my current 'project' and a previous little experiment which turned out pretty good
any ideas of what i can put in the middle of that? i was thinking of making some sort of ruined statue, but im not sure if it would look right

The hill has a very good shape. I like the way you detailed the rocks. Your ground work is very well done. Did you think about some wild flowers? Quote: i was thinking of making some sort of ruined statue, but im not sure if it would look right
Make it anyway, just don't glue it down. If it does not look right you can use it some where else. keep them coming

hmm, wild flowers? i wanted to make that sort of thing on my little stonehenge thingy, to give it that kinda fairy/magic place kinda look, but i still cant figure out how to do that im the kinda guy who tries to find things out himself but it really doesnt help me at all  So can i buy them kinda flowers or can i make them somehow? Its pretty neewbie question but im learning a lot of things that way

This is a US link. I am sure you can find something local. This link has lots of good photos of all kinds of products. http://www.sceneryexpress.com/products.asp?dept=1038 Flowers can be made from fine colored foam flocking. http://www.sceneryexpress.com/products.asp?dept=1252 All you would need to do is add the color to the vines on the rocks. I hope this gives you some ideas. |

the head would be cool, Why don't you try to carve a face into the rock side. If it does not turn out as well as you like say an orc did it. |

Looking very good Polar, some good work there & I look forward to seeing more from you. Your Stone Henge has worked out very well, but I'm a bit stuck for what other idea's you could have on top of the small hill. Some nice models I saw on there too
Keep it up Drum P.S. For flowers an idea could be small pins (the ones with heads) then you use the 'green stuff' to make the petals.. It's a cheaper way, but buying will probably look better. But hey, it's worth a try I would say |

milliput could also work.. it comes in larger packets so you get more - for cheaper at the same time 
Very nice so far, good outline. I look forward to seeing the rest

But hey, it's worth a try I would say If you have more time than money you can make the foam flowers too. Take a piece of the foam packing material from a miniature package and spray paint it yellow, red, white or lavender. Then chop it into fine pieces. You can use a razor blade, meat clever, meat grinder or food processor to chop foam. A foam pillow will make a lot of flocking material. Spray it green and don't chop it as fine for trees and bushes. You can chop up sponges and furnaces filters too. Quote: buying will probably look better
No, it will just be faster. The statue head looks good so far. |

The pics work  It's much Wip now but the shape looks good although the windows don't look very lotr most lotr windows are half round. But looks great. |

Looks good so far, nothing like having several projects going at once eh? *hint hint* Keep working on it, would be good to see more pictures soon. (maybe finished it before Black Ops comes out, otherwise it'll never be done. lol) Drum

so thats the building i've mentioned earlier, finished it ages ago but i kept forgetting to upload the pics, i know this isn't a lotr type building but i thought putting it in my WiP seemed like a decent idea...

You make a LOTR building basically the same way. It looks good! |

ha! yeah i guess, just use less metal type objects and make more round windows like hero of gondor nicely pointed out
