A huuuuuuge thank you to Andy, Jamie, Rob, Jay and Ray from GW and the Middle Earth team for hooking us up with the kits so early, and a SPECIAL shoutout to John, Jacques, Ryan and Sam for the insane de-sprueing efforts! Who is excited to see this badboy covered in resin???

[@smoketinytom]

Can't wait for you to convert this into some HH board in the future... Breachers to cross the Breach!

[@veritech4884]

Congrats on 100k subs!

[@nathanmonster0837]

The boards and projects you make are epic but how do u fund them?

[@G0lia7h_at]

Now I wanna see Zorpazorp and Play On Tabletop meet together with their Osgiliath parts and combine it to ONE HUGE OSGILIATH and have a massive 2v2/3v3 on it

[@TexashasAIDS]

That would be amazing!

[@PlayOnTabletop]

That would be amazing!

[@coneman844]

That would be amazing!

[@Kodaiva]

That would be amazing!

[@jaytee3893]

How does this just keep getting better and better?? Although a little worried all those tall straight buildings are starting to look a little too modern but can't wait to see how it ends up. Also fave character is Faramir and with that new model with that dynamic pose he'd look ace running towards a host of orcs 😎

[@michaelkolb5724]

The modern look is my thought as well. I don't remember seeing such high buildings in the movies (especially just straight up walls without balconies or something like that). Nevertheless I'm excited to see the end result.

[@joshebarry]

Kind of agree. I think a bunch of arches and columns could help it inhabit middle earth a bit more. Those straight unsupported walkway sections especially are begging for some carved arch stone work, they look a bit 40k at the moment. But otherwise, its phenomenally cool!

[@d-bro-sector36]

Honestly it instantly reminded me of Cities of Death and those weren't great kits... but we'll see.

[@brie.cheese_x]

We need more Éowyn dioramas tbh. Maybe one of her contemplating her decision to join the Rohirrim host? Perhaps sitting down in Meduseld, holding and gazing at a helmet or something 🤔

[@patriksykora2172]

I think a Bill the pony diorama of his journey back to rivendel would be incredibly cool!

[@caracal429]

Character Diorama: Boromir fighting the Uruk Hai at Amon Hen, Lurtz drawing his bow. The extended cuts of the movies really revealed to me exactly how great Shaun Bean characterised the most relatable member of the Fellowship. Was he flawed? Yes. Was he the one who fell for the temptation? Yes. But Boromir is an absolute hero, and he deserves more recognition.

[@idontwanttopickone]

And after you've finished playing LoTRs on it you can use it for a Battle of Stalingrad game. 😅😅 Without any paint, round domes and large arches, that building looks so much like a bombed-out soviet concrete apartment block. I can't wait to see it all painted, I hope that'll make it look less like a concrete block. I think I would add an arch under any raised walkways to make them look less like Necromunda gangways and more like the films - stone needs some support.

[@matthiassmith3861]

Farmair ambushing the Oliphants and the Harad while Sam and Frodo look on. I remember watching that as a child and being blown away! And with the new models for him and his captains… would be an amazing diorama piece

[@cameronmacleod5583]

“The board is set, the pieces are moving. We come to it at last, the great battle of our time."

[@richardmacpherson7647]

I'd love to see boromir with the flag aloft at the highest building on this board ... "Brake Open The Ale These Men Are Thirsty!!"

[@robinclarke4129]

Boromir as Shawn bean is cool also his death scene in the forest as he gets peppered with arrows protecting the fellowship would make a amazing diorama

[@gijsvandeneynde1264]

Would love to see a diorama of Gandalf and the balrog but on Durin's tower instead of the bridge, I think the contrast with the red flame and the white snow would be awesome!

[@RedRam_Menhtrol]

That would be freaking amazing. 😄👍

[@schneiderdark9132]

Did anyone noticed that due to how exited zorp is, he glued some walls upside down? XD That shows how exited he is with all the build!

