Plans are taken from Medieval Mason excellent Prancing Pony Video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6qxqYxvad-Jn7c&t LED lights available at: amzn.to/3CCJdza

I really like the lighting set up.

[@TheBattlinBarrowGaming]

Thank you, it is simple yet effective.

[@garyguy4826]

Awesome Build, BB. Thank you

[@TheBattlinBarrowGaming]

Thank you!

[@countryfriedminis]

Fantastic build and a classic Battlin Barrow feel. Also cat tax 😸

[@TheBattlinBarrowGaming]

Haha this video had a fox, cat and a squirrel in.

[@mykediemart]

It was nice of your cat to assist you. also my reservation is under Mr Underhill. Awesome build

[@TheBattlinBarrowGaming]

Haha Thanks, yeah my cat loves getting involved :D

[@Cuthbo]

Great build! I love that you build these things in a way that doesnt require a lot of expensive, cumbersome equipment. I feel like some of the American channels take for granted that everyone has a lot of space - here in Britain we live in houses about the same size as this Prancing Pony build 😂

[@TheBattlinBarrowGaming]

Thank you! Yes I try to make my videos accessible for everyone in terms of cost and availability of materials. And yes, haha, space, or lack of it is very important. I am rapidily running out of storage room so have to take that into account in these builds too.

[@CindyGaut]

I really like the lighting setup.

Thanks for sharing this with us.

My pleasure

Wow this is bloody amazing!

[@TheBattlinBarrowGaming]

Cheers. I was well pleased with it

[@bradcraig6676]

Great build

[@TheBattlinBarrowGaming]

Thank you.

[@Mozzytm]

Honestly thought you'd forgot again (or used the wrong critter) but nope, cheekly sat behind the right hand side 😂

[@TheBattlinBarrowGaming]

Haha the mirkwiod squirrel was there to throw people off of the scent

[@Jesperc888]

That's amazing!

[@TheBattlinBarrowGaming]

Thanks!

[@nordicmaelstrom4714]

Nice work Kev! Id like to someday create my own version of the Prancing Pony. Perhaps next you will build the Shire? You can inform Mr. Underhill that I shall stand him and his companions to a round of the finest ale in these parts!

[@TheBattlinBarrowGaming]

Thanks! I have a load of Shire videos already! But hey ho to the bottle I go, you can never have too many Shire based videos :D

[@nordicmaelstrom4714]

@@TheBattlinBarrowGaming Have you built the Green Dragon? If not perhaps you should go from one famous tavern/inn to another famous tavern! Drinks are on Father Aaron as is the food! :D

[@TheBattlinBarrowGaming]

@nordicmaelstrom4714 I did d once build it, I still have it but that is in a really bad sorry state, so perhaps a rebuild of that?

[@nordicmaelstrom4714]

@@TheBattlinBarrowGaming I vote for that! To the Green Dragon and Mr. Baggins is buying!

[@chrisstokoe3169]

H lad this looks great but I need to rescue the old one and repurpose coz it looked great also can I just say thanx u probably don't remember but u sent me a whq manor tile set some time ago just wanted to say thanx for that recently play the haunted manor was great so thanx again

[@TheBattlinBarrowGaming]

Yeah I think in the new year I will revamp it. And I do remember! Whq is making a return in the new year. I am going to try to do a narrative campaign type of thing

[@chrisstokoe3169]

@TheBattlinBarrowGaming that sounds great love out like that

[@Man-At-Arms46]

Just the best! But who is it amongst the staff that keeps leaving scraps outside the back door? Don't they know it attracts vermin and pesky foxes?

[@TheBattlinBarrowGaming]

Thank you! It's the Nob, Barliman keeps telling him not too but he keeps on doing it and now it's attracted squirrels and foxes

[@GameyDave]

Ace well done. I am really desperate to see some models next to it for scale though!

[@TheBattlinBarrowGaming]

That will be happening next video when I do the interior and add some extra details

[@jamie69murphy]

Great build! Looks really cool. I feel like the scale of the roof tiles is a bit off though. If they were slightly smaller (which I know is more tedious work), the quality of the whole build would be lifted up. So much nice detail in everything else, seems a bit of a shame.

[@TheBattlinBarrowGaming]

Yeah that's a trade off when it comes to this kind of thing. Working full time, family, friends etc.. Means I have to make trade offs such as this as on the whole I don't have much spare time for hobbying

[@jamie69murphy]

@ I totally get that. It still looks great. 👍

[@TheBattlinBarrowGaming]

@jamie69murphy thanks. I would love a laser cutter, could you imagine how quick and easy tiles would be using one? You could get some nice small shingles!

[@AzraelThanatos]

While I like the design, I kind of prefer the look of the Prancing Pony from Lord of the Rings Online to the movies. It's a more interesting design and I have way to many memories defending it in game during the Bree stuff.

[@TheBattlinBarrowGaming]

I have to admit, the movie design is not my favourite. I do like it dont get me wrong but I have seen better designs for the pony. Cubicle 7 Adventures in Middle Earth and a picture by Ted Nasmith for instance. Perhaps I should make another version one day based on that kind of look?

[@AzraelThanatos]

@@TheBattlinBarrowGaming One of the main reasons I like the LotRO version is that it isn't just a big brick in the setup, a passthrough to the back with stables adds a lot to it.

[@chrisstokoe3169]

Squirrel

[@TheBattlinBarrowGaming]

You spotted him. All the way from Mirkwood

[@chrisstokoe3169]

I just cheekily popped in there lol
