Aha!

Planted all the grass and painted the fence, the only thing left now are the trees, a few pot plants and a couple of gardening tools

. . . and some Hobbits to defend it from the marauding Orcses!

That is just BEAUTIFUL...FANTASTICALLY WELL DONE!

That's rather cute!

It will be bonkers when finished James.

Not to mention the rest of hobbiton

. A hobbit never lives alone you know, unless he's one of dem strange folks across the river.

Cheers

Lovely work Jim,

I plan on several of these myself for my own Hobbiton build... wonderful inspiration :-)

Many thanks for the replies chaps

Quite possibly more 'holes' to follow but I'll be moving onto some Gondorian architecture next

cheers

Lush!

Still need to plant trees and bushes on the hole but I've made a start on some simple Gondorian architecture (ever the butterfly

).

I've decided to make the buildings from blue foam blocks as opposed to the scoring method. Longer in the long run no doubt but hopefully a more pleasing effect.

The blocks are 10mm x 10mm x 20mm for the basic ones and other will be cut as necessary. Always best to keep them organised

I think I'm going to make a series of simple MDF jigs to help hold the bits in place whilst gluing.

I think for the fancier bits I'll be making one or two from foam and then casting them but we'll see

cheers

James

Looking forward to seeing it finished

Looking very cool James - love the individual block approach.

BTW - your Hobbit hole looks amazing (don't take that comment as a having a double meaning please)

You have too MANY threads to keep up with.

Gondor and individual blocks

Jimbo my dear, I think you've lost it...

Coolio

Nice!

Doesn't feel very generic anymore though. I mean, relly, Gondor?
