Lachie: And I'm building it on location! Me: *Checks calendar* Oh, he's actually batshit, and he's gonna be frozen batshit. Great work though, and glad to see Adam along for the adventure.
What an amazing trip! I appreciate how thoughtful you are dude. You collaborate, you make sure to use the right names for the people you work with and the spaces you work in and travel to, you make sure to protect the land you are so in love with. You take an ownership of your infatuations, Rather than claiming ownership of that which infatuates you. Keep up the good work mate, thank you for sharing this journey with us all!
living in England, we are well used to rain over here. so we set up & use a Gazebo if we need to do anything outdoors & are unsure of the rain. you can get them in all sorts of shapes and sizes, some with all 4 walls, some with only a certain number of walls, 1, 2, 3 and of course some with only the roof. When I saw you struggling with the Edoras on Edoras build, I thought "What he needs is a Gazebo" and now I see you struggling again I thought I would mention it. you can get them to fit on a roof rack and some even fold out of roof boxes on your car, making setting them up a breeze. Sorry if you have already dismissed this for some reason or law. But I thought I would mention it, keep up the fantastic work!
I don't know how available it would be in NZ, but it would save you some fund tackling mountains of plastic. Tamiya Extra Thin is my preferred plastic cement, but I only buy one bottle then buy the much much cheaper Tamiya Airbrush Cleaner. Chemically, the two are almost identical, which can be verified on their respective material safety data sheets. Extra Thin is 50% Acetone and 50% butyl acetate while the airbrush cleaner is 51% Acetone and 49% butyl acetate. So I recommend picking up a bottle or two of Tamiya Airbrush Cleaner if you can find it, and using that as your plastic cement and save a lot of coins.
@@Zorpazorp its far better than the Revell Contacta you are currently using (which itself is already far better than GW plastic glue), but with such big projects you might find the Contacta to still be useful for big long joins. The Tamiya is in a league of its own for smaller jobs (like building 40k minis, attaching smaller pieces, ect), but evaporates quite fast, so probably wouldn't be suitable for all terrain work.
@@AshleyBlackwater I've built a bunch of terrain with Extra Thin. Hold the pieces together and run a brush full along the seam. If you are using the airbrush cleaner, you can use a paintbrush to apply it over long contact joins.
That's insane dude! You're really inspiring me to get back into LOTR and building some terrain bits for it, although I'm not sure if I should be thanking you, my wallet certainly isn't
17:35 it is weird for me to be watching Zorpa Zorp while the intro music from the Renegade Cut youtube channel plays in the background (Basement Jaxx - The Ends) These new kits look amazing; almost as good as the background.
I had to google New Zealand lakes to just.....double check what you said, because I dropped my paintbrush when I thought you said...what I thought you said 😅 It looks like the post move chaos has died down and settled to just a logistical nightmare, no matter how much planning and forward planning you put into it you're going to spend the next X months finding something you desperately need is 2,500ish miles away! 🤦♂😂 All the best with the new home, and all the adventures that will bring! What a breathtakingly beautiful country (when you can see it lmao)
Haha thank you mate, yeah I'm stumbling my way through the Te Reo Maori, it uses a very nuanced vowel inventory, so it's really fun trying to get a good handle on it :) Oh mate every day I'm getting packages sent it feels like haha!!
Thanks so much for bringing this location to my attention! I’m a Brit currently travelling in New Zealand, and I’m now heading out to Aoraki Mount Cook next week. P.S. if you ever need a volunteer for any of these crazy projects you have my sword!
Tbh I’m very tempted to buy 2/3 kits of the Gondorian mansion, slapt them together and add the necromunda market terrain on the bottom to make a 40K version of Ancient Rome
Love the new format! Cant wait to see more of what middle earth looks like in winter covered in fog and clouds! They are calledthe misty mountains for a reason!
ZZ. Thats a crazy idea......Yeah lets do it!!! You guys are champs. Winter is finished in Canada. Watching you guys in 5 degree weather makes me feel cold.
Ive been in love with these GW terrain sets, completely been neglecting my pile of minatures that need painting, i cant stop going out and buying more and more sets to just play with its literally adult lego
Bloody love this series! Such a great concept and even if the weather doesn’t play ball for 80% of the time when the fog clears it is truly a site to behold. Might be nice to see you paint the new get off the road diorama on location 🤓
I know it's probably not possible to physically look inside another person mind to see ideas, schemes, projects and plans but scrounging through Lachys storage unit came pretty close. I'm still not sure how I successfully got the door closed. Until next time storage unit, until next time.
Lush video, shame about the clouds dude, bet you were gutted as that would have been epic. Next build I would love to see you do the underground goblin town. Now that's a challenge of technical beauty. Big love, keep up the good work.
I don't know if they will let you, but Bag End at Bag End in Hobbiton near Matamata would be fantastic, especially if you were to dress up as hobbits. 🤣 The Forbidden Pool at Mangawhero Falls could be feasible if you have a foam containment system in mind. My favorite would be Rivendell at Kaitoke Regional Park, but I'm not sure that is logistically reasonable. Might be best to stay warm by the fire of a laser cutter for that one.
Another plastic insanity ! Well done Lachlan, well done. BTW, what are those clear plastic deeeep sorting containers ? They look super useful, and I'd like to know in case I have, errh, to populate them....
Ohh man I just recently sold my very OOP Gondor army like two weeks ago. it had around 110 metal minis and seeing this video made me sad I sold it as seeing the buildings made me hyped and wanting to make a gondor gaming board 😅 the army got a lovely home tho and is in safe hands so Im happy with that 🙏cant wait to see the finished board in all its glory
This is so awesome. Looks like you may have to invest in in a canopy/gazebo to give you some cover to work under (though it wont do much for the cold!!
Fantastic, now I know why the GW LOTR buildings are always out of stock. Still waiting for my first Oligarth kits. Great idea to build outdoors, might be a good idea to get a large tent shelter for next time to keep the NZ rain away
Not sure if you guys have thought about using magnets but the make it so you can take apart everything as you need it so long as you remember to put them in the right way
Great video and what a beautiful location the new kits look amazing can't wait to see them all in a battle report. Keep up the great work take care stay safe.
Amazing work as always! Quick question for you: best guess, how many of the Mansion kits would it take to build the first custom building you built in this video? I would guess 3-4 offhand, but I figure you might have a better idea; thanks for the fantastic content and inspiration!
@@Zorpazorp thank you! I actually build some of the Gondor Ruins over the weekend, but I now have the Mansions ordered and I’m very excited to get cracking on them!
I love this! :O this gave me sooo much inspiration for my own campaign! Also, I'd be really keen to see your take on a cleric lich. Also, yeah, I stay untill the end before I live, love, leave ;p
Damn that location looked wonderful, when the sun was out anyway ;) And since you are such a huge fan off Rohan, perhaps a visit to Lorien or Rivendell?
Watching Zorpazorp is the opposite of hobby schadenfreude. It's feeling misery from someone else's joy because you didn't get a giant pile of nerd plastic to play with and they did...

