How to Make: Castle Towers! ~ Minas Tirith Walls Guide and Templates!

[@GoobertownHobbies]

Oh yeah, that meter of wall is looking great!

[@Zorpazorp]

Only four or five to go. Of the outer wall. Send help.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Looks fantastic! it's nice seeing another Aussie terrain builder because I recognize the materials you're using 😉 Keep up the hard work, it's certainly paying off!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

@@Zorpazorp lol thanks mate 😃 I can hardly believe so many people subscribed to a channel about model building! It's such a great hobby though and you are only limited by your imagination. I actually used to paint warhammer as a kid, I loved the medieval fantasy aspect but mostly enjoyed making little forts and ruins out or random bits of cardboard and egg cartons... Never really played the game properly though!

[@Zorpazorp]

It's fantastic man, you're trailblazing away for the hobby community. I couldn't agree more, there's no other hobby like it! Yeah that was what it was all about for me. Castles and towers from cardboard, then that TV show Better Homes and Gardens did a segment on making a railway and we made one as a family project. Then the Lord of the Rings movies came out and I had elves and orcs fighting all over it 😂 If you're ever up north hit me up man, would be fun to chat hobby over a coffee.

[@Spike21155]

Did you make a turturial how we van Build siege tower?

[@joshwhitfield3456]

I cannot wait for the final result. It will truly be a great battle for your time

[@Zorpazorp]

Me toooooo

[@corbynmorisette5316]

The coolest thing about this particular tower is that it is really a fortress by itself. You can just take this one piece and say "this is a fortress" and that would be enough.

[@Zorpazorp]

That's very true!!

[@5upfeelnopain243]

Mate - you are a master builder and your terrain is nothing short of outstanding. I love your content and it is keeping me going during lockdown here in the UK. Can’t wait to see you do Helms Deep 👏👍

[@Zorpazorp]

Thanks so much buddy, huge praise :) Helm's Deep is slated for 2021 :)

[@MrLuke1095]

This project is looking absolutely beautiful so far and I can't wait to see it all come together. My dad and I are setting up for a retaking of Moria campaign and this has inspired me to try and build Balin's Tomb for that. Cheers!

[@Zorpazorp]

That's such a great campaign, Inlove that setting. I've had a huge moroa build planned for ages but never got around to it

[@badtastebear]

Man, I love watching you do your thing! You have such a talent. Thank you for doing what you do and sharing your passion with us. It's really enjoyable to see this all come together :) Hopefully catch you on another live stream soon!

[@Zorpazorp]

THANKS Floey, glad you're enjoying it all :D see you there!

[@ajsimo2677]

Thanks again for the templates, mate!

[@Zorpazorp]

No problem!

[@francescogulisano2917]

This is going to be awesome to watch, once the whole fortress is done

[@Zorpazorp]

We won't build the entire city but we'll do a big portion of it, all in True Scale :)

[@btchris222]

Wow I can't believe how good they look! Very well done. I may have to have a go!

[@Zorpazorp]

Give it a shot my dude!!

[@BobbyMakepeace]

This takes me back 16 years ago making scenery for war hammer

[@Zorpazorp]

Glad you like them!

Thanks man :)

[@johneberts2918]

love your work its real great thanks

[@JaredLB1990]

It's coming along nicely! I can't wait to see how the entire thing looks when you've completed it. Are you planning on building things like siege towers, Grond, or anything else to go with the entire project?

[@Zorpazorp]

Sure am my dude!!!

Great project will you be doing the gate house?

[@Zorpazorp]

Sure am bro, I'll have another update early December :)

[@aaronstones482]

Absolutely awesome !!! Do you have a helms deep build ?!

[@Zorpazorp]

Not yet, hoping to do it in 2021 after Minas Tirith and Osgiliath:)

[@aaronstones482]

Zorpazorp I cannot wait !! I be sure to try and replicate what you build. (To a much lesser standard😂) Love the detail into both your builds and your mini’s.. and of course the videos ! Keep up the good work ! :)

Wonderful video as always, I was wondering what you do with the knifes you have changed. To get clean cuts I change my blades pretty often so I now have bunch of used blades

[@Zorpazorp]

They go in the bin hahah, it feels wierd but if they're not sharp sharp they're dead to me!

[@brakar0427]

Zorpazorp hahahah I respect that

[@joshwhitfield3456]

You do not know how much this helps me. However I need help with the gatehouse

[@Zorpazorp]

Gatehouse on the way eventually :)

[@happyboar1019]

Hello, you did a good work with this tower: details of the bricks are very cool 😎 But I have the feeling that is something ‘bizarre’ with this building ... missing a roof or something else I don’t know 🤔 Do you have a picture of this kind of building (inspired from a picture of Minas Tirith ?). Another point it is not a good place to put a trebuchet on the top, the walls are too high I thing . But anyway, you did a great job and thank you for this video 👍

[@Zorpazorp]

It's all just based off the Minas Tirith Design by Alan Lee and WETA :) Glad you liked the video!

[@Rzymek85]

sorry what type of foam is that? I have problems getting this in UK

[@Zorpazorp]

Extruded polystyrene:)

[@johnny2hats330]

Making Monsters I'm currently getting some for myself, in the UK there's a few companies that sell it as insulation for houses

[@GWhizz1717]

Johnny 2 hats where did you manage to get it from in the U.K.? The only ones I seem to be able to find are lined with foil or are marketed for model building (and cost 3x as much!)

[@Ipecac15]

Thanks and welcome!!

[@richardbeach3190]

that's crazy realistic after cover-19 settles down are you planning on doing another big batrep on this?

Sure are dude!!! Biiiiiiig batrep, with about 30 players

Did you make a Video how we build siege tower?

[@Zorpazorp]

Not yet :)

[@martinsivertsen7485]

Hype!

[@Zorpazorp]

Indeed!!!

[@bruceross4303]

How long did it take you to make this? What was your total cost? I'm not into making terrain as I'd rather buy it, but if it's a good savings chunk, I'd consider giving this a shot. Nice work!!

[@Zorpazorp]

The tower and those four lengths of walls was probabsly 6-8 days work, cost maybe $50 worth of foam and paint :)

[@bruceross4303]

@@Zorpazorp DAMNIT...why couldn't you have lied and said it took months and you had to take out a second mortgage to pay for the materials??....now I have to try this. :)

[@Zorpazorp]

Oh yeah I never do that do I? I'll be sure to mention it next time thanks mate :)

[@andreaxcatalina]

what is the name of the type of foam you are using? and where can I buy it online??

[@Zorpazorp]

It's extruded polystyrene, I get it from my hardware store in the insulation section.

[@hollie5558]

for your 8 feet wall (shown later) how many towers did you make? I'm making my hardware shopping list

[@Zorpazorp]

That one just has the one tower, they're actually pretty far apart in the build and I'm making it screen accurate but if you're just making 8 ft of wall I'd do at least two if not 3 or 4 it makes the gameplay so much more interesting

[@jamesberry9079]

Would you ever think about making erebor from the hobbit? Even if it was just the entrance.

[@Zorpazorp]

One of my mates is already building it and it will be featured on the channel later in the year :D

[@sbggamer3310]

How is the Minas Tirith build coming on so far

[@Zorpazorp]

Going well, we've got some biiig videos soming out in around a month or so, focussing on the buildings next! Then onto the gatehouse!

[@rklammer]

Did you film this in March or is your calander suffering from the lockdown times too? hahaha. Great work, looks epic, might have to fly to Austrailia to see it in person one day XD
