Thanks Doc, I'll take a look at bricklink. I DO have a Lego Store fairly nearby, but their Pick-A-Brick wall is pretty 'vanilla'; lots of super-common stuff, almost nothing 'esoteric'. I WILL be filling a couple of cups with a variety of Medium Stone Grey 1-by's...

I'm a renewed BlockHead in San Jose, California. My current BigBuild project is a modified Helm's Deep, pics to be posted as Milestones are reached. I need a little HELP, however: I'm hunting for rock-wall pieces, predominantly 'medium-' and 'dark-stone grey'. There are a few styles out there (measuring 2x6x10, 3x6x10, and 4x6x10 (deep x tall x wide)), but I can't put my fingers on them for a "Reasonable" per-brick price. Anyone who can point me in the right direction, please feel free to speak up...

I'm hoping that you (eurolock) still follow this thread... I'm planning to model my Helm's Deep build on yours (with a few changes, of course, and without all the interiors/caves), and I have a few questions: What did you use for the upper body and beard of the statue of Helm Hammerhand? It LOOKS LIKE you used 2 of the Helm's Deep sets to get the proper heights for the outer- and inner-keep, correct? What other sets did you cannibalize for pieces? I'm planning to use 2 Helm's Deep sets and 7-8 Uruk-Hai Army expansions to get more length on the outlier wall, and I'll have to order medium- and dark-stone bricks/plates/tiles by the pound for all the rock formations; did you happen to document your build (did you keep a parts-list or make "instructions")? Do you have any recommendations about which/how many bricks to order from Lego to make the innermost chamber of the keep? Hope to hear from you soon! -Durin IV
