Location: The Ruins of Osgiliath

Osgiliath used to be the capital city of Gondor, however it has become an abandoned ruined city. During the war of the rings (return of the king) Osgiliath became of strategic importance due to it being a crossing point over the river the Anduin. My moc takes places in this time when the Orcs of Mordor have taken over Osgiliath from the man of Gondor, and are ready to march upon Minas Tirith. Also visible is the ruined tower housing the dome of stars, adjoined by the big stone bridge.

Making this model was a bit different to my usual way of building. As always I started of with choosing a color pallet however this ended up with a rather monotone pallet of dark gray, black and some highlights for the stone work with sand blue and sand green. Therefore there was a bigger focus on creating a texture rich model. This was rather fun and some interesting building techniques were used, like the different ways the arches and roofs were made.
