THE DARKNESS BEGINS

Contrary to my last post, I thought I would show a few pics of the seige in progress and post the Riders of Rohan later to maintain some form of chronological order. I have just spent a happy hour writing this post and adding loads of pics, and then lost the whole lot somewhere in the aether, so this will be part 1 and hopefully more tomorrow.....

The Nazgul arrive heralding the approach of the forces of Mordor.

The rest of Sauron's army arrive and the seige begins. The White Tower almost bursts into flame as the spotlight starts to melt the polystyrene and foamboard.

The mighty battering ram Grond, is brought to bear on the gate

As the gates tumble in riven fragments to the ground. the seige towers unload their terrible cargo of orcs onto the walls of Minas Tirith.

The Witch King about to ride through the broken gates and confront Gandalf....

more to follow soon....
