TheLordOfBricks Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) Hello! This is my entry for Round 3 of the Middle Earth Lego Olympics! My category was Ithilien, so I decided to build the fight between the oliphaunts and the rangers of Ithilien! Linky to MELO... :D So, onto the build: Again, no WIP pictures this time, as I just wanted to chug through this one without any advice... :D This build is roughly 70 x 60 at max with an irregular baseplate, the oliphaunts took around 5 days to build and the landscape took the other 3... (The first 2 days I was still scrambling for what to build...) So yeah, I really went out of my comfort zone for this one, I am not a pro at BBFs, but I really do like these, the heads are actually at a couple different angles off of each other, and the "nets" in the movie are out of lego capes... I hope the judges see that I went out of my comfort zone for this one... :D Anyways, I hope you enjoyed! This was a fun one! Good luck Classical! May the best Ithilien Ranger win! :D C&C Appreciated! To God be the glory! Edited June 27, 2017 by TheLordOfBricks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheBeeze Posted July 18, 2017 Love your work on the hill there. I too use the slopes horizontally in a similar fashion. Curious though, the gradual buildup with the plates, is it solid all the way up or is there periodic supports under them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheLordOfBricks Posted July 18, 2017 Thanks! I wish I could redo the oliphaunts and that section of landscaping in this build, and I am not very fond of that section at all, but, yes, there are some periodic supports on the outer edge every 10 studs or so... Thanks again for your support! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
