The tower of Orthanc at 1/3000 scale is pretty small, just a bit over two inches. So I decided to build the entire Isengard compound, with flaming pits, timber towers and cranes of the uruk-hai.

| The basic foam shape |
 |
| The cavern cutouts |
 |
| Vinyl plaster covering |
 |
| Starting the enclosure. Wall sections are foam and bastions are fired cosclay |
 |
| Making the bastions |
 |
| Firing the bastions in my heat gun powered makeshift tea tin oven |
 |
| Making the wooden towers |
 |
| Adding an uprooted tree |
 |
| The cranes are in place and the tree root craters are done |
 |
| The foliage is complete |
 |
| Finished shot with the wooden base |
This was a fun build
