Thanks for all the praise, sirs! I feel flattered beyond all measure. It definitely does motivate me to plod on with my party-sticks.
I hope I didn’t scare you off with all my mumbling in the article about suffering and self-pity. Actually, it is quite fun to work on a model like this. Quite easy too, with all the templates ready at hand (…). It is a rewarding job as at every stage these elements become more detailed – and the Gate grows bigger. Believe me, the pictures do not tell you all.
It will take some time to produce the second article about (1) the making of the smaller ‘hinge-tower’, (2) the gate-wall next to it and (3) the higher wall that connects the gate to the big tower. All should be ready around Christmas (that should give you sufficient time to finish both Gateway elements yourself!)
@ Dorthonion: as for these “fiddley little cuts”: I had similar thoughts about the paintwork on your model of Zirak-Zigil… OK then, we’re both mad.
@ MacGothmog: let it be known in public that it’s partly due to your editing skills that the article looks the way it does!
@ Bhikkhu:
“Sanctus igitur Dionisius, qui tradente beato Clemente Petri apostoli…”
@ Dagorlad: dam(…)it! Highest praise possible. You can’t surprise me anymore…
@ frodolikescheese: just cut an A-spike to find out… and you might start tomorrow…
@ El Rabbito: yours might be taller, but mine’s more to the points.
Last but not least:
@ Onyx: You’re absolutely right. I will make a note on the correct use of MDF right away in the next article; meanwhile, I hope people will read your remark here (luckily, there isn’t much sawing involved in the first part but that’s going to change with the 2nd and 3rd part).
@ all others: thanks again! (to be continued)
