Boromir Lives AU: Helm's Deep
This is going to make more sense if you read my illustrated dissertation on Boromir's hair length and emotional stability across the trilogy.
There's a reason Boromir had to die in canon and it's because there's too much opportunity for CHARACTER DEVELOPMENNTT

Temporary crisis
Gimli's pissed
Legolas makes a shirt that says I slapped Boromir at Helm's Deep and all I got was a blunted arrow.
Hey, it worked, though. Bad luck for the uruks who happened to be first through the breach of the Deeping Wall.

The Sword of Elendil was forged anew by Elvish smiths, and on its blade was traced a device of seven stars set between the crescent Moon and the rayed Sun, and about them was written many runes; for Aragorn son of Arathorn was going to war upon the marches of Mordor.

Backgound LEGOLAS can really multi-task.
This is one of my favorite scenes. Legolas is trying to eavesdrop on Aragorn and Éowyns conversation while guiding scared civilians with a gentle hand.
Fucking legend.

The Lord of the Rings - Helm's Deep
After working solely on long term, multi-part builds, I decided to do my first short term, one post build, for this blog. Short term became several weeks due to large amounts of Total War Warhammer 3 and having a job, but I got it done eventually.
The build I chose was the fortress of Helm's Deep from The Lord of the Rings franchise. This castle takes center stage in the second movie of the trilogy and is the setting for what is probably the greatest fantasy battle ever put on screen, and I don't care what those hacks who made Game of Thrones say.
The main reference I used for this was the collectible model that Weta Workshop made of the castle. It is a true work of art, (check out their website for pics of the model and a bunch of other expensive stuff) and was invaluable for this project. I even made my build a bit like a collectible diorama, with the mountains and landscaping cut off to focus the attention on the castle itself. Unlike the model, my build does not feature any parts of the glittering caves beneath the castle as I just didn't want to spend my free time building caves.
Overall, I am extremely pleased with how this build turned out, and I may be looking back to Middle Earth for more one off builds to make for this blog, *cough* Rivendell *cough*, so maybe check back in several months for that.
