NOTE: The retention rate is a bit lower, but we gotta keep the youtube gods happy! I really like how this is coming along now, but we need to expand on the underground thingo. I mean, your little talk about that seemed pretty good for you and the algorithm! Could I ask though, could we see what’s happening with the underground city concept?- even just thought out plans or buildings. I think it’s been in the back of our minds for a bit, and could help keep others hooked.
Where do you get your foam board? I have been to your webpage and followed several of the links in your descriptions, but I can’t find the information. I’m in the US.
My dude, I don't even Warhammer and I can't stop watching these build videos. There needs to be a word invented that surpasses "Epic" for the work you do.
Same here. I know of Warhammer, I even think about learning how to play it one day, but for now I don't. And yet, I'm LOVING seeing these build videos.
It's 'cause he used to work constructing sets and miniatures for the film industry - I do film/tv lighting as a spark and I've seen the work these guys do up close and holy shit - they're amazing at what they do.
I think I'm in the mood for some Middle Earth. I'm for sure hyped about the Legions Imperialis build, especially because I play the game, but I love your Middle Earth builds.
@@Zorpazorp Came to say the same thing. I don't play Warhammer, love watching you build, but I feel like switching it up could be like a..pallet cleanser isn't the right word. But something different so there's a variety of flavors. Love your work!
On lunchbreak - open youtube, new Zorpazorp Imperial Palace video! - 10/10 lunchbreak. Love these videos and your energy in every video, keep up the great work.
About the motivation business: 1)In Russia there's this really famous Lenin quote popular, cemented into russian minds since the Union times, which sounds like this - "Best rest is action". And it means exactly what your patrons have been suggesting - switch up the projects and work on something else. 2)Studies have shown that mixing up different lighting levels in your workspace during the day helps increase productivity. When your eyes perceive through a different lighting level, they send a signal to the brain, tricking it into thinking something new and interesting is happening! Awesome vid, thank you so much and good luck!
I think the Imperial Palace again. Now you've got the dedicated viewers here for Palace, and you've got a series going. Interrupting it now I don't think would help your other already started project. As for this video, I know it's not as "done" as the last two however I liked seeing the modularity on that large scale and the bridge fitting. It's looking closer to being done as a whole with what you've added.
Have you ever thought about auctioning / selling games on this board? You could imagine selling - say - ten tickets for $100 or so for one event a month and it’s a new revenue stream for the channel and something people could do on holidays in NZ. Doesn’t preclude other games with your mates.
More Imperial Palace! The chopping and changing thing was what started to drop viewers in the first place. best to keep going with the new format that's turning it round! ❤
I really think this 20mn format is where you shine the most. I really enjoy seeing you carve and build this palace video by video. Although, I may want some middle earth because I don't want the palace building's journey to end soon 😁
Hahahaha thank you mate, and yeah that's actually a big draw for me to return to Middle Earth hehe, not ready to be done with Palace yet! Like emotionally haha
Love it, I love the whole WIP focus, it's actually really inspiring to me to see the process overall than a 30min speed run to completion cause this gives more realistic expectations for scenery to make jumping in more reasonable. As someone with severe ADHD that tends to jump into things with both feet and then get discouraged if things don't go as easily as predicted, seeing the long process is very helpful and personally helpful to know that it's not super easy. Thank you and keep up the amazing work
Loving it Lauchie, missing middle-earth but it seems to be doing good for you, congrats on the support and the sponsors to come back, keep it up, inspirational as always! P.S. update the 1st part of my Erebor board and Helms deep board are complete as always you inspire me, starting a new board soon as well!
I will watch whatever you do! Your builds are so motivational in both sides! The ideas from the palace can be switch to middle earth or warhammer fantasy so easily that every video deserve a minimun of 10 views!
always impressive to see your crafting skills hard at work. Also absolute heresy that at time of writing you have almost 1500 views on this video but only about 300 thumbs up. How can you not press that like button with this stupendous amount of top tier work ❤
Hammerhal would make me moister than an Idoneth in heat. The AoS architectural aesthetic is super cool and high fantasy so would be a significant departure from the also gorgeous Middle Earth builds
Hero! Is there a PO Box you have people can send bits you need/ want? Do you have a list of bits you’re running out of/ particularly need? For example I have a load of old razorback turret lascanons I could send for weapons (from the UK so don’t hold your breath!)
