10237 Tower of Orthanc backside

[Vortex]

Hey Guys

I've made my own modification (backwall) for the tower of orthanc.

I've used the pictures from the one, user Missing Brick made about a year ago.

I've created the whole tower in digital designer.

If somebody is interested, I can share it with you :)

also: has somebody else made this in ldd?

Cheers Vortex

I just bought the tower and I'm really interested in modifying it. I will take a look on the modification you mentioned ! I let you know soon.

[Vortex]

As soon as possible I'll upload pics or / and the LDD-file (I'm at work now)...

BTW: I've copied all the parts needed beside the tower, so it's easy to make a list of the bricks you'll need to buy.

maybe I'll change a few things (it would also be nice, if the tower gains a bit of addictional height)

[Missing Brick]

FYI here's my complete tower mod:

[Vortex]

yup, mine looks basicly the same. nice work you've done!!

btw: did you build it in LDD also?

[Missing Brick]

Nope. I did it the old fashioned way.

[Vortex]

really cool! =)

For me it was nescessary, because the 10237 is the only set i own beside some of the architecture-series.

So I have to know, which bricks I have...

I saw your creation and that blew me away. the idea with the stairs is just awesome! So I've used your pictures as a guide to rebuild it.

these bricks (picture) are new to the set, am I right?

Can you buy it as a single brick somewhere?

[Vortex]

humm, I can't link the picture, because I don't have a flickr-account.

They talk about these new bricks in this video

[Missing Brick]

You mean the gothic arches? If I remember correctly they use 8 in the model - 6 on the windows of the potion room and 2 somewhere else internally. So you can just substitute the internal ones to provide the 8 arches needed for the complete 4-wall exterior.

[Vortex]

yup, exactly! Thanks for your help! =)

Missing brick, how much did it cost to get the pieces for the 4th side?

[konig78]

The fourth side is simply fantastic. I would really like to add it to my new tower!!

[Lancethecat]

I like how you were able to use the new side you built to connect all of the floors. Could you take a few pictures of the back side's exterior when attached to the model?

[Missing Brick]

Lance, if you click thru to my flickr you can find a number of pictures that show how it all slots together.

RedViper, I had alot of the parts already but black parts are generally quite cheap. I remember I got the long curved slopes for a ridiculously cheap price like 2p each or something.

hey guys

this is the LDD file of what I've got so far http://www78.zippyshare.com/v/58352456/file.html

there's a lot of bricks on the floor... to one side all these, I've used which don't come with the set.

to the other side the bricks which are left.

It's not done yet, so maybe you guys can make it better.

Thanks missing brick! =)

That looks amazing! You made what sets never have, a back wall, and stairs leading to the next floor. I love it!

My sister just finished building this, and we're exploring the possibility of adding a backwall. Can you upload the LDD file again? The link above already expired.

I know this is an old Topic, and the user Vortex wasn't active here for  2 years. But i try it anyway: Has someone downloaded his .ldd file and can share it ? ^^
