Awesome build. lots of detail on the wall, gate, stairs, and keep, essentially the important parts. who really watches the movie and says,"oh, what nice flowers they have there on the ground behind that battle there at helms deep" it would be nice to see some more intense battling, but overall, an awesome build.

on the whole, your build is good, and I praise you for your amazing rock formations. However, the proportions are quite off and your keep lacks the stunning detail of the rest of the model. However, I do like all your little modifications. 4/5

Critics these days...

finally!! a good helmsdeep mocpages worthy!

awesome dude

It does look like the casino on catalina island! I was there just a couple months ago, and I see the resemblance.

Stunning!

Excellent Moc, nothing to say more.

Wow, i've never seen a better Helm's Deep!

Nice job on the castle. Have you ever thought of selling one of your creations? We would be interested in Helm's deep.

awesome hornburg! Great tower!

very impressive work! amazing vision!

isn't it helm's deep?

Seriously guys, you over criticized, and I'm pretty sure that there is a waterfall in the movie. Even if there isn't, there is one in the book. Anyways, I think that it is a magnificent build, so great job, Eggy!

Please folks, don't over criticize. Seriously, if you want to buy about a thousand orcs, awesome! Go for it. As to Eggy, I like this build a lot. Not everything is perfect, but it's well done, and of a tremendous size. Nice job!

hey this is really cool and really really big =), I read complains of other people who commented on this, and they are really stupid... I mean when anyone of you lunatics build anything like this tell me, but if you are notcapable of doing that I would all please you to shut your mouth, and as Eggplant mentioned allready it is EGGPLANT'S DEEP !!! oh and I saw that somebody mentioned that it doesn't have enough minifigs... I mean the guy used about 100 minifigs... I personaly don't like crosses right and left to the main gate, but it is EGGPLANT'S DEEP !!!

Wow. Every inch rocks. Well duh, I s'pose it is a stone building.. Outstanding work on the curved parapets.

oh my gawd!!!

wow, you must be really dedicated to work on your lego projects to make them perfect

K'mon man. You definitely need to smash a hole in the wall like in the movie. That would be beyond insane. (You'd need to have huge chunks of the wall lying on top of a zillion Uru-khi though).

awesome. huge amounts of detail are good. @toni: those come in the king's castle set from 2007 and in some knight's kingdom sets

State of the art...bravouuuuu!!!! p.s. where did you find those strange helmets of archers?

The MOC is stupendous! The replies to the comments though, hilarious! I remember a pub as well.....

Awesome!! But the curved walls of the keep dont have a place to stand? And the deeping wall is a bit small. Other than that great job. plz comment and rate my mocs.

All I need to say is that my wife, who barely tolerates the existence of my bricks but is a HUGE LOTR fan, was wowed by the shear awesomeness of this creation. This is the very reason you will be so missed during your Dark Ages. I'm not sure about all of the other suggestions offered up, I'm just wondering if that pub has a massage parlor for those post-battle aching muscles...Happy endings for all my men!~H

Majestic!

Awesome...

This is awesome. I love the textures on the walls.

i agree with ryan, EPIC!

Epic...

Great job! Everything in perfect dimensions. Lot of minifigs there. Only two weekends for building? Is that without sleeping? Otherwise I can't imagine to build this that fast :-)

oh and Eggplant can you please check out some of mine LOTR MOCs ???

WOW this is just amazing, I mean I read those complains what some people wrote and I found them really *tupid... 1. when some of you build something fantastic as Eggplant did you tipe me a message but in the meantime *hut your mouth, 2. somebody mentioned that there aren't enough minifigs, in this MOC is about 100 minifigs !!! 3. I personaly don't like crosses left and right to the main gate, but hey it is EGGPLANT'S DEEP !!!

congrats on motd and all that... personally i prefer the third film though but altogether a good moc. though that pic with aragorn and gimli makes no sense, in the film theyre fighting away the horde of orcs from the gates not waiting for them and i would've loved it if you added the "toss me" seen

This is well cool!

Wow! The best Helm's Deep on Moc Pages!!!! Really!! It looks all like in movie. Excellent job! Congratulations fot Moc Of The Day!

Hey eggy! Comeback from your dark age for sec. You got MotD!!!

What a great 'deep'!