Middle Earth! But the palace is looking great too. As a side note, and I don’t know much about the algorithm but if you’re looking for a sustainable channel format maybe not every video has to be the BIGGEST THIS THING every time. I can see how many hours you put into each vid and it’s awesome but I (and maybe others?) would love to just see you sitting down chatting about something miniature hobbying related etc.
@@Zorpazorp he's also a big warhammer nerd too, so even bigger coincidence. Like, he has a Warhammer lore podcast called "adeptus ridiculous" and has sisters, night lords, and guard armies
Looking awesome! I personally would like to see some Middle Earth just for your own fun and some spice. Imperial Palace again certainly wouldn't be a disappointment though!
This Imperial Palace project is probably in my top 5 favored series on RUclips. I have learned a lot from your videos and have used some of your techniques in my projects. I am mainly here because I like the channel as a whole. I am just happy to see any update on the palace and watch it take shape. This video was really good, I don't think it needs to be a major development every time. Seeing a collection of smaller details like the cannons and the bridge and hearing an explanation of what's happening is necessary for the grander vision. I can appreciate it all as an indicator of the direction that this project is headed. Personally, I would like to see more of the Imperial Palace, but what I love to see most is your passion for your projects, so do what you are passionate about and, I'll keep watching for that.
I am not a long time fan or anything but i think the important thing for me that keeps me coming back to see these videos is that you do at least a handful of videos before moving on. Seeing the handful of videos on this project is what has kept me interested in it. I feel like if you change to something else and only do a little bit of progress before changing again i wouldn't care as much.
The Imperial Palace continues to be top tier, so I'm happy for that train to keep rolling! With regards to the content, even if it is mostly carving foam, seeing the techniques you use is really educational. Plus the vibes are always excellent! Glad to hear things are looking up a bit and can't wait to see what comes next!
Yeah absolutely, it honesty won't need much changing I've built the epic scale buildings so large, they sort of work for 40k anyway hahaha but yeah I'll go through it all :)
Warhammer is always cool, but the LOTR content always keeps me coming back. Loved the “what if” scenario battles, and have been DESPERATE to see Minas Tirith get finished!
Loving the Heresy stuff at the moment Zorp, I’m regularly refreshing my feed to check when the next updates are out. Personally I think you’d be best off finishing this part of the imperial palace (you’re so close to having it done) and then you can always expand for a “Season 2” some point later in the year. I like Middle Earth, but I don’t think it would capture me as much as the Heresy setting. Whilst views are booming I’d keep tapping into the Warhammer / 30k Fanbase. Perhaps if you needed a mini break you could always do a spin off series, like painting a few Heresy units like some SOH or Blood Angels based on the siege whether that be Epic or Big scale. (At least then it’s still linked to the Heresy and Palace theme) If you were really demotivated and wanted to do some middle earth, then perhaps just paint some LOTR models and post them like some goblins or infantry. The first video of yours I watched was the Ork Killteam which I loved. Could always just scratch that hobby itch, and then come back to the Palace next month for the last push. Hope that ramble makes sense, but I think stopping the palace now then you’re so close to having an insane section done would be a mistake.
Looking awesome and truly mad with the Imperial Palace build. Adding another giant tower? Brilliant! And I'm looking forward to returning to Middle Earth and Minas Tirath.
Have you considered using TLotR buildings in the palace setup? Little break from hard edges and pointy roofs, to perhaps make a distinct, more arcane-y looking district? And with size difference from the Imperialis buildings make them bit of a focal points if mixed in? Potential targets for later?
