-Carson Haupt- Posted July 20, 2014 High in the mountains, through rocky paths and freezing passes, over mountain pastures and valley villages, lies the Bellfast Citadel. Built as the last bastion of men in the second era by Barwyck the Bull, the castle has never fallen. It's strong walls, and two gates, as well as a tunnel where food can be smuggled in in the event of a siege, has insured that any that live inside will not be taken. There are rumors being spread among the citizens that there is an ancient dwarven stronghold nearby.

Wat Tambor Posted July 20, 2014 Nice micro scale creation! Like I have written on flickr before, this reminds me of a mixture of Helm's Deep and the Erebor from Tolkien's books / Peter Jackson's movies. The little green dragon inside the cave is a nice little detail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cara Posted July 20, 2014 I like the build, the cave, the runes on the front. But I find it a bit too monotone with the large amount of dark grey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scaevola Posted July 20, 2014 Very nice micro (I too thought of Erebor and Helm's Deep). The fortress really looks like it was carved out of the mountain, and the rockwork is excellent as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady K Posted July 20, 2014 Nice build! Definitely gives the carved out of the mountain feel. I like the cold mountain stream and snow capped peaks. The runes are great. The whole scene is fantastic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Walter Maugham Posted July 21, 2014 Very nice! All of the rock work looks great, very natural. But maybe the very top 1x2 slope bricks should be white too? I love the cave. Smart use of the baby dragon in micro scale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nowledgebos Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) good,the runes on the front. But I find it a bit too monotone with the large amount of dark grey. Edited July 21, 2014 by nowledgebos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccoyed Posted July 21, 2014 I'd say you could fix the color issue with some light bley and blue (for the water) without sacrificing anything. I love this build either way, one of the best micros I've seen and one of the only ones that has ever made me feel like trying my hand at this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I find it a bit too monotone with the large amount of dark grey. Thanks Cara! I think it's pretty monotone too, but I was almost aiming for that to make it appear more wind blown/ cold without involving large amounts of snow. (Which I don't have!) Very nice micro (I too thought of Erebor and Helm's Deep). The fortress really looks like it was carved out of the mountain, and the rockwork is excellent as well. Thanks! That's the exact look I was going for! Terrific! Thanks a bunch! Nice build! Definitely gives the carved out of the mountain feel. I like the cold mountain stream and snow capped peaks. The runes are great. The whole scene is fantastic! Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! good,the runes on the front. But I find it a bit too monotone with the large amount of dark grey. Thanks!

I love this build either way, one of the best micros I've seen and one of the only ones that has ever made me feel like trying my hand at this. Hmm, good suggestions! If I did it again I'd probably make a section of castle reaching over to the white temple to break up that half of the mountain more. You should definitely try making one, I'd be interested to see your results and they're really fun! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
