for planning things out, which isn't great because I've often ran into problems whilst building it. I'll give you a few stages;

Constructed of foamboard, as you can see. It's pretty big already here taking up much of the floor.

Excuse the horrible painting ^^

Work In Progress picture, making the mountain

Sorry, killer chicken in the background there ^^

This is a really enjoyable board to play on, and I plan on making more big projects in the future. I'm likely to sell this one, for space is running out . It does make great fun for scenarios, and when you have whole armies breaching the walls & all, it's well good!

**DeathwingCrusader**

WOW!!! Well done!

**LunaHound**

A giant chicken is attacking it! where are the defenders?

**LordWynne**

Give me a price, I will by that.....Woooo I got all the defending figs for that bad boy.

**DarkAngelHopeful**

That's really well done for someone who doesn't plan things out hehehe

Seriously though, well done!

**Orinoco**

awesome. And the rest of the wall?!!

**Drumstick**

I have the rest of the wall & I can take a picture if you wish.

**Old Man Yarrik**

Pure sexyness

**Pennywise**

Thats looks sick.

**Mattlov**

That is amazing. Very nice piece of terrain.

**bosky**

Terrific work and detail, it looks very realistic and just like the movie!

**camboyaz**

Oh my fething god......... GIMME GIMME GIMME!

**Ma55ter_fett**

Its a nice piece, better than anything I made in the 12th-15th years of my life.

**Chibi Bodge-Battle**

Not a bad start but the chicken needs a Badass Black wash and some dry brushing to bring out the detail...

What?
I thought that was what everyone was supposed to say on these threads

Really excellent matey! well done

**Drumstick**

hehe cheers for the nice comments.. For now I've given up on it & moved onto other small projects. My next big project is going to be a cathedral - should I post all my terrain stuff up here or on the model making section?

**Sternguard_rock**

Scale 1 to 11, about a 10.5 only thing is its not MINE

**Feforfar**

I love it, best terrain I've seen!

Well done, 10 out of 10!

**Drumstick**

Hey folks, thought I'd show you some of my progress on Helm's Deep. Nothing much has been done on it since I've been so busy with exams etc... I've added a few things, so it's almost complete. Tell me what you think anywhoo folks.

**Orinoco**

oh man that is outstanding. I'm really looking forward to the completion and first battle report. Did you make a secret side door for aragorn and gimli to leap form?

ehe I did have the thought at the beginning and I could probably still do it actually. If it did it, it would not be a functional one - just the outline. What you think?

**Emmkay**

Awesome, truly.

Now you just need 10,000 plastic Uruk-Hai to assault that masterpiece.

**Hasharii**

That looks realy, realy great!

**spookman**

I thought about building a Helms Deep at one point, but never got round to it. Well done! (You've done a better job than I ever could)

**reds8n**

Most impressive indeed.

**Medium of Death**

Yet more fantastic work from yourself. Bravo sir!

**samrtk**

Looks like something that came straight out of WETA Digital while they were making the movies. Major props man, its awesome.

**Task Force Terrain**

Wow Thats one maazing model! Thanks for sharing the Photos.

Do it! DO IT NOW!

**rodgers37**

This is an amazing model, probably as good as the mock ups they made for the film....
Sorry if you've already said, but how much time have you put into this?

**Drumstick**

Hey man, cheers. It's taken around a year now for I find it quite difficult to find time to work on it. Thought I'd throw up a few new pics I took a while a go, sorry they look a little dark.

"Looks like something that came straight out of WETA Digital while they were making the movies. Major props man, its awesome" - lol wouldn't say it's WETA standards yet, their models are insainly detailed.