[@rklammer]

Flipping awesome. I thought "oh great the 2nd and final part of Lachy's Osgiliath ruins kit board is up". End of the video "But we are only just over half way through.." 😲😲😲 Looking forward to see it all finished :)

[@rustedbeetle]

You can also build the walls from the buildings in the water that have fallen over in large slabs that are now part of the river bed. They will be mostly submerged in the resin, but can have structural details that jut out of the resin creating blocking paths for assault boats. I'm sure someone here is a 3D modeler and can make seam covers to print up. For the heroic dio, look no further than Samwise standing off against Shelob with the Phial of Galadriel glowing brightly.

[@liambuzby4367]

I have always thought that Gimli blowing the horn from the movie standing over helms deep before the charge out of the keep was one of the coolest sences and would look amazing as a dirama

[@MisterTroglodyte]

Diorama idea would be Frodo’s place at Crickhollow, when the ringwraiths arrive and fatty Bolger makes a run for it. Not present in the films, but a memorable scene from the books.

[@heleti0000]

Been following your Middle Earth series (builds and battle reports) and am blown away by the skills and enthusiasm for this particular project. The enthusiasm has rubbed off and I finally dug through my “Harry Potter” room (under the stairs) and re-discovered my LotR miniatures from around 2000. Did some repainting (sadly, age and crook eyesight haven’t improved my skills much) and am now introducing my daughter’s partner to Middle Earth wargaming on Sunday afternoons. Great fun on a VERY simple and limited terrain but hugely enjoyable (again). Thanks for such interesting videos and good luck with the move to NZ.

[@TheApeEscaper]

Merry and pippin escaping their captors would be a great diorama!

[@ccrooper88]

Definitely a shot of faz doing an impression of the charge of the light brigade, such an iconic moment

[@talosbob4760]

100k!!!!!!! Woooooo long over due for you buddy I’m so glad you’re finally getting the recognition you deserve!

[@DSlyde]

I really wanna see a video on integrating the plastic kits with hobby built scenery. Not just on the same board, or little bits to spruce up the plastic, but like a 50/50 mix of both in the same building. Things like how best to use the high detail molded parts to maximum effect when you can do bulk stone by hand. What features are best in plastic or foam, that sort of thing. Not all of us have your sweet sweet connections in the industry and it'd really help in making the kits go further on a budget. ---- And favourite character: Gotta be Faramir. I'd love to see a diorama of him and his men ambushing the Haradrim in Ithilien.

[@TrainedHealth]

One name - FARAMIR! It's so exiting to see Osgiliath growing, plz keep up your great work!

[@LiliaArmoury]

to quote same wise: you can always SHARE THE LOAD (i have moved and would welcome receiving some more plastic to add to my wip pile

[@JDWidhalm]

I'd love to see Arwen with Frodo crossing the river fleeing the Nazgul. Lots of cool resin pour stuff you could encorporate

[@lethalgamez]

CONGRATULTIONS ON 100K SUBS! FINALLY!!! WOOOOO NICE ONE DUDE

[@Eiweing]

I would love to take the Gildor Inglorion model and stick him on a forest path, and then mod a black rider to look fearful, or in retreat.

[@TYLERD955]

Pippin's great, I think he'd make for a great diorama maybe when he takes the orb from Gandalf

[@PraetorianPanzer]

I’d love to see a diorama of Gandalf fighting Durin’s Bane on the highest peak of Zirakzigil, moments before he smites his ruin upon the mountainside.

[@Bearded_Boba]

Fantastic work as always! It's also good to see these kits in mega builds as I think we all collectively assume that they're good throw down scenery, but the "only" way to make diorama sized sets is to come away from the kits and DIY from scratch... And here you are mixing the two perfectly!!!!!

[@Bearded_Boba]

@Zorpazorp its a faaaaaaaaaake!!!!!

[@ominousmecha500]

gimli and legolas together have got to be my favorite the way their dynamic changes and grows as the movies progress and the way they fight together would make for a cool diorama you could frame like the doom cover where its the two of them in the middle of a bunch of orcs coming at them from all sides

[@L0NELYBRICK]

My 'pile of opportunity ' refutes that that is the most plastic sprues I've ever seen in one place.... it is most impressive though.

[@kellykuciemba6789]

Brilliant! I don't throw around the term 'genius' much but I've never seen anything close to the care and craft put into this miniature wargaming terrain.

