The BIGGEST Terrain project in YouTube History! - Building Minas Tirith from LOTR

[@Boylei]

Really enjoyed this one! One of my first attempts at terrain building was a wall section and some towers for my GW Gondorians and their trebuchet. This brought back some fond memories.

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Very cool. The trebuchet is such a nice model. That sounds like a good time

[@OFFICIALcaleblyons]

I love this^

[@fromthedumpstertothegrave3689]

The lotr game sucked for big battles which was a real shame because they had so many great minis and it was so fun to build terrain for. Made a big section of wall for my rohirrim to defend :D game was great for hero vs small army of baddies (or vice versa though)

[@BenjisHobbies]

Dude, your build is EPIC and it’s a privilege to have my tiny building sat next to yours! I’ve picked up loads of tips from your video for when I inevitable work on more foam buildings.

[@Zorpazorp]

Hey Eric, nice to see you here.

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Awesome build Eric. Absolutely nailed it out of the park. You guys all did fantastic work and I hope to catch u guys on the next one!

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Thanks Neil! Theodin doesn’t show up until the second film anyways right? 🧙‍♂️would love to see your take on some of this type of stuff

[@Zorpazorp]

Dude I love you. Your beast is straight up amazing and I'm so stoked to have roped you into my descent into madness. Thank you so much

[@TheDex2000]

You sure you ment Benji in this comment? :D

[@Lucassrizzo]

Ah yes. Benji's Hobby Workshop. Best channel on the Tubez! :P

[@Lucassrizzo]

'Benji' is short for 'Eric' in Australia stemming from roots in our colonial history.

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

I'm still watching the rest of them but Benjis is pretty cool

[@HipposHobbyHours]

Eric's is really nice too, I think he is my favorite

[@iamgrays]

I really think that this came out superbly. Perfectly themed for Minas Tirith with all those little architectural details and the painting is spot on. One of your best without a doubt and for me personally the stand out building in this section Lachlan is building.

[@Berserkerworks]

Awesome, you captured the look of the film perfectly.

[@deanwilliams5466]

Literally taken a back from your craft man ship. Even the simplistic of techniques such as your stone pressing, creates such a visually aesthetic effect.

[@ronantillman4687]

I absolutely love your contribution to the Minas Tirith Megabuild

[@RaqrexArt]

ERIC THIS TURNED OUT SOOOO AMAZING! Seriously incredible! I love how we both ended up with clay doors but went about it so differently. I always learn so much from watching your videos 👏 👏 👏 Thanks for the inspiration!

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Thanks Raquel! It was a fun collab!

[@theharrower]

Knocked it out of the park with this one. By far my favorite build of the bunch.

[@dacedebeer2697]

John Howe and Alan Lee are my two favourite artists to ever paint the world of Middle Earth. You started with good references.

[@CampaignTerrain]

Stupendous build. Just really, really nice. So glad you, and it, got to be a part of this collab. As for this chunk, my fav things are your "sticky outy" windows, and the stains and grime. Great job, Eric! (6 dislikes!? What the actual fuuuuu...!?)

[@thomascharters7516]

Hahaha! "Yes, I wish that!" Cracked me up! Great choice bud

[@kirkgeier417]

Love the different hallways and arches that make models looks so cool and integrated with the scenery

[@HacksawsHobbyBunker]

Incredible. Even if one were not already familiar with the LOTR you did a fantastic job of conveying the what and why. You checked all the boxes for techniques as well. Fine work all around.

[@TabletopLenny]

Nice dude! Really like to follow the project! Cheers

[@MrClockworkable]

Honestly, I think this might be my favourite video you've done. It feels like a lot more thought, time and effort when into this project compared to others to create not just a playable wargaming space, but also something that felt interesting and unique, yet grounded. I hope to see something like this for 40k, Necromunda or DnD in the future!

[@euansmith3699]

You've really knocked this one right out of the Shire.

[@Marc-ze9me]

I have to say, my favourite piece revealed by Zorp! Really impressive work, incredibly detailed and realistic…representing perfectly what we see in the movie.

[@MrChummyChuck]

This was my favorite build of all the collaborators

[@johannwickerman3555]

I am in AWE at what you've done here! It makes me want to dive right in and get started making my own D&D terrain, but I know I've got a lot of learning to do before I can do something as cool as this. Still, you've inspired me greatly, and I look very much forward to what you make in the future!

[@dacedebeer2697]

Eric is amazing, but if you're still starting I suggest you look at the Terrain Tutor. He's got lots of videos on the basic materials and techniques to start creating terrain

[@johannwickerman3555]

@@dacedebeer2697 Hey, thanks for the advice! I wouldn't have even known where to start, so I'll be sure to look into him and see where that takes me.

[@MrSupertrooper1]

What a fantastic project that warms this cold heart. It seems the strength of men is not yet exhausted.

[@Biggles369]

An impressive build and I have learnt a few tricks which is even better. Something like this is way more satisfying than just printing it.