What a gorgeous spread, the waterfall just takes the cake!

About time this masterpiece got moc of the day! Congrats eggy! ~ Chris.

great moc !

it's amazing, the patterns and the structure. it's huge and you have allot of minifigs, this is amazing, it's just perfect.

Shocking, and awe-inspiring.

That's: Saruman, Hordes, and Theoden. :P Totally awesome.

THIS IS THE MOST WICKEDLY, INSANELY, AWESOMELY, FANTASTICALLY, TERRIFICALLY COOL LORD OF THE RINGS MODEL I'VE EVER SEEN! YOU ROCK! Also obviously you other guys commenting like lord of the rings, would you like to join my group? Lord of the Brick? check it out! :)

this is just splendid, how on earth could any 1 give u ideas on how to make it better, you cant because they couldnt build it this nice, so they have no say, this is just awsome.

CRAZY!!! all that foliage. this is the best!

Saying "epic" just doesn't do this MOC justice. The size of the mountain you created is ridiculous. The castle walls are perfect, even the trees are heavily detailed. I demand more.

FREAKIN' AMAZIN'!?!?! The most EPICLY AWESOME Castle Creation of all time.

I can actually feel the neurotransmitters spanning clefts to trigger the next neuron as I look upon, and kneel before your glorious creation. I weep at the beauty. Lee.

awesome! one thing I think is missing is the rock that the orc captain stands on when the army of orcs marches into the field in front of helm's deep.

oh my god , that is awesom very very big

Awsome!!! I LOOOOOVE Lord of the Rings! Good job!!!!!

All of your creations are quite beautiful. I have plenty of grey now, but I am working on buying rock and more detail bricks. My next castle should be done soon and I used the rounded towers/walls like you with 1x1 barrels and 1x2 bricks.

I love this, it is the best LOTR creation I have seen. 5 stars

Great Job!Not only was this build amazing, but the comment at the the end were funny. Thanks for the laugh! Nice work, great detail. The best Helms Deep ever. Oh sorry(Eggplant's Deep). lol. 5 Stars!!!

that, is amazing

of course lady dwarfs exist. (spoiler for u youngins u there!) how could they make litle dwarfs? not that they arent litle.....

AWSOMENESS HAS LANDED

ok thats excellent moc! but... on one of those pics you say rohans archers. shouldnt it say eggplants archers?

It's one of the better castles inspired by Helms Deep (better than mine for sure), although some details are missing and behind the big Gate...is nothing than a grew block. For my eye, it's a bit too static as if something would missing but you did a great job by construct this giant thing.

the best on the pages goregeous

this is very creative. good job.

WOW. Just WOW... That's all I can say. I wish I had the Lego/Money/Patience/Skill to do something like this.

People seem to be picking at little details here for criticism but I really can't bring myself to do so. The sheer scale and beauty of this MOC renders it 5/5 for me straight out, I love the tower, so dominant and viewable as a beacon of power and intimidation to the opposing army, I wish I had the amount of LEGO®'s and skill to make such a MOC! Bravo! H§ PS. How does the curved wall method stick to the base?

more minifigs wud b nice but as u said its all muny wise i did enjoy the comments u answerd dey wer all funny

It's perfect. Dont change a thing. When you build something do you plan on paper or make it up as you go. Also do you do the base first or make the small detials like trees etc.

I just had to come back AGAIN and drool a little. Oops, got some on Gimli... sorry ~ Chris.

NICE,This is your best Moc yet,an inspiration for years to come!~LL

Very nicely done, great use of curved wall & detail, very impressive - & big too! ;)

Nice strike at the critiques, I laughed pretty hard at some of those...

Okay, first, WOW, HUGE!!! Now that is out of my system, time to critique. It is not my favorite Helm's Deep on MOCpages, but it is one of the cleanest. Then again, this is Eggplant's deep, so... I do wish there was a battle, there is no waterfall in the movie, and there needs to be that little door next to the gate, but, again, it is loosely based on the movie, not exactly. So, a 5/5 for you, Mr. Eggplant. Great job!