Idk, but this feels like the PERFECT map idea Legions Imperialis, the large scale of the Imperial Palace would help with the small scale of the units in Legions Imperialis
In all honesty, I don't know! Last video I suggested you stuck to the Imperial Palace, but man, you are a true artist and creator and everything you build is gorgeous so, I really don't know which way to suggest you go! (I am going to watch it either way! ;)
Even though I hugely prefer your ME content, I say round this project off so that you can fully swing back into ME boards and making ME videos for a while
As much as I have enjoyed the Imperial Palace build, I must say I do think 4 videos in a row are a bit much for me personally, its almost as if I'm craving to see a bit of Middle Earth now. I think the first three were *chefs kiss* this fourth one, has taken me longer to watch, which is odd for as soon as I see that notification I jump on it. Whether that be due to interest or starting a new job I don't know. Hopefully, that helps in some way :) Keep up the awesome work, I am really loving the new format and the finish portions at the end of the video gives a satisfying ending for the videos.
MIDDLE EARTH!!! :D Love what you're doing with the Imperial Palace, super inspiring, and love everything you're working on, but I do have my favorite game from GW, so there's that, :)
Looking good, Lachie! As I said in the last video, I think you should continue the Imperial Palace to completion before you move to Minas Tirith (no matter how much I'm anticipating that board!). I feel like if you stop partway (or when you're so close to the end), the series will lose momentum, and it will be difficult for viewers to pick up again~
Nah mate, don't worry about this "completionist buzz" this is a SOLID update regarding the actual board. sure, the details are usually the most fun, but seeing the actual shape you are going for nearly completed... It kinda feels like I can finally grasp what your vision is for this, and that's super important as well Keep doing what you're doing, either slowly or quickly, but please don't fret too much about the "progress-per-video" so to speak
Ah thank you so much buddy, that's exactly why I was so happy with this part, the actual silhouette I've been dreaming of from the start is almost finally there!!!
So, I am absolutely loving these videos as a scenery designer myself, but I am, again, BEGGING you to PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE put some sort of numbering or something to make these videos simple to watch in the correct order. As a newcomer to your channel, I would honestly have just moved on and found something else to watch if I didn't have a vested interest in seeing how you achieve some of the things you do.
Been watching for so long, and I just cannot stress how much you’ve helped me realize my desire to get into warhammer, and now I am. I play once a month with two buddies, and you’ve been the one to inspire my desire to play. Huge thanks, you’ve helped me realize my dream of playing WH40k (and even now I am preparing my T’au Empire Combat Patrol team)
Its missing something. The emperor sits there on his golden throne. GOLDEN.. I think we need some shiny stuff. Some proper shiny stuff. Some REAL gold for the details. This project deserves it
Looking forward to a bat rep for this board. Also my head cannon is that the 28mm titans are actually sized for epic scale so that was the best thing to see!
I am once again here to remind you: Banners! Imperial Fists, Imperial Guard Regiments, Custodes. YOur stone mansion needs colour ! MAybe you could find a way to honour your patreons with them?
I know you tend to ever exspand your builds but it never ceaces to amaze me mega mega MEGA stuff man. And i still think rotating trough projects is a great way to keep folks intrested, i know i'll keep coming back
Dude, I just enjoy your energy and builds. I'm happy to watch and support whatever you decide to do for your next video! Most important thing for me, is that you continue to enjoy what you're doing, as that's what comes across in your videos :).
Such a huge amount of progress made, don't beat yourself up about "not as much completed" this time, looking amazing and can't wait to see more of this 😊 Or some cheeky Minas Tirith if you want a break 😉
Amazed at the progress and where youve got to and the work youve put in from where you....feels like we😂....started we cant loose you😔, youl be a legend for this. 💥💯 more of sorry 😊
It’s looking very good but it’s a grey city backed by grey walls. I think throwing some giant magnetized banners could help break up the slabs of grey and you could make one that’s a list of those who helped build the palace and those defending it (patron supporters)
I am so incredibly impressed with the honesty in how you’ve made this and being so welcoming to feedback, I seriously hope this works out for you. These are incredible and deserve way more, I can’t wait to see more. And I always love seeing fellow kiwis succeeding in the world
What is better than 2 trenches? 3 trenches! great video as usual :) personally I would like to see Minas Tirith next, but will watch whatever comes out anyway
This is so epic and awesome on figuring out how to more efficiently prime this stuff. This is going to be an amazing piece for a large event to game on! Heck, even just as a large display piece with minis on it for a larger con one day, this is just amazing. I'm running out of words to through out here but seriously, job well done!