[@UnkleKlumsy1353]

What an awesome collab. It still snags my brain to realise the movies and the tabletop game are from around 20 years ago now ... I still remember reading in White Dwarf an article where they made Helms deep and fought a game on it

[@idbrown937]

I don't know how many times I've watched this video. Your building is definitely my favorite from this collaboration! Feels like you really looked at the source material and paid respect to it. Great Job!

[@cityonahillterrain]

This was BY FAR the best contribution.

[@scottsarcanecraft379]

LOTR is my fav as well. I have been tossing around building this city. Such an amazing build! This video has provided me with new techniques to add to my tool box. Thank you for a great and epic video!!

[@rat-matt-miniatures8705]

If I could like this multiple times, I would. Fantastic build, absolutely wonderful.

[@cavemanbum]

Just watched Zorpasorp's video of the unboxing of buildings sent to him, and hands down, yours is the absolute best of them!

[@ConjuredCraft]

Lego windows look amazing at scale. Great build full of useful tips!

[@TomJones0065]

TOTALLY EPIC! You Do some AMAZING WORK! SAVED This one to my FAVS!!

[@Zorpazorp]

I'm just here to steal a few shots for the next video and I ended up watching the whole video again haha, that intro has me in stitches every time 😂

[@BPCustomCreations]

Beautiful work 👍 the weathering steps really brought it into the world of Minas Tirith!

[@bryanmccrary139]

Attention to detail, astounding; and design theory from the films, perfectly replicated. Truly a build of surpassing excellence.

[@soonerwest]

Amazing how you can visualize this and then bring it to life. Everything about is so good and really enjoyed watching this.

[@Sahvi]

This is next level! The amount of patience you have is insane... Huge respect :D

[@BraveLittlePixel]

I imagine the shipping stunted some of the detail you could add, but some additions could be: *Creeping vines and growing moss on the walls. *Darkened stone from years of coal and smog burning that darks the lower layers. *Repaired/replaced brick work, maybe someone had a door moved, or a window filled in, maybe a lower wall crumbled. I couldn't help but feel it still wasn't lived in or green enough, and I know this will come through later with the flooring and items like barrels, wheelbarrows, plants, signs and benches etc. Looks great, really makes me want to grab some foam, get some of that casting putty and make a castle myself.

[@Lucassrizzo]

Absolutely loving the gigantically epic & mega ambitious projects! It's a great change of pace from the small scale weekly projects common on the KZbinz. Especially hyped for this one as a LoTR tragic. Wooooo!

[@OkayHobbyTime]

This turned out really great. Love the weathering at the end.

[@martinthewarrior5016]

The effort put in by everyone was impressive, but imo this is by far the best building! Amazing work as always eric

[@hewlett-packardlovecraft2297]

Stunning piece. For some reason, it reminded me of the Eldar cityscape you did a while back. Not aesthetically, of course- but it did remind me of that piece, all the same. Probably the size and color pallet. Fixin' to go check out the playlist for the rest of the build, so thanks for linking that for us. Nice little distraction video, too- I was figuring your next upload would be the next part of the titan. Not a complaint, mind you; again, that was some mighty fine looking terrain you made there. Have a good one, and enjoy your coming weekend.

[@aequanimus63247]

This is some of your best work Eric. Bravo!

[@jaytwokay3265]

Loving the boom of LotR content on KZbin lately. With Nerd of the Rings and this huge project, LotR is coming back into the spotlight.

[@eaviererday]

This is absolutely wonderful. Could watch this for hours!

[@BooshojoSenshi]

Wow, this turned out incredible. The structure and details are awesome. The paint work just brings it to life! So cool.

[@ScatteredTerrain]

I love the level of detail and dedication to honoring the source material that you put into this! Absolutely marvelous!!

[@BionicPerry1970]

Wow. Amazing build as usual. You make it look so effortless. I love how you just work your way through a build. Lovely stuff! I will check out the other works as well, and look forward to seeing the entire massive board now!

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Thanks Perry!

[@larrymanns364]

This is my favorite of the buildings I have seen so far

[@Nigelius]

Seriously cool stuff! The weathering really sells it.

[@Mindral]

An imperator Titan and now Minas Tirith??? You are crazy!!! Thanks for share with us this awsome projects.

[@ZaneMorganCrafts]

Very very cool, Eric. Really likes the trebuchet on top of the tower.

[@matthewmorgan1779]

You really nailed the Minas Tirith look, great stuff

[@Nat1videos]

Brilliant video! That building turned out so well, perfect Minis Tirith vibes!

[@BeardClipper]

Such an AWESOME result mate; great! I had so much fun being involved with this collaboration as well and also hope to get a game on that epic table Lachie is making :) Cheers!

[@usachev2010]

This is amazing. Thanks to your channel, I now have in my house a big heavy box of terrain materials.

