more pictures soon, I want to finish some details inside the castle and also finish planning fiction story which I put between events from Hobbit and Lord of the rings

after nearly 4 years since I start to thinking about this project, I am nearly in the end of the journey, almost all is done, still some small details have to build (house for cows, interiers of the castle - most of the castle can be removed to get accses to interiers) more pictures when I finish those details (right now the diorama is around 98% done...) , so till then just one promo image - just city without army of orcs who make siege of the city.... city of Tharbad by richchie, on Flickr SO on April 3rd , year 2019 I finish this project. I decide to create new topic where i put only pictures of final creation. This topic was to show you progress of building. New topic can find here :

first tower finished, still to finish tower in the front and main tower on the right side . i must think about how to finish tme (with roofs or not...) 77 by richchie, on Flickr

just to finish tower in the front, and repair tower on the left side in the back and finish main tower (right side , on the back) and the castle will be done. more pictures within weeks

another update... finished roofs, start building main tower, then another two smaller towers and the castle is done. The castle is build to have maximum playability (you can open roofs, walls to get accses inside, more pictures when the whole castle will be done) sorry for bad pictures, made in the night... 75 by richchie, on Flickr 76 by richchie, on Flickr

City of tharbad was in tolkien world city, that belongs to kingom of Arnor, sister kingdom of Gondor. The siege of tharbad you can not find in tolkiens books, but I decide to make small fiction, timeline of the story is between events from hobbit and LOTR. here I am posting pictures of progres in this diorama : Hope you enjoy my creations :-)

more pictures soon

Finally i finish my 2nd version of council of elrond. I was inspired by Disco´s Council. I change some thing in my MOC , also the minifigures are not exactly like in the movie, but this is because I want to put this creation to my fiction LOTR story (timeline will be bettwen hobbit an LOTR events), more details about that ficiton story I will put here in the future. Hope you will like my creation :-) IMG_20180815_071402 by richchie, on Flickr IMG_20180815_071324 by richchie, on Flickr IMG_20180815_071301 by richchie, on Flickr IMG_20180815_071255 by richchie, on Flickr IMG_20180815_071246 by richchie, on Flickr IMG_20180815_071224 by richchie, on Flickr IMG_20180815_071205 by richchie, on Flickr IMG_20180815_071150 by richchie, on Flickr

bricks are at home so I try to make some progress, will put photos here..

many thanks for all coments, i see that the river interests the most :-) I decided to do the river like this because I want to try this technique. I know that the real colour of rivers are different and not so pure blue, but i think in lego MOC is ok. i put also medium blue to create a various colour of the river. (also put some white plates to create the imagination of floating water). About that trees - I put here only lego trees but i want to build 2-3 larger trees, i have bricks at home ,but first i must make some plan where to put hat trees. About Castle - as you can see the basic floor plan, it will be a small castle, probably with 3 towers (2 with the roof). i wanted to put forge into castle , but there is no place, so small forge will be near the river (between small river from the rock and bridge crosing the river to alow soldiers to go from road to castle)

Hi, after nearly 4 years since I start thinking about this procejt (and two years since I start building it) I am nearly in the end of the journey. My diorama is almost done (progress around 98%, still some small details I have to finish). The diorama consist of 12 parts : 2 parts are castle, 2 parst are village, 2 parts are city walls, 2 parts are river and 4 parts are attacking army of orcs. Castle has interiers, and most of the castle is openable to get acces inside. I must finish some details in interiers, so till then just one promo image cust city itself without attacking army, I put here also older picture where you can see the attacking army (castle build on this picture was just at the begining) (EDIT on March 25th, 2019) City of tharbad : city of Tharbad by richchie, on Flickr older photo (castle in progres) with siege army of orcs : IMG_20180928_094715 by richchie, on Flickr first floor of castle finished (edit: October 8th. 2018) : 56 by richchie, on Flickr

my rohan army : IMG_20170331_121045 by richchie, on Flickr also I finished elves and gondor defending the mountain pass : 1 by richchie, on Flickr 4 by richchie, on Flickr I posted the orcs army here in the past, but just one picture to remind with who my good armies will fight : 1 by richchie, on Flickr I also have 21 warg riders but i do not have terain to display them like the other armies, so the picture of wargs riders will be post here in future :-)

nice MOC, its funny that you and I put here pictures of hobbit bagend in last two days

I can not expand the house, because i do not have enough place at home (need place to my other MOC) so i decided just make landscape around official LEGO set.

Finaly I finished my latest creation - hobbit UCs. I like the official LEGO set 79003, so I decided to upgrade it and make it as my own creation, that yould eventualy be Hobbit UCS set. hope you like it. Photos were made at night so the colours are not so good as I want, but maybe in future i will make new pictures on daylight. till that here are some pictures : IMG_20170209_061851 by richchie, on Flickr IMG_20170209_061911 by richchie, on Flickr IMG_20170209_062004 by richchie, on Flickr IMG_20170209_062119 by richchie, on Flickr IMG_20170209_062206 by richchie, on Flickr IMG_20170209_062304 by richchie, on Flickr IMG_20170209_062331 by richchie, on Flickr IMG_20170209_062353 by richchie, on Flickr IMG_20170209_062515 by richchie, on Flickr IMG_20170209_062748 by richchie, on Flickr IMG_20170209_063036 by richchie, on Flickr IMG_20170209_063112 by richchie, on Flickr IMG_20170209_063121 by richchie, on Flickr IMG_20170209_063204 by richchie, on Flickr IMG_20170209_063246 by richchie, on Flickr IMG_20170209_063259 by richchie, on Flickr

awesome! if lego make this as a set i will for sure buy it. love asterix and obelix comics and this lego creation looks like the original comics, Great job

As I know, nobody has the quality like that shop where I bought the gondori soldiers. The price is high but If you want them for long time rather buy them in that shop because I Have one soldier from another shop, the price was lower but after some days the sticker came down.. these guy that I have from this shop are like original lego, you can play with them and nothing hapends, still like new...

there is always chance..do not forget that I have also 21 rohan riders that can help :-)

thanks, as I wrote.. I must finish the road (terain) and heads for gondor soldiers... I bought them in this shop, the quality is awesome, really recommend http://www.bricklink.com/store/home.page?p=Friend.bricks#/shop?o={"showHomeItems":1}