[@boku5192]

I really like the ruins from the firs wideo but they could use some custam archways for the bridges, because without them i looks like it has been built from concrete and rebar+ it would brak all those square shapes.🙂

[@Czernok]

The flooded area is an amazing idea. In the movies you can't really see it but there would probably be tons of moss a d algae between the cobblestones and basically near the water surface

[@classicmalets9345]

Would love to see a Boromir diorama of him battling the Uruk-Hai scouts. Having the hobbits hide behind some bushes while the Uruk's search would also make a great fit!

[@LiteKniteIII]

Awesome build Lord Zorpa! It’s really coming along. I hope the move to NZ is going well so far, and wish you the best of luck over the coming weeks (btw, Dunedin is awesome). My favourite character from Lord of the Rings would have to be Treebeard. He gives me such positive vibes, and I love listening to his chapter from the audiobook. I think a diorama of the assault on Isengard would be super awesome, with Treebeard carrying Merry and Pippin on his shoulders into the fray. Looking forward to watching the rest of your progress on the Osgiliath build!

[@nyb0318]

A diorama of Théodred's last stand at the Fords of Isen would be amazing. Having Théodred surrounded by a horde of orcs and dunlednings with Grimbold on the background rushing to his aid.

[@stephano6835]

Great work Lachy!! I love the lower part of the city, looking forward to the resin poor on this part. A Diorama for a different character might be Smaug inside Erebor, with the Dwarves trying to get him out.

[@SuperFunnyman73]

I think a great diorama would be the absolutely legendary scene of Sam, Frodo, and Gollum during the "PO-TA-TOES" rant! Something completely different than some of the more epic battle ideas everyone else has been submitting, but I think it'd be a fun little diorama to put somewhere.

[@nicolasloy6971]

Great build, can't wait to see it after the flood of resin! Would really like to see the new Madril setting up an ambush to save Faramir like in the movies. I just love that scene :)

[@balazskiss9118]

My favourite heroe of this game is defenetly Sauron. He would look very awesome in a classical battle of the last alliance sceen at the bottom of mount doom, or as the necromancer with the white orc in the depth of Dol'Guldur.

[@samuelkohn7282]

I'd like to see a diorama of Theoden charging out of helm's deep.

[@TheThomas01101]

It either has to be gimli on the tomb of balin or aragorn as he rides to the black gates

[@Glorfindel_117]

I said before that Glorfindel would make for an incredible diorama. Him and a Balrog on a cliffside moments before the plunge while defending Gondolin would be so cool. And I'm still in shock by how much stuff gw sent you. Like.. So many trolls... I want them aaaall.

[@flamethrower194]

After you do the resin pour for this section you could also build some removable wooden floating walkways that you could lay on top of the resin in between the smaller ruins in the flooded courtyard.

[@nupori]

Hero diorama of Dain Ironfoot for sure! Marching shoulder to shoulder with his dwarven brethren to rescue his cousin or maybe simply have him and some survivors looking over the aftermath of the battle of the five armies. After all lotr is known for these spectacular breathtaking shots that really impact you. Keep up the good work 😉

[@HipposHobbyHours]

This is amazing my friend, your ability to tranform this set into these megastructures and they still all look crazy good! True Talent, You make Isildur and Anárion proud!

[@jscrafting9247]

Man this build is so big! A cool diorama would be Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli singing as they watch Boromir’s funeral boat go over the falls. It’s not your typical diorama but I still think it’s a powerful and cool scene.

[@GarethOB_]

Faramir's doomed charge against the ruins of Osgiliath, packed with orc archers would be a great diorama. On theme too. Great work with this build as always!

[@SonoVAo]

Even though he is in the new boxset, I would love faramir as a knight charging over the fields.

[@joshuaammonspeak207]

A cool diorama could be the Frodo telling Gollum to leave on the slopes of Mount Doom from the books.

[@aegavor4098]

I definitely think a Boromir with his banner holding the speech Diorama would be amazing to have!

