CCCXII - Siege of Minas Tirith

Recommended Posts

This is my 5th entry to the Colossal Castle Contest - Category: Castle Siege

This is a scene from the Lord of the Rings. The armies of Mordor are attacking the city of Minas Tirith. They are using the battering ram named Grond to break through the main gate. It is shaped like a wolf's head and enchanted with black magic.

Great build, Disco!

The wall and Grond do not seem to be quite large enough for minifigure scale, but both are excellently done! I particularly like the way you did the gate and the incorporation of the sand green pieces representative of what seems in the film to be a copper overlay on the door. The battle is perfectly chaotic, with everyone in action and disrepair on the wall from the battle.

Amazing work, Disco :classic: .

I really love all your Middle Earth creations! Your Siege of Minas Tirith Moc looks fantastic! The techniques for Grond are very nice and it looks very accurate. Furthermore I also like the front gate with the lime green, green and the statues.

The white walls with the dark bluish gray elements look stunning, too :wink: .

Good luck for the contest!

Great thanks to all of you for commenting some nice words. Looking forward to this years LotR builds :wink:

Is that your sig fig in the wall?

Yes he is, forgot to place him in even more MOCs this year... but the middle earth scene made his appearance inevitable :wink:

The wall and Grond do not seem to be quite large enough for minifigure scale,

You are right, both have to be larger. But the size limit in the contest was 48x48, even the shrinked versions are too big for the plate :sceptic:
