About this creation
Helms Klamm
Helms Klamm ist die alte Festung von Rohan in Mittelerde, dem Schauplatz J.R.R. Tolkiens Fantasyepos Der Herr der Ringe. Namensgeber ist Helm Hammerhand, ein Koenig von Rohan, der dort starb nachdem er Helms Klamm einen Winter lang gegen Angreifer verteidigt hat. Die enge Schlucht in der sich die Eingaenge zu den Hoehlen von Aglarond befinden, wird durch die Hornburg und den Klammwall geschuetzt. Sie ist die bedeutendste Fluchtburg der Westfold von Rohan und gilt als uneinnehmbar. Beschreibungen zufolge ist der Wall ca. 250 Fuss (75 Meter) lang, ca. 20 Fuss (6 Meter) hoch und kann mit 2000 Mann besetzt werden. Die Hornburg ist auf dem Gipfel des Hornfelsen erbaut und besteht aus zwei maechtigen Mauern, die den aeusseren und inneren Hof umschliessen sowie aus dem Turm, der das Horn von Helm Hammerhand beherbergt und zuweilen Burg genannt wird.
Das hier ausgestellte Legomodell wurde anhand einiger Bilder in Anlehnung an die Filmkulisse der von Peter Jackson verfilmten Triolgie gebaut. Ueber einen Zeitraum von insgesamt 3 Monaten entstand das zurzeit ca. 2,5 m breite, 1,8 m tiefe und 70 cm hohe Bauwerk. Es wurden schaetzungsweise 15.000 Steine in einer Bauzeit von ca. 35 Stunden verbaut. Das Modell ist zu ca. 50% fertig gestellt. Der Klammwall wird noch verbreitert, und in den Reihen der Angreifer und v.a. Verteidiger fehlt noch eine groessere Anzahl von Figuren. Die Hornburg befindet sich noch mitten in der Bauphase. So fehlen noch der Weg im aeusseren Hof, der Abschluss der Burgmauern, Felsabschnitte und auch der zur Burg gehoerende Turm wartet noch auf seine Fertigstellung.
Helms Deep
Helms Deep is the ancient fortress of Rohan in Middle-Earth the scene of J.R.R. Tolkiens epic fantasy The Lord of the Rings. The eponym is Helm Hammerhand, a king of Rohan who died there after he defended Helms Deep one winter against aggressors. The narrow canyon where the entrences to the glittering caves (caves of Aglarond) are located is guarded by the fortress of Aglarond (Hornburg) and the long Deeping Wall. Helms Deep is the most important refuge of the Westfold of Rohan and is said to be impregnable. According to descriptions the wall is 250 feet (75 meters) long, 20 feet (6 meters) high and offers room for 2000 defenders. The Hornburg is build on the top of Helms Dike and consists of two mighty walls surrounding the outer and inner yard and the tower sometimes called �castle� with the great horn of Helm Hammerhand.
The shown design model of Lego bricks was build on the basis of pics from the film scenery of Peter Jacksons film trilogy. During a period of 3 months the building with a widht of 2,5 meters, depth of 1,8 meters and hight of 70 cm was constructed. The model is half-finished by now. The Deeping Wall is to be broaden and a number of defenders and a even larger number of aggressors is still missing. The Hornburg is a complete building site. The path in the outer yard, the completition of the castle walls, rocks and the tower are still under construction.
this are pics from an cometition in Berlin, Germany.

This is amazing. Im working on my helms deep now and had some questions. Ive noticed several way of building the circular wall including using the rounded 1x1 pieces making it seem round by zigzagging it. I didnt notice either on yours and wondered how you managed to curve it. Also for the path to the gate how did you make that curve? Was it by attaching them one line to the left or right to give it the curving effect? Btw please check out my progress and tell me if their is anything i can do to improve it. thanks ~William |

I could never build something that cool. But just as Josh suggested, why don't give Minas Tirith a try?

This is the best version of Helms Deep I've seen on the site. Very accurate to the one from the books and, or movies. Some more pictures of the castle walls and inner city would make this creation even better. |

Ausome. There is just one problem. The defenders. (Rohan) have more men the the attackers from Isenguard (Urik Hia). Other than that its pretty good. Although helms deep could have been a bit bigger |