I get what you mean about feeling like the video didn't give the completionist vibes we enjoy, but still loved it mate! You integrated the plastic super well and I'm very keen to see the next result of your efforts. That super tall bastion has me excited!!
Does your wife ever pop her head in the room when you're walking around talking to yourself and film you privately? I bet that's hilarious Looking great.
I think there are two types of "completion" that are stratifying, the first is actual full completion, detail, paint, greeblies, etc. The second is adding significant new things and having clear progress, this video falls in to the second, yes its not fully complete, but you have added quite a lot and got base paint down so its clear something has been accomplished.
When it comes to detailing, maybe think about the access to those titanic guns as well. The Energy weapons might need huge cables and stuff like the rocket launcher and canons somehow have to be reloaded by crane. The ammunition also has to be transported to the guns, so you could for example place some railways which lead from the gun to an entrance in a building.
keep going on the imperial palace mate. that was a mad video. Also i agree keep switching up what your doing in the background to avoid that hobby burn out and when you swing back to middle earth it'll be an epic video with a lot of work already completed. keep it up your smashing it.
I'd be really interested to see what your process is for initially planning these projects. Do you sketch things out, do you create a basic, customisable plan or do you just go headlong into your gut instincts and just smash it out on the fly?
A huge mix, for this build basically what you see now and more was completely planned out by day two of video one, back in November, but then I adapt and improvise as the build comes together :)
Fun fact. If you look up "mad lad" it's just a photo of Lockey. 🤣😂 I'm a middle earth guy but I will always watch these videos as you've hooked me and your projects are simply unreal and need to be appreciated. Looking forward to the next one and the updated Minas Tirith.
HAHAHAHAHA Thank you so much Nicky! I'm doing a MT day today working on the main gate (shhh spoilers) which is a nice break and then I'll decide tomorrow if it's one more Palace video or I keep going and knock MT over! Thank you as always mate!
I am just in awe at the massive amount of work you got done in just a couple weeks. This Imperial Palace project seems to be bringing in all your strengths: integrating foam and plastic together, layout/design, kitbashing, gameplay design, all of it. I am curious to see by jumping back and forth to the Middle Earth board if you've gotten some fresh ideas that you could bring into the Minas Tirith board. I think bouncing back and forth will not only help avoid burnout, but you'll constantly be learning and trying new techniques/strategies/efficiencies that will only make both projects better in my opinion. So, now that you have the basic layout of the corner sections for Terra, I think it's time to go back to Minas Tirith with what you've learned over the past month.
You know it's a big build where you probably need a ladder to get from the bottom to the top of the trench 😂. Loving the build. My favourite will always be Lord of The Rings but if the views are holding for these then keep bashing it out. Such a great build!!
I think you should change to having one large project going on at one time but maybe throwing some smaller projects intermingled. I think the viewers get satisfaction from seeing things completed xx

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA thanks mate :)
This video has made me care about the imperial palace for the first time. Very inspiring
Awww thank you mate :)
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand like drop pod landed
Let the siege begin!!!!!!
EDIT: Holy emperor balls that bridge / valley trench setup is EPIC
Haha thank you mate :)
Bro is one of the most underrated WH channels on youtube holy
Yes. Where are all those potential subscribers?! 140ks subs is kind of low, when have to make a living from it.
Underrated? Bro is practically the White Scars during the Heresy
its because he was mostly MESBG channel for years, but the builds were awesome either way!
