Ok, here it is. The battle pics are finally up, I apologise for the long wait, the quality of the pictures and the fact that I have no more to say. ;)

Thanks!
I agree that there are not enough orks. I have about 30 or so but I will try to get some more, maybe 50-100 if I can get (or afford) the parts!

Sweet!!!  *satis*

But two things:

First you should use a complete baseplate for displaying the orcs or at least you should put a grey cloth beneath the plates they are standing!!! ;)
Second: More orcs.... :D

Nonetheless looking veeeeeery good!!! :D :D

I am working on that at the moment, I had to just use some plates to keep them standing up as they kept falling over. But I am currently modifying it so there will be a whole baseplate underneath.

Again, I am working on it! ;)

It looks like its coming along nicely, a base plate under the orcs would make them stand out more like the others have already mentioned.

Theirs a few sites out their that sell custom LOTR decals for most of the characters that might intrest you and they also do custom weapons and the best bit is that their prices are low :-D .

I would suggest a giant baseplate for the whole projet. I like a lot your project ! Do you think you'll still try to expand it slowly ?  :) It could be nice to see a giant moc at our event next year  :oD

Yes, this is my plan.
Firstly I plan to extend the end of the wall into some sort of BURPish structure. Then I will create a large plate underneath, as you said, which will cover the whole area of the MOC. (This is what I am trying to do at the moment)

Secondly I plan to make a few minor and major changes to the actual fortress.
I want to change the design of the tower and make it more rounded, then I will changed the arches at the back and maybe extend it to create the hall at the back.
Then I will do little detail changes around this area.

Lastly, I will buy a whole load of figures. Mainly orks and such and then I can get some decals on the elves.. and so on.

This project is basically on-going, so it won't ever really be complete. But I will DEFINATELY bring it to the eurobricks event! :)

Jon.

Yeah I did feel it looked out of date and place untill I actually noticed when it was posted...

Interesting to see this done long before LEGO LOTR or even the orcs/trolls in Fantasy Castle. And funny to see some similarities to what LEGO finally ended up doing.
