Welcome!

This is a great MOC (e.g. including three different roof styles). I am looking forward to more.

You might want to look at this:

Welcome to the forum! Your MOC looks amazing!

[Disco86]

Great to see you here at Eurobricks ! The perfect place to meet a nice community.

And you are showing us a good build. The floor looks much better than your first version. You captured the feeling of the city, and I am totally axcited about the movie release when I look at your work.

Brick on !

Thanks for the warm welcome and the kind words about my latest MOC, I'm really happy that you like it. It's really pushing me to start building more rightaway

Hey, that's cool

I'm really looking forward seeing how you interpreted the Ravenhilltower.

I'm just half way gone building it and need to make some more orders on bricklink to complete it - i hope it's finished till the last Hobbits Movie hits theater .

[Steckley]

Very nice. I also like the way you photographed it, especially the last two pictures. Your composition in both really conveys a sense of tension appropriate for the scene.

[Balbo]

Thanks .

I'm glad you like my MOC and the fotos

[Godless-Mimicry]

Excellent stuff. May have to steal some ideas from you.

[danyboy2127]

Ohhh! It's awsome!

[Brick Wizard001]

WOW! Im so jealous!!! That looks awesome! :D

[richchie]

you made a great work here, i almost feel the atmosphere of the battle in the city :-)

[Bugbot2008]

Fantastic work! I like the shot of Bard on the cart

[BrickSev]

Very impressive MOC.

Do you remember how many pieces you used? Just curious

Congratulation for your outstanding work. Well done, indeed

[TheWorldAhead]

This is fantastic, and it's hard to believe that you built it all before seeing the movie! I forget, was Bard on the troll vs. the cart featured in one of the trailers? I love the warning horn pavilion..."the bells were ringing in the Dale/the Men looked up with faces pale..."

[Balbo]

Thanks for all your kind words. It makes my very happy and really starts pushing me building more MOCs

Hmm, I don't know for sure but I think I used around 2500 pieces. Especially the ground was tricky, with all the plates and tiles

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. You're right, the Bard vs. Troll scene was featuared in the trailer and so decided to add it in my MOC to make it more recognizable .

Actually I started building this MOC in August and I tried to work with concept arts and pictures from the film set I found in the internet. My main goal was to make it as accurate to the movie as possible .

I imagined the ground was tricky.

You truly did a wonderful job with this MOC. Congratulations again and keep up the great work