Imperial palace, it's so close to being done.
I think I'm in the mood for some Middle Earth. I'm for sure hyped about the Legions Imperialis build, especially because I play the game, but I love your Middle Earth builds.
Thank you mate :)

Absolutely stoked I could brighten up the lunch break my mate. Enjoy the rest of the shift!
Imperial Palace or Middle Earth?? WHAT VIDEO SHOULD BE NEXT?? Thank you guys
Middle earth please
Middle earth!
Middle Earth! Finish the Dol Guldur board!

you should make a orbital macro cannon, it could make a perfect central piece !
Yesssss Draco that's an awesome idea, maybe on the top of the bastion!!!

That's a fantastic idea. The boards are *SO sick* and probably don't get used over much.

I actually had planned to dabble, but my new baby arrived early and knocked out that part of the schedule haha
Hammerhal would make me moister than an Idoneth in heat. The AoS architectural aesthetic is super cool and high fantasy so would be a significant departure from the also gorgeous Middle Earth builds
if only he did warhammer fantasy, so much potential that no one really does anything with

My heart stopped when he said "scrap them for parts". Good lord.
The palace is shaping up really nice! Another banger of a video, and don't worry, for me atleast it still scratched that completionist itch :D
would love to see Middle Earth again, love both builds, but variation would be nice

Whether that be due to interest or starting a new job I don't know. Hopefully, that helps in some way :)
Keep up the awesome work, I am really loving the new format and the finish portions at the end of the video gives a satisfying ending for the videos.
Thank you for the honest input Richo, really helpful stuff mate, I think you'll be a happy little hobbyist come friday ;)
Very nice! Looking forward to some more Osgiliath stuff!!
Amazing stuff! Rooting for your channel to grow, and grow, and grow!
looks good , thx for resumen 👌👍
Just finish the Palace. And get some Epic minis on there so we can appreciate the scale.
MIDDLE EARTH!!! :D Love what you're doing with the Imperial Palace, super inspiring, and love everything you're working on, but I do have my favorite game from GW, so there's that, :)
HAha mine too thanks Centaur!
Let’s GO! Thanks for the end of week Zorpazorp video!
Looking good, Lachie! As I said in the last video, I think you should continue the Imperial Palace to completion before you move to Minas Tirith (no matter how much I'm anticipating that board!). I feel like if you stop partway (or when you're so close to the end), the series will lose momentum, and it will be difficult for viewers to pick up again~
Nah mate, don't worry about this "completionist buzz"
this is a SOLID update regarding the actual board. sure, the details are usually the most fun, but seeing the actual shape you are going for nearly completed... It kinda feels like I can finally grasp what your vision is for this, and that's super important as well
Keep doing what you're doing, either slowly or quickly, but please don't fret too much about the "progress-per-video" so to speak
Ah thank you so much buddy, that's exactly why I was so happy with this part, the actual silhouette I've been dreaming of from the start is almost finally there!!!
So, I am absolutely loving these videos as a scenery designer myself, but I am, again, BEGGING you to PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE put some sort of numbering or something to make these videos simple to watch in the correct order. As a newcomer to your channel, I would honestly have just moved on and found something else to watch if I didn't have a vested interest in seeing how you achieve some of the things you do.
there's an ordered playlist on the homepage now, I forgot to mention it in this video :) :) I'll sort it all out for next vid haha
Been watching for so long, and I just cannot stress how much you’ve helped me realize my desire to get into warhammer, and now I am. I play once a month with two buddies, and you’ve been the one to inspire my desire to play. Huge thanks, you’ve helped me realize my dream of playing WH40k (and even now I am preparing my T’au Empire Combat Patrol team)
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Ah that is so awesome mate, absolutely love to hear that!!!!
Its missing something.
The emperor sits there on his golden throne.
GOLDEN..
I think we need some shiny stuff. Some proper shiny stuff. Some REAL gold for the details. This project deserves it
Spot on Marty! All in good time :) Boring grey first then bling!
