That is really creative. Nice use of those hand-held sign things has swords, or lances, or whatever weapon they're supposed to be.

I'm really amused by this, keep up the good work.

Great Micro scale MOC. I used the 1x1's as people until the minifigs came along, but I never thought of those weapons and helmets. Great job.

Were you trying to do it in scale? :? I like the idea of the men, but they don't fit in with Mount Doom. :(

Are all those 1x1 tubes with the clips on top orcs? Even if they're not, there's some great micro work in this MOC. I especially like your technique with the headlight piece for the men.

All three of my entries are based in a sub-minifig scale..I would have made

Mount Doom larger in scale to the micro-fig armies... but it would have ended

up much too large, and this is more of a micro-scale diorama, with vignette

sensibilities... Wink

I hope this helps...