[@boardgamewoodsman8378]

Sam, the everyman character. A dramatic diorama in Osgiliath of him and his frying pan stepping between Frodo and the Nazgul would be awesome! Why doesn't Sam get a special strike with the frying pan? Stun or bash would be fitting

[@Behornn]

Duuuuuddde I wish I saw that before I started working on my Osgliath build. This is absolute inspiration GOLD

[@GCEvans09]

My favorite has always been Aragorn. Seeing a diorama of him meeting the King of the dead would be sweet

[@pauls580]

With all these big tables it would be great to see a batrep where the hobits have to travel from one board to the next trying to escape, while Gondor fights the orcs. Maybe with the Gondor heroes moving with them and having to maintain wounds and fate from one board to the next.

[@Ethnarches]

Very cool that the ruin kit has been designed in a way that it let's you create small ruins with just one box or go crazy like this. It's nice in a theory kind of way, since pretty much no one else is going to go crazy like this with the kit, but still it's cool. :D

[@Guitarfailtastic2857]

what kills me is the orcs barely pull back on that bow whilst having an arrowhead pierce plate armor

[@DavidPerez-xr7ki]

OH good lord... that painting job is gonna be terrifying at the very least. And congrats for 100k subbs!! Pd: We have to see a diorama on Amon hen...

[@matthiasaigner4592]

So crazy that you still have so many pieces left. Seems as if you like resin pours: I would love to see a diorama of when the Nazgul get washed away at the Ford of Bruinen saving Frodo.

[@nickpowell5562]

This is freaking insane!!!! Lachy you are a madman...is a good way. Love what your doing bud and keep it up!

[@belegcuthalion3751]

Favorite Hero that look good in a Diorama is Eowyn fighting the Witchking. That Board looks awesome btw. The first big bulding looked to chunky for me. But I'm curious to see it finished.

[@cameronroyce5740]

Honestly Faramir and the other ranger heroes in the sunken buildings would be a favorite, but I’d also love to see more with Dwarves- maybe some rangers moving through a snowy, mountainous pine tree clearing. They’re not in the same army, but having Murin and Drar leading them would be awesome.

[@odharrison23]

You are one of my favorite creators! These crazy huge ideas you come up with, dude it’s amazing to watch! Truly an inspiration! I said last video my favorite character was Boromir, and I think he would make an awesome diorama. There are a lot of options from Him retaking Osgiliath, him picking up the ring on the side of the mountain, his epic last stand protecting Merry and Pippen. Thank you!!! Fantastic work!!

[@peterk4626]

Ah that joyous moment when you get a youtube notification for a new Zorp vid :) Really looking forward to seeing the gangways in action, I do love a bit of elevated combat.

[@Dressk]

Faramir is my favourite character ! Great video, I love it !

[@alexspurlock317]

Would love to see Eomer and the riders come in and clear out osgiliath after taking names on Pelenor. This build looks great but I feel if going for the movies vibe it needs more domes to really sell it for me at least. Like two domes and bam the movies in good 3d

[@RevocerGM]

Let's see Gimli facing off the Uruk Hai at Helm's Deep

[@lachlanjessen570]

Awesome work! Faramir and his rangers setting up an ambush would make for a pretty cool diorama on your epic board....

[@humungachip4710]

Having a fell beast over the city would be great for the diorama.

[@panzerdog236]

Diorama idea: Gimli in Balin's tomb. He's my favourite of the fellowship and he never got enough serious screen time. I'd probably put him on the tomb as in the movie, even though if I remember correctly he never hopped up there in the book. Anyway, great content as always!

[@daedalus6796]

I'd love to see Faramir defending Osgiliath, he's a great character and the scene of the orcs landing is a fun one

[@Valfodur]

Man, your videos are epic. Well done and can’t wait to see it all come together. Also, I’m a huge fan of your Horus Heresy videos! Incredible job with those too!

[@unjointedgoose8]

I mean a diorama of the fellowship travelling by boat on the Andiun would be absolutely sick

[@neylina8384]

I would love to see a Diorama of either Frodo and Galadriel at the Mirror scene, or from haldir leading the Fellowship trough Lothlorien

[@gustavnielsen1816]

It'd be really cool with a diorama depicting King Brand and Dain Ironfoot's last stand at Erebor during the War of the Ring - alternatively, something from the Silmarillion would be nice, like Turin killing Glaurung, or Ecthelion piercing and killing Gothmog with his helmet during the fall of Gondolin!

