|
|
Jon, I am in awe, and a little bit of despair. I need to eventually address this for my own Tolkien project, but after seeing your Helm's Deep model and battle sequence, I'm afraid it could never live up. Your creation is just awesome. I like that (...) (23 years ago, 12-Mar-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) WOW! Very cool. I think you captured that "otherworldly feel" quite well. I really like the slanted stairs. Playing BrikWars on this setup could be a ton of fun. About the battle: Very neat. There is a sense of urgency about it. Like the evil (...) (23 years ago, 12-Mar-02, to lugnet.castle)

I must say, the overall lighting in all of your pictures is absolutely spectacular! They all seem to have such a warm glow and present such realism. My photos on the other-hand appear white-washed and pale. (Even when I remove all the florescent (...) (23 years ago, 12-Mar-02, to lugnet.castle)

I got down to "work" and worked some more on my castle project. I finished up the back wall, and worked on the floor of the "keep".

Man, awesome! Beautiful! Is there any interior to speak of? Your LotR MOCs are so great, they make me want to try to read the books again (I've tried twice and never got past the council of Elrond). The battle scene looks terrific! Magnus (23 years ago, 13-Mar-02, to lugnet.castle)
