Okay, lrts get the trivial cr@p out of the way...its basically the Hirst Arts Ruined Tower, but modified...

But what a modification :D
The article is well written with excellent quality Step-By-Step images, a fantastic addition to the article library...end result with the hill and all...simply superb !

Excellent article and a finished piece that has the vernacular quality of Middle-earth about it. Very playable too.

This is a classic treatise on how to use Hirst Arts blocks to superb effect. Prince of Plaster indeed - an excellent nickname!

Great job on another top article. The ruin looks fantastic and is complimented by your hill.

Again, this article proves that with a bit of imagination and only one single Hirst Arts mould and enough patience to cast all the needed blocks you can do perfectly identifiable elements of Middle-earth.

Great work and (another!) excelent article! 8)

Thanks all for the kind words 8) .

This board was made quite a while ago (before I got 10 moulds myself) hence buying the blocks off the internet. I Don't own this piece anymore (grumbles about needing more storage space) but I'll hunt around and see if I've got any other close-up photos to post here.

As to my wife's hair, she gave me the funniest looks when I offered to clean up after her haircut (her friend is a hairdresser and comes around to do Bec's hair)! I don't usually clean up anything :roll: .
That one harvest has done all my terrain so far and there's still heaps more left.

I'll try and get my Erebor article up soon (Christmas is a very busy time around here).

Prince of Plaster... cool! :wink:
