Hi all, I know it's been a long time, but here are the next four chapters I've built for my Lord of the Rings project: http://www.ozbricks.net/bricktales/lotr/lotrstory/book3/chapter311/lotrstory311-01.html http://www.ozbricks.net/bricktales/lotr/lotrstory/book4/chapter401/lotrstory401-01.html http://www.ozbricks.net/bricktales/lotr/lotrstory/book5/chapter502/lotrstory502-01.html http://www.ozbricks.net/bricktales/lotr/lotrstory/book5/chapter503/lotrstory503-01.html "The Passing of the Grey Company" is by far the most complex I've done so far, with several different settings and a lot of photoshop work on the pictures with the armies of the dead. Each of those was a compilation of about 20 different photos photoshopped together. Perhaps this is cheating, but I think it looked better than going with a big pile of ghosts and skeletons to make the dead. "The Taming of Smeagol" was by far the fastest chapter to come together. I already had the text written (actually, I've got the text written for a bunch of chapters I have yet to build the scenes for) and on Tuesday night I built most of the cliff. Then last night I finished the cliff, filled in the details, and did all the photography. I knew I was going to post these other three chapters, so I figured I'd hurry and get a fourth one up at the same time. Anyway, PLMKWYT. Bruce

(...) Nice work. Lord of the Rings stuff is certainly my favorite interest in castle creations. I remember when The Two Towers came out, everybody would keep comparing Dobby with Gollum. So I was not too surprised with your choice of minifig :) (21 years ago, 17-Oct-03, to lugnet.castle)

Hey Bruce, I really like the work you did with the army of the dead! The ghosting on the images is cool! I like how you didn't make the scene about the effects, but let the effects enhance the scene! Very nice. I love seeing your work (your aragorn (...) (21 years ago, 18-Oct-03, to lugnet.castle)
