If you do one on a sandy (Harad) base, you could possibly double it up for Mars?
Portugese missionaries alongside the Japanese perhaps.

Cracking build!  :-* I think I should cut me some of those blue bricks and just build something :)

Very nice. A few questions, which I suspect may have been answered at some point over the last 18 pages....

Is that standard blue insulation foam? (looks more like the stuff for window frames but could be the cut)
What size are the bricks and how are they cut?
Did you round them off before assembly? They look less precise in the build.
Did you texture them before painting? Looks like a fine sand or similar under the paint?

Cheers  :D
So many projects..... so little time.......

An inspirational thread. That lighthouse is a stunning scratch-build.

Thanks again chaps  :)

If you do one on a sandy (Harad) base, you could possibly double it up for Mars?
Portugese missionaries alongside the Japanese perhaps.

I'm afraid I'm too anal for that, especially the Japanese one.

I think I should cut me some of those blue bricks and just build something :)

Do it  :D

Very nice. A few questions, which I suspect may have been answered at some point over the last 18 pages....

Of course  ::) but as I'm such a nice chap...

It's standard blue foam that's precut into various sheet thicknesses, this one being 10mm and the sheet size is 600mm x 600mm.
The block size is 10mm x 10mm x 20mm, a good, standard size to use.
They have all been cut with an extending scalpel and a steady hand/eye.
They got bashed about after being cut.
A normal mix of masonry paint, filler and glue was painted on before colours were applied.

Anything else  ::) ;D ;)

cheers

James

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.)

Nice. Gives u the White City intact and Osgiliath ruined etc...

Good call.
