Jim's general LotR thread **02.08.14 Lighthouse at Linhir complete **

[gamer Mac]

Lovely work Jim

[von Lucky]

Yeah - very nice.

Maybe something connected with water next? Bridge, ferry crossing, well.

Jim - one idea for a swappable top is a ruined top. Easy and quick to make and then you can use it for some of Gondor's harder done by regions (Osgiliath, etc.)

Thanks for the replies and suggestions chaps 

Interesting idea using single bricks, has the advantage to get all the joints correctly on all sides of a wall. Must give it a try ... 

It's strange really. This is the way to build real buildings but it really didn't occur to me until a short while ago to build models this way 

Gondorian toll house? Hexagonal stone building with a tower?

Both, in a small compound would make a good peice of terrain without having to go overboard with buildings  I'll credit you for it when I make my millions

Well, I have a lighthouse so maybe a small port

Yes, I like that. That'll give me three different tops, even more choices 

Perhaps a bit more modularity in general would work, being able to swap over different bits here and there

Lovely jubbly jimmbly bibbly 

[Ray Earle]

Nice James. 

What about a lighthouse/beacon keepers dwelling? A fairly small one person hovel, something that would fit with the story of the tower?

[OSHIROmodels]

Smaller blocks for that one and will probable have a similar style to the beacon watch house in the third film 

cheers

James

[OSHIROmodels]

The light house at Linhir is complete 






Next will be a waystation compound 

Oh, and some figures at some point... 

cheers

Fantastic now all you need is a hobbit climbing it! 

[Silent Invader]

Very special indeed!

Some inspiration for the next build ....



... as my vote is for terraces, levels, stairs, battlements, etc  

[Blackwolf]

[Mason]

That has come out a bit good, mate.
