Helm's Deep.

In Tolkien's Middle-earth high fantasy writings, Helm's Deep was a large valley in the north-western Ered Nimrais

------

Inside the keep there were stables and an armoury, as well as a great hall in the rear which was dug out of the mountainside. There also was a great tower (the Hornburg) the top of which consisted of the great horn of Helm Hammerhand.

------

In the Two Towers, King Théoden said that "Helm's Deep would never fall while men defended it," giving an impression of invulnerability. This is then overturned, as an army Uruk-hai sent by Saruman later almost overwhelm the defences of the Rohirrim. This was achieved by the orcs using an explosive blast of fire within the culvert which, when detonated, destroyed the main defences.

Thanks!

Doesn't quite look the same as the movie version (well its my only reference), but that doesn't detract from the awesomeness of your creation.

I like how you used minfiigure legs to form the window.

very nice, Fianat ;)

now, you HAVE to play a little with it, and when you do, snap few pictures, I would love to see it with minifigs :)

I second this. :classic:

Very nice creation! I love the fact that you didn't just copy the film version, and made your own version. Are there any chances of you adding on the Deeping Wall? It would be awesome to see the full fortress made with the whole battle setup.

Well done Fianat, a nice 'personal' rendition of the Helm's Deep but at the same time still reminiscent of the movie version. I'd also love to see this with minifigs in action. Good job! :thumbup:

Well, compared to this picture, I find your MOC very recognizable Helm's Deep (except it lacks the long wall).

I like how you did the walls here, high, solid and you can even put soldiers on them.

Are you planning to build the long wall too? Would be awesome and make it look even more like Helm's Deep.
