Deeping Wall Orc Assault - collector's display model
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.