[@sonofhorus82]

I'm going to continue championing a Frodo/Sam/Gollum in the Crack of Doom diorama. It's always been something I've wanted to do myself, just need to find the skill to do so.

[@Direksone]

Amazing stuff! Looks so good! Also I think Boromir's last stand would make an epic diorama. The forest, a swarm of Uruks and then Boromir at the center of it holding them off and perhaps you see the Hobbits running off? And of course parts of ruins and stones strewn throughout would make a very dynamic diorama I think.

[@everettlefebvre4985]

Loving this build, it’s got me super excited to get the starter set this Christmas! For my favorite character… I’d love to see a Bilbo’s 111th birthday diorama!

[@feanore6076]

Great video again, this will be best Osgiliath terrain ever, no doubt about that. I would like to see miniatures of Gollum Sam and Frodo sneaking away from Osgiliath.

[@matthewcouncell8170]

Really cool scene would be the suicide charge Faramir makes toward Osgiliath. It would be interesting to see how it plays in game compared to the movie

[@boltactiontutorialsbybomor3846]

very cool build, but I wish you would make some arches and pillars for all those floors and elevated gangways

[@tomapiskrec9996]

Id love to see diorama of Glorfindel vs balrog with Gondolin in flames as a background

[@thomasbowman3579]

I have a feeling GW is hoping you'll create an epic diorama with all those warriors they sent you. I'd love to see Frodo about to be swooped up by the nazgul. Would be a fantastic bit of story telling to spy in this board. Amazing work lachie, looking forward to seeing it completed.

[@rickhill245]

The Frodo, Sam, and Gollum from Mount Doom work well for a very nice Crack of Doom diorama.

[@miniaturemiddleearth7376]

My favourite character is Aragorn - he would look fantastic in a diorama against lurtz!

[@thePyro13]

Gandalf all the way. He was a friend to everyone, its a shock he couldn't remember the password for Moria. Always loved seeing him face the possessed Theoden.

[@jphanks]

Gandalf was a jerk! He soloed the Balrog, then came back a level higher and with new loot!

[@stephencraig3176]

i recon Boromir defending osgiliath with his brother could be cool

[@sternmerc]

I would love to see a little scene of King Aragorn recapturing osgiliath, a little diaorama with him standing over some ruins with a gondor flag bearer behind.

[@death1194]

Would be cool to see a diorama of Sauron during the opening scene of the first movies fighting humans and elf’s

[@RedRam_Menhtrol]

Would love to see a diorama of Boromir's body going down the waterfall. Really think it could be beautiful.

[@Ryan-BR]

Treebeard attacking Isengard would be an awesome diorama! This board is looking great! Easily one of the best builds around.

[@stewartmartin8382]

Wow what a beautiful set, look like it's been ripped straight from the film, can't wait to see the whole lot done, good job. I will have to say Aragorn because he's a proper unit by himself

[@pengdubit]

Unsolicited Opinion; I hope you can make more complex shapes…while I am not a mega fan of the Lotr , the architecture looks different from what I see in the movies. This one have the vibe of the imperium. It doesnt seem to fit the first attempt which has more domes and complex shapes. Is it possible there a way to make it more clustered have the buildings closer together? That way when you put the rubbles and supplies and the armies it will feel utterly uncomfortable. keep up the great work, love these builds.

[@Bobdd0]

Astounding work yet again mister lock and pop! I can not wait to see this all base coated and prepped for your resin insanity! Are you feeling more confident now that your last one is in the rear view?

[@aazron87]

I absolutely love what you done with this mega build Lachie but I feel you missed a beat by not revisiting the old Return of the King video game and adding in balsa wood gap fillers and ladders like they had in the game giving it a real ramshackle style and look.

[@mark_w_4458]

GENUINELY looking forward to seeing this project come together. Osgiliath is the coolest setting for LOTR games Boromir for hero pose! 💪

[@1998hazard]

This is amazing, the new ruins kits look incredible, looking forward to seeing them all painted up! Osgiliath is definitely one of my favourite places in Middle Earth, I find its history to be so interesting. I would personally love to see a diorama of Boromir's speech after liberating Osgiliath, Boromir is one of my favourite characters from the books and the films, it's easily one of my favourite scenes from the movies, shame it was cut from the theatrical releases.