Liking these. I'm UK based so a quick orientation map of start/end points and distances travelled would be a lovely addition.

Kiwi here - welcome bro! Love the content but equally impressed by the respect for the land and the culture. Kia ora
I hope this board gets displayed for the next 20+ years somewhere.
Thats the dream :)
Man that would be SO FUN! Build on location, " For Gaming!" Hell YEA! You Crazy Guys are amazing!!! LOVE THIS!!!!! STAY WARM!!!
Absolutely love the build! Also, great job at nailing the te reo attempts 👍🏻
I just like seeing how totally stoked you are about being there.
maybe minas morgul/ithill? you have pretty good map from shadow of war . Also you can slap some green LEDs .
YESSSSSSSSSSSS
Absolutely awesome, I didn't really appreciate those kits but seeing how versatile they are I'll definitely be picking a few up
I think the mansion is probabaly GWs best scenery ever, so stunning.
Lush video, shame about the clouds dude, bet you were gutted as that would have been epic. Next build I would love to see you do the underground goblin town. Now that's a challenge of technical beauty. Big love, keep up the good work.
God, New Zealand is beautiful. Just look at those gorgeous mountains. You are a lucky man.
I don't know if they will let you, but Bag End at Bag End in Hobbiton near Matamata would be fantastic, especially if you were to dress up as hobbits. 🤣
The Forbidden Pool at Mangawhero Falls could be feasible if you have a foam containment system in mind.

Ah thanks matte, this is probably my favourite video ever after the WETA doco.
Would love to see rivendell made into a Wargaming table with the gate house for siege games
Weather be damned! That was still a beautiful backdrop for those builds dude! ❤
Cheers David, it was a stunning place to craft haha
Fantastic, now I know why the GW LOTR buildings are always out of stock. Still waiting for my first Oligarth kits. Great idea to build outdoors, might be a good idea to get a large tent shelter for next time to keep the NZ rain away
Agree with Lachlan, Adam is criminally under subscribed. His videos are brilliant looking forward to more future collaborations!
"That unmarked cardboard box."

It's not too far away from there actually, another two hours south down in Queenstown!
New Zealand is actually insane. It’s hard to believe that it’s even real to me! Maybe when I hit the lottery this year I’ll go check it out!!😂

Amazing, a bunch of my favorite things all rolled into to one awesome video
These videos are getting better and better!
Amazing, i miss home haven’t been back in ages. Love lord of the rings and the love you show aotearoa, cheers
Love the silhouette you achieved on the build, those new kits look great! (just use a few too many windows for my taste XD)
They could also try making some more WH sets to meet the client demand (many are instantly out of stock) - it seems they're not short on plastic 🤣
Often the supply issues aren't quantity manufactured, but other issues in the pipeline
Damn that location looked wonderful, when the sun was out anyway ;) And since you are such a huge fan off Rohan, perhaps a visit to Lorien or Rivendell?
This is a really great channel, all I have to say is keep up the awesome work!
This really inspired me to build some of my own Gondorian buildings, but going to the GW website quickly shattered all my dreams. Good video though.
This brings a tear to my eye. Such an inspiration ZZ!
Thank you mate!!
What a beautiful and perfect place to build some minis (Logistics, weather, temperature permitting lmao)
Ah that's all in the fun of it hahaha
On location eh ? Now make a Balrog Gandalf diorama at the top of Aoraki/mount Cook
That would be Pluto Peak actually!!! Down south of glenorchy :D it has crossed my mind already hahaha
mountain of plastic drinking game: take a shot anytime anyone says 'modular'.
it's a brilliant drinking game because every participant wins AND loses.
Incredible. Looking forward to what's next! 😃
I kinda get the feeling you're the reason I had to wait a month till GW decided to sent out my Mansion and Tower :D
Dude! I'll take some off your hands if you like. That scenery looks great. 😅
Yesss, was wondering what you’d put together with these new kits 🙌🏻
Most important item during this build … Jaffa Cakes 💯😜
Weirdly it was only me eating them
Sweat, tears, and literal blood were poured into this project
Great work man. Our country is beautiful. Welcome again
Now I understand, where is my bottom plate from Rogal Dorn tank *Kappa*
This has to be the only reason why I’m going outside 14:39