[@MisterTroglodyte]

Lol perfect Denethor clip for a perfect Minas Tirith build!

[@arkenhemnall6224]

Beautiful work Eric, look spot on and makes me think I really need a hot wire cutter too. So good, thanks for posting!

[@gogohero1]

This is amazing man. I have to commend you for your ability to do things like this, it is truly awe inspiring

[@症不眠]

Absolutely incredible. Straight out of the movie. Stunning

[@apacheandy]

Lovely work as always Eric, the end result looks superb.

[@gallachermatt]

By far your best piece yet. Amazing job!

[@KnightsOfDice]

You've done an amazing job with this model. I love it's shape and profile. It looks awesome and incredibly playable!

[@VMinoda]

duuude the attention to detail... Looks amazing!

[@optimusWII]

Man, this build is insane. Great work Eric

[@DenePaintsThings]

Great build Eric - it's awesome seeing you guys come together to build something so epic!

[@JarlDM]

Warms my heart to see so many of my youtube faves working together to create something Middle Earth related! This looks awesome dude, spectacular work!

[@angelisabroad]

So beautiful and detailed. Well done, sir!

[@ebert42]

Amazing. The lego windows are brilliant.

[@qstionevrythng]

The thought and effort put into this incredible. I was impressed when I saw it on lockeyes video and now doubly so

[@C0m3TSw1tch]

This is my favourite build you've done so far. Absolutely phenomenal!

[@mylesh1361]

You have truly honed your skills! I thoroughly enjoyed this video as I do all of your videos. Very inspiring, thank you!

[@Ennio444]

This is one of your best pieces yet. Outstanding!

[@LylaMev]

This looks amazing!

[@dekai7992]

Epic. This may be your best work to date. Incredibly well done!

[@Khether0001]

Really *AMAZING* work! Congratulations!!!

[@alrethianscraftsbattles]

That was an awesome video man. The time it must have cost, loads of respect to you and your channel. Fantastic build 👍.

[@fredrikvanlienden6749]

Gotta say your skill at making faux-masonry have really improved!

[@Fredster9984]

You ran into that with such confidence and seamless execution. Being a new DAD really charges up that enthusiasm (or makes it so you do it as efficiently as possible between feedings)...LOL

[@hellmutmatheus2626]

Hey Eric just passing by to say the you are one of my favorite channels on youtube (not only in the terrain niche). Wish you all the best for you and your newborn. Salutes from Brazil.

[@BenTheTiger131]

This is going to be a Masterpiece when it’s finally finished

[@sigurdbjohansson]

Looking real good there, Mr. Workshop!

[@eBiCrafter]

your work always inspiring me.... beautiful work, Thank you

[@axelharig9776]

Wow, this is your best work so far.

[@alexandercain8904]

He had one door, but that wasn't enough. He needed... MORDOR!!

[@djvertical]

The build is absolute fire, but that paint job is magnificent! Amazing! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@techadeptcrafts]

Extremely cool build. Architecturally very interesting. Great work.

[@MisfitHobbies]

I think I just spat out my coffee at the Belethor cutaway. Loved the insights in this video Eric, the building looks amazing!

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Love a good Denethor clip lol

[@RichardHaywardMelbourne]

Your dedication and creativity applied to this project achieved a really amazing result. Maybe without the reason to do it, the project would never have happened!

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Thanks Richard!!

[@Leviticushateford]

Amazing job on this! Hands down on of the best !

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

That came out great!

[@TheSonOfRyan]

I had no idea you liked mini projects!

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

@@TheSonOfRyan oh yeah, I build a lot of miniatures for the backgrounds of the cutaway jokes in my prop tutorials, but that's the thing, they only look good in the background so I'm hoping to pick up some weathering techniques from people who've been doing it longer. The stone texturing Eric used was ingenious!

[@IxAMxBUTLER]

This build looks sick, hopefully you will be doing more Lotr builds in the future, as I recently found in the attic all my old minis from when I was a kid. It would be fun to have themed battle fields

[@GloriousGrunt]

Just came from ZZ's video to say WOW great job man! :) Also I totally agree with your take on the film, I was similarly blown away and still hold it as one of the best films (or trilogy) of all time

[@stuartriddell2461]

Outstanding! No other words required.

[@emilienmoussie809]

Amazing work, everything is detailed but playable. Nice work !

[@stacychapman2884]

Brilliant. It looks fantastic. 👏👏👏👏

[@DSlyde]

Hello from the Zorpzorp community!

[@nordicson2835]

This was amazing , thank you , it is like a back of your mind wish that you dare not share, but are amazed to see it happen Thank you again

[@louisgirard832]

Wow Eric! That piece is awesome!

[@rosascreativeworks5403]

Wow, I mean Wow! Some cool stuff. Love the Easy mold, that looks cool, I'm gonna have to try that. 😍

[@davidebasso1102]

KZbin guided me here after Zorpazorp video. Amazing job!
