Work on the bridge all but finished. My attention has now transferred to completing the gatehouse

That looks fantastic.

What a great idea!

Can't wait to see it completed.

Smashing!

Running out of superlatives, but that's one hell of a project. I'm really envious.

I agree about the superlatives!!

Absolutely stunning!! Thanks for sharing.

Both bridge approaches now complete

The barbican/gatehouse slowly takes shape. Ballista damage has been added to the second tower and the gateway develops further

The additional base which links the drawbridge to the main bridge with corbelling to support the drawbridge in place

That is lovely sukhe! I still have a very soft spot for LotR gaming. I like the non-GW miniatures you are using to.

Man, that is the sweetest looking bridge! I wish my Mordor orcs could invade across it

That finished bridge would be perfect for holding an entire game on. Who needs the rest of the terrain (except maybe some water to go over).

If you ever get tired of it, I'd be more than happy to take it off your hands.

Thanks for the accolade Operator5, but I'm looking forward to a long association with this edifice, if and when I ever get it completed that is...
A little bit further on. A view of the reverse side of the gatehouse now that I've inscribed the detailing on the walls etc.

I add peat brown ink lowlights to the detailing before using a combination of wet and drybrushing to recreate the stonework

N.B; the doors leading apparently to nowhere are for use when the gatehouse is part of the Rammas Echor. They connect to the wall walk of the Rammas ramparts.

There are no words to describe the sheer awesomeness of this project!

Gorgeous project and very inspiring approach to create it! I can imagine you'll have much fun gaming on it ...

Operator5 · « **Reply #43 on:** July 23, 2009, 04:03:16 PM »

Of course I have to ask, are you planning on more ruined buildings to go on either side of the river? I really want to know how you are planning to use this piece.

sukhe_bator · « **Reply #44 on:** July 24, 2009, 09:28:05 AM »

The plan is to have the bridgehead at the centre of a series of textured terrain boards. These have been designed to show ruined flooring of different styles - cobbles, tiling, paving etc., walls etc. up to the water edge and have been modelled in very low relief for ease of storage. I can then superimpose ruined buildings supplemented with bases with piles of rubble/debris (the scraps left over from the modelling) onto these 'floor plans' at appropriate points. I've deliberately avoided a more random approach to the terrain since I wanted to convey more of the former grandeur of the city. I have been heavily inspired by archaeological dig sites etc.

The concept is sketched out plan if you can follow my scribbles