I go on vacation for 4 days and look what I missed! 4,384 hits in a few days... I think that may be a mocpages record! Now then... umm, how did you... how is that... that's not poss... you know what, words fail. The only thing I can say is that it's missing a ferris wheel. Oh wait, you mentioned that already. That's it, I got nothin'. You have just created a work of art, now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go sit in the corner and shake for an hour or two trying to comprehend the sheer awesomeness of this creation. ~ Chris.

Wow, that list of improvements is funny. Some of the comments on my stuff make me shake my head. What are they thinking? Beyond me and I've been around the block a few times. Maybe it's an age thing. Anyway, I was thinkin' all those people who think it's so under populated could send you a few thousand soldiers and farmers to make something really epic. Come on people, let's step up to the plate. Put your pocket book where your mouth is. Thanks for the laugh. garth

My girlfriend would love, she's a huge fan of Lord Of the Ring :) Obviously it's an awesome MOC ! Nothing to change, but maybe I'd love to see a pic with a "dark sky" background. Thanks for the comment and keep on the great work !!!

Amazing work! Lotta nice building here, and some great details. I love the fact that you made even the straight wall with 1x1 round bricks, makes it merge far better with the round part. That's a great idea.

Well done, very well done.

Awesome...just plain awesome. I love the two small towers by the door, the inside is nice, the rocks are insane, the round parts are perfect, the wall is sweet, and the army is massive. There's my "longer review". =) Cool!!!!!!

That is a very accurate Helms Deep creation! Although the pub is not in the movie/book, I think it looks great(and funny) there! I wonder if Gimli can see over that wall. Hmmmm...Perhaps Legolas should fetch him a horse to give him a boost! Amazing job Eggplant! I love seeing the castles that you crank out! C ya~ElNickre

It's beautifully constructed, full of detail and interesting curves, and huge. What more could you ask for? Well, maybe one thing, a battle!

WOW, This is awesome! I think you should have put some battling into this, and maybe more minifigs, but that is all. VERY WELL DONE MATE! Ha Ha about the Frankenstein and the Female Dwarf, GET THAT BEARDED WOMEN INSIDE!

WOW! like.. so.. unbeleivable! piz check out my page (though my creations are not worhty of THIS!!!!!!!

Awesome. I love your sense of humor and your skills!

Now this is the best Helms Deep I have seen so far. (reccomendations annyone?) I only miss a piece: the entrance to the cave! (A V.I.Part) also, there's the crownies again instead of armed farmers. WHY AM I COMPLAINING!

The basic layout is perfect, but adding some details would be a bonus. And besides, that should be the most fun part of building.

That is Fantastic!! the tower looks great, but where are all the elves??? there should be more, and the female dwarf crack is a nice touch. Great MOC.

Wow...you did it. And like I thought it would be, it's my favorite ever. (I'll write a longer review tonight.) =)

That is amazing, if Goldman ever needs a Castle idea for being a lego Ambassador, I'm sending him the link to this MOC. Set-worthy already.

Really nice. A great show piece. Gives everyone something to strive to, or cry about. I really like the colored highlights in the arches. Lots of other great detail and a nice composition. garth

....this creation made me cry. It is AMAZING! I have never seen such a professionally made castle. And it is really accurate. GOOD JOB

Your MOC's just keep getting better (if not larger!). I've been looking forward to this one, and it doesn't disappoint!! The textural details in the walls are terrific, and the scale works beautifully with lots of room for some great play. Speaking of which...as Mr. Young recommended...Let's see some Orc heads a rolling!!!

i am going to keep this short but this is the greatest m o c EVER!!!

While I very much appreciate the bare shots that allow us to see the fantastic construction in all its detail, I can't help but feel that we're being shortchanged somehow. Where's the huge gory chaotic battle scene? Legolas and Gimli can't start tallying kills if all the armies do is just stand there glaring at each other, you know! This instant gratification society of ours doesn't want any "calm before the storm" stuff -- we want blood! We want it now!

I think this is the best Helm's Deep here, but I think you could've done the far east part a bit better. Still, who am I to say anything? Have you ever read Terry Pratchett's Discworld series? In there, the only difference between a female dwarf and a male one is that they are of the opposite sex. Good day

cool as far as i know it this is the first comment here. This, I think is one of the best renditions of helms deep. complete with orcs and a female dwarf. but the thing that capped this moc of is the curved wall with battlements. Nice job.