Looking forward to a bat rep for this board. Also my head cannon is that the 28mm titans are actually sized for epic scale so that was the best thing to see!
I share that head canon
I am once again here to remind you: Banners! Imperial Fists, Imperial Guard Regiments, Custodes. YOur stone mansion needs colour ! MAybe you could find a way to honour your patreons with them?
Yeah that's the plan!! Just have to get all the base work down first :)
I know you tend to ever exspand your builds but it never ceaces to amaze me mega mega MEGA stuff man.
And i still think rotating trough projects is a great way to keep folks intrested, i know i'll keep coming back
Thank you so much buddy :) :)
this video was awesome! Looking forward to seeing more of the palace coming together! It's always inspiring seeing your insane terrain work!
Dune , Warhammer, star wars , middle earth , I don't care just as long as zorpazorp is making videos (especially in this format) I'm interested!
You're the best moosey
Dude, I just enjoy your energy and builds. I'm happy to watch and support whatever you decide to do for your next video! Most important thing for me, is that you continue to enjoy what you're doing, as that's what comes across in your videos :).
Thank you so much mate!!!
Such a huge amount of progress made, don't beat yourself up about "not as much completed" this time, looking amazing and can't wait to see more of this 😊
Or some cheeky Minas Tirith if you want a break 😉
Thank you so much Davy and for the ongoing support :) :) :) Yeah it was a slog haha but didn't feel as 'finished' as other checkpoints have.
Amazed at the progress and where youve got to and the work youve put in from where you....feels like we😂....started we cant loose you😔, youl be a legend for this. 💥💯 more of sorry 😊
Thank you so much John, really stoked you're enjoying it mate!!!
It’s looking very good but it’s a grey city backed by grey walls. I think throwing some giant magnetized banners could help break up the slabs of grey and you could make one that’s a list of those who helped build the palace and those defending it (patron supporters)
Already in the works my friend!!! going to have them with awesome burns and catching fire and stuff haha :) :)
I am so incredibly impressed with the honesty in how you’ve made this and being so welcoming to feedback, I seriously hope this works out for you. These are incredible and deserve way more, I can’t wait to see more.
And I always love seeing fellow kiwis succeeding in the world
You are most welcome mate, and thank you for your gracious words
What is better than 2 trenches? 3 trenches! great video as usual :) personally I would like to see Minas Tirith next, but will watch whatever comes out anyway
Hahahahahah, FOUR TRENCHES NEXT TIME! (no not really haha) Thank you so much Sahidko, for your ongoing support and enduring generosity mate :)
This is so epic and awesome on figuring out how to more efficiently prime this stuff. This is going to be an amazing piece for a large event to game on! Heck, even just as a large display piece with minis on it for a larger con one day, this is just amazing. I'm running out of words to through out here but seriously, job well done!
Ah thank you mate, aaaaaaand now I'm going to make some toast haha
Don’t play tabletop but seeing the build come together is great. What is epic scale?
Like super small, so each soldier is about 6-8mm high :)
Damn I am loving this build! Awesome stuff Lachy, hit us with either project I'm keen! 😁
Haha hell yeah bro, stoked as you're keen for both, thank you mate!
I get what you mean about feeling like the video didn't give the completionist vibes we enjoy, but still loved it mate! You integrated the plastic super well and I'm very keen to see the next result of your efforts. That super tall bastion has me excited!!
Thank you SO MUCH Angus you proper legend
Does your wife ever pop her head in the room when you're walking around talking to yourself and film you privately? I bet that's hilarious
Looking great.
She used to but it's so normal now it's not even an odd occurence haha
Imperial Palace!!! Love Middle Earth, but I want to see this project through completion and battle report.
Me too Nicky!
I don't care if you build the imperial palace or middle earth stuff. I just want to see you building amazing terrain. Huge thanks for your videos❤
Imagine how long it woud take if you couldnt move so damn fast😂. Absolutely great build, would love to play a match on this table! Great channel!
