Hi all! I have been lurking around this wonderful forum for quite a long time :-D and i have to say that (having a pretty big collection of LOTR armies myself) i find this whole site simply wonderful.

Now back to my posts'title: some years ago i managed to borrow a certain book/ white dwarf (i'll explain later why this is the key point in the problem) from a friend, in which there were all the images, measures and photos of how to build Minas Tirith walls (looking EXACTLY like the ones that used to be sold). I actually managed to build it, but than i gave the book back and now, years later, i cannot really recall which book it was.....

So here lies the heart of the problem; the only thing i know for sure is that the instructions on how to build the TOWERS was on page 45 in the italian version of this... white dwarf? Sourcebook?), because that's the only scanned page that i have kept. Would any of you kind and experienced guys happen to know in which scenery book/sourcebook/white dwarf these informations were? I have already (unsuccessfully) checked the following:
-The return of the King
-Siege of Gondor
-Gondor in Flames
If it were to help, i could also post the scanned page that i have kept in my old computer, tell me if it is necessary!
I am about to give up guys, please help me.... i'm posting here a photo of what the finished walls look like: Image

The Last Alliance has an index of White Dwarf articles http://www.thelastalliance.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=8189 - try that. I'll look later to see if it is in the Best of White Dwarf for Return of the King.

You're using a terrible material try this:

I would use the material that they suggest in the book. Foam board is very easy to find and in varying thicknesses. It will be far more durable than the Styrofoam that you've used. Good luck on building the White City! 8)

Thank you all guys for your time and support! I have found out that i had the book on my shelves :-D i had just forgotten about it! Regarding the material, i absolutely agree that the one i've used was horrible, but i was 12 years old and building 4 towers, the gate and 2 wall sections took me months as i was completely unexperienced... i'll be working on a brand new one as soon as possible!
