A stunning display model/diorama of Uruk Hai troops assaulting part of the Deeping Wall at the siege of Helms Deep. This is a custom built, one-of-a-kind model that'd be a worthy addition to anyone's collection, or a very special gift for that LOTR fanboy that already has 'everything'

It's very easy to say that pictures don't do something justice, but in this case it happens to be true - there's a lot to see on this model, from all different angles.

The diorama captures a number of moments from the battle:
• Saruman's Orcs swarm up assault ladders as the Rohan defenders try to hold them back...;
• A beserker has managed to gain a foothold on the ramparts...;
• Beside the culvert is a toppled and broken ladder, dead orcs littering the ground around it...;
• At the base of the wall, engineers are placing bombs within the drainage culvert, and a beserker's already started his run, flaming torch in hand...

The base size is an impressive 22 x 12 inches, and the wall itself stands 7 inches high. There are 130, 28mm Games Workshop figures on the model (all plastic), including a number of conversions. (Uruk Hai captains, standard bearers, casualties, beserkers). The siege ladders have also been extended in length to give them a more realistic look.

You can check out more pics of the diorama at http://www.customhobby.com/images/galleries/lotr/deeping%20wall%202005/wall2005main.htm
