TheLordOfBricks Posted July 27, 2017 Hello! This is my fifth of 19 posts I will be doing, where I will be building my way through the Hobbit story, one chapter per post, I will do this over the course of the year... Anyways, about the build, this is on a 30 x 30 or so base, and is about 1000 pieces! The rockwork was also quite challenging, the smaller boulders were difficult to fit the sides together because of the limited space, while the big boulder was tricky because of all the strange angles... :D Enjoy! :D Here are some pics of the build: Here are some pics of the main boulder: And of course, some WIP pics: And the main pic again: I hope you enjoyed! To God be the glory! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KevinyWu Posted July 28, 2017 Awesome creation, the rocks look very natural! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MAB Posted July 28, 2017 Nice rockwork, is Gollum hiding in there somewhere? I think I prefer the smaller boulders, as the edges created by the large curved wedges don't quite look right on the larger ones. What are the minifig hair pieces? I assume the hats are mushrooms / fungi. The boulders could also do with something around the edges to hide the small gaps that make them look like they are floating, maybe just some stones (1x1 rounds) or a few old bones scattered around.

Thanks! Unfortunately, no I don't have a Gollum minifigure... :/ The hair pieces are mushrooms/fungi as well as the hats. :D Bones would have been nice, a really good suggestion actually that I completely forgot to include in the build... Thanks again for all the suggestions! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MAB Posted July 28, 2017 If you are in the US, I think Gollum (with narrow eyes) is quite cheap at the moment on BL, as the Dimensions game pack has been sold off really cheap there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vorkosigan Posted July 28, 2017 Nice rockwork! Its kind of funny to see sand green being used as hidden support structure, since it has been one of the less common colors until recently with it being in PAB and now quite a few new pieces in Ninjago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I looked on BL, and decided that I wasn't gonna get one, just because I didn't feel like I would use it much... :/ 2 hours ago, Vorkosigan said: Nice rockwork!

Thanks! Yes, actually, I got around 2,400 off of PAB, so, it is the easiest way for me to connect my rockwork, and I have done this with all my rockwork for a long time now... :D Thanks again! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
