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 :roll:

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?

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
:yay:

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 :roll:

im the kinda guy who tries to find things out himself but it really doesnt help me at all :oops:

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.

Flowers can be made from fine colored foam flocking.

All you would need to do is add the color to the vines on the rocks.
I hope this gives you some ideas.

really cool, thx! im gonna try and use something like that next time

polarbird2 · **Posted:** Mon Jul 12, 2010 11:36 pm

how about puting something like this in the middle of the hill? maybe slightly smaller and a different style? i really cant decide!

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.

An Orc did it, lol :-D

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

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

polarbird2 · **Posted:** Tue Jul 13, 2010 11:25 am

ill be sure to try that with the pins although im not really good with green stuff, i just need some practice

and carving the head into the side is a great idea im gonna try that in my next little hill

polarbird2 · **Posted:** Tue Jul 13, 2010 2:53 pm

thats how far i got with the statue head, i decided to make The Pillars Of The Kings, well at least the head of one of them.

Step 1

Step 2

i know need to buy some green stuff and try to sculpt the face

well, green stuff is the only thing i can think of for that kinda thing

any ideas? anyone? :-D

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

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.

No, it will just be faster.

The statue head looks good so far.

heres my new project, ive already done a building very simmilar to this, ill post it up later (i cant be bothered now

)

(i hope the pics work) :oops:

hero of gondor · **Posted:** Wed Nov 03, 2010 4:58 pm

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.

polarbird2 · **Posted:** Wed Nov 03, 2010 5:40 pm

oh yes, i posted it in a wrong place :oops:

its meant to be a 40 kind of structure, but i thought i'd pu it on, to see if theres ANYTHING you dont like so i could consider it my next buildings

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)

polarbird2 · **Posted:** Wed Nov 24, 2010 4:51 pm

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... :oops:

Oldman Willow · **Posted:** Thu Nov 25, 2010 12:14 am

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

polarbird2 · **Posted:** Thu Nov 25, 2010 3:48 pm

ha! yeah i guess, just use less metal type objects

and make more round windows like hero of gondor nicely pointed out

hero of gondor · **Posted:** Thu Nov 25, 2010 4:28 pm

Looks very good and maybe I'm just good in pointing things out ?
