When I was 12 and playing Lord of the Rings SBG when it first launched, I dreamed of having the resources to be able to make things like this. At 29, I'm now pondering whether I should indulge that ambition. You're so talented with your modelling that it is inspiring to see!

@Zorpazorp 6 лет назад

Do it man!!! You won't regret it! I've been playing since launch in '01 too and I've loved every minute :D

@grimlock5990 2 года назад

Very cool video. The thing that stops me from bigger builds like this is storage space. I enjoy seeing this type of build come together. Building the stonework into the terrain gives it such a naturally aged and realistic feel.

Overall, excellent work on this. Inspiring. I found also that using those bark chunks on the sides of the cliffs gives a really realistic rock face, and avoids the ridgy hot-wire cutter patterns (that don't look terrible, but still not super realistic). Great stuff, kudos.

Zorpazorp your channel has got me back into LOTR - I had a huge collection back in 2003 when the series was initially released by GW but never played and eventually moved onto video games and other interests so sold my collection (nnnnnoooooooooo😱) however I got back into 40k in 2016 and I am fortunate enough to play at Warhammer World most weeks. I keep seeing the new Hobbit releases etc but they never really inspired me to start a collection again. I came across your battle reports and your superb terrain and thought - yes that is how LOTR is meant to be played so have begun looking into getting back into the game. This time I plan to only get the minis for a particular scenario, build and paint and play before moving onto buying more, however I am such a LOTR fanboy I will most likely start to panic buy everything off of eBay 😂 keep up the great work - I watch your vids as I paint and they are truly inspirational 😁👍🏻

@Roman-ey3yi 6 лет назад

Great job, maybe the structure could have had hints of moss just to make it feel like it interweaves with the green bushes but overall really good. My question is how do you store it? All these terrain pieces must occupy some serious shelving space

@Deathreaper782 4 года назад

Your Channel is Epic. I was trying to grab the same molds you spoke of. By the way I think I heard #65 twice but as of today Hirst Arts mold #40 Basic Block, #60 Prison Tower, and #65 is Ruined Tower. I recently started my own modular terrain build inspired by you and others. I had no Idea how time intensive the terrain building is when you include drying times, planning, etc...Maybe you could let us in on aprox how long it takes to build some of these terrain projects so we know how to budget our time? Thanks and I really enjoy your work, keep it up!

@tomusannonymous 3 года назад

Years ago I made the mistake of using plaster of paris to make a castle. The blocks were brittle and I was trying to glue them with PVA which wouldnt stick them together properly, you could just pull them apart cuz the plaster would break away from the glue. It was heavy and brittle, not a good combo. I never finished it lol.

@Zorpazorp 3 года назад

Yeah it's not a good idea for castle bricks haha

@richbuilds_com 6 лет назад

Great finish and an iconic looking piece. Personally, I'm not a fan of hirsts arts because it's used *everywhere* and it just jumps out at me - spoiling the immersion. Hirst arts build tend to look a bit samey too (not bad, just samey). Can't fault the product though - simple to use and the pieces are very well thought out.

@Zorpazorp 6 лет назад

Richard Allsebrook thanks man :D I totally get where you're coming from. When I do my big Fornost board, I'm going to spend a lot of time developing the designs and mixing up sets to get as much variation and depth as possible. Should be a really fun challenge :D

@garrettspringsted1313 5 лет назад

For your casting are you using Hydrastone cement? If I decide to give this a whirl I want to make sure I am getting the right stuff.

@Zorpazorp 5 лет назад

It's a casting plaster called hydrosphere or hydrocal. Essentially just really high strength plaster :)

I didn't understand what you meant when you said your wash would've weakened the water-based glue. What kind of wash do you make that's harmful in that way? Oil paints or something?

@Zorpazorp 6 лет назад

Triphos PVA is water soluble, so if I washed it in diluted acrylic painted (which is diluted with water) then it could have weakened the glue :)
