What better way to celebrate the spookiest time of the year than with a massive diorama of the spookiest location in middle earth?

Today we begin the most mental speed-build I’ve ever attempted, as we create the Hill of Sorcery and fortress of Sauron the Necromancer, Dol Guldur. We’re talking dark dungeons, a filthy ruined castle, enough rusty metal to need a daily tetanus shot, the biggest spiders you’ve ever seen, undead wraiths who just don’t die, and the spookiest villain of all, the NECROMANCER. We of course all know the iconic silhouette of Dol Guldur from the Hobbit trilogy but it actually plays host to a massive siege during the War of the Ring and as such we’re be building a huge layout to fully encapsulate the entire location in tabletop form, from the spider infested forests of Mirkwood, through the foundations of cliff and stone, right up to the towering heights of the fortress itself. We’re going to need a lot of foam, a lot of plastic, and a lot of candy to get this done in a month. Halloween is coming to Middle Earth. If you’re pumped for spooky Sauron month, hit that subscribe button down below and strap in Zorptrons, we’re going to have some fun.

Chronicle - For me, it is Rivendell/Imladris. The flow of the architecture in and around the cliffs with interspersing waterfalls that drop down to the river Bruinen below. How the walkways weave between the buildings and the arches meld seamlessly between structures, and the colors pulled directly from the forests beyond.