Hahahahahaha thanks Gonzo! The Flash but if he decided to just make warhammer scenery
Loving the palace vids. Keep up the good work!
I think there are two types of "completion" that are stratifying, the first is actual full completion, detail, paint, greeblies, etc. The second is adding significant new things and having clear progress, this video falls in to the second, yes its not fully complete, but you have added quite a lot and got base paint down so its clear something has been accomplished.
Completely agree Andrew!!!
@EricsHobbyWorkshop is building a 40k scale Imperator, it looks amazing
He's a handsome devil too!
When it comes to detailing, maybe think about the access to those titanic guns as well. The Energy weapons might need huge cables and stuff like the rocket launcher and canons somehow have to be reloaded by crane. The ammunition also has to be transported to the guns, so you could for example place some railways which lead from the gun to an entrance in a building.
Ooooh yes those are great ideas Xenos!!!
keep going on the imperial palace mate. that was a mad video. Also i agree keep switching up what your doing in the background to avoid that hobby burn out and when you swing back to middle earth it'll be an epic video with a lot of work already completed. keep it up your smashing it.
Thank you so much Richo, and cheers mate I reckon it's a good plan!!!
I'd be really interested to see what your process is for initially planning these projects. Do you sketch things out, do you create a basic, customisable plan or do you just go headlong into your gut instincts and just smash it out on the fly?
A huge mix, for this build basically what you see now and more was completely planned out by day two of video one, back in November, but then I adapt and improvise as the build comes together :)
Fun fact. If you look up "mad lad" it's just a photo of Lockey. 🤣😂
I'm a middle earth guy but I will always watch these videos as you've hooked me and your projects are simply unreal and need to be appreciated. Looking forward to the next one and the updated Minas Tirith.
HAHAHAHAHA Thank you so much Nicky! I'm doing a MT day today working on the main gate (shhh spoilers) which is a nice break and then I'll decide tomorrow if it's one more Palace video or I keep going and knock MT over! Thank you as always mate!
@@Zorpazorp Looking forward to the update and always happy to support!
Imperial palace... middle earth... their both epic projects and amazing, how to decide! 😁
Haha that's what I like to hear Jonny!!!! Thank you mate :) :)
I like switching back and forth between the two projects. The Middle earth content has me tempted to pick up a starter box of that game.
Ooooh yayy!!!!
I want to see the battle report for this! I loved the Mark of Calth video...
This... This I will love even more!!!
Long term plan is SoT on this board in Calth style if we can get MoC working on second channel :)
Imperial Palaaaaaaaace... No intend to make you go insane... But it is really really "epic" to watch...
Hehehehehe thank you mate!
after seeing the amazing work that you do, honestly i'm here for whatever you wanna build next!
Ah cheers Joshy!!
I am just in awe at the massive amount of work you got done in just a couple weeks. This Imperial Palace project seems to be bringing in all your strengths: integrating foam and plastic together, layout/design, kitbashing, gameplay design, all of it. I am curious to see by jumping back and forth to the Middle Earth board if you've gotten some fresh ideas that you could bring into the Minas Tirith board. I think bouncing back and forth will not only help avoid burnout, but you'll constantly be learning and trying new techniques/strategies/efficiencies that will only make both projects better in my opinion. So, now that you have the basic layout of the corner sections for Terra, I think it's time to go back to Minas Tirith with what you've learned over the past month.
You are absolutly crazy !!!!
May the God-Emperor be with you !
Thank you mate!!!
This board is insane! More imperial palace would be good. Keep up the good work.
Thanks! Will do!
Sneaky late night upload and im here for it! This is my favourite zorpa zorp project to date.
Oh man that imperial palace is *chefs kiss*. GW - Send this man more kits!
Thank you Rob!!!
You know it's a big build where you probably need a ladder to get from the bottom to the top of the trench 😂. Loving the build. My favourite will always be Lord of The Rings but if the views are holding for these then keep bashing it out. Such a great build!!
Hahahaha thanks Jacko, yeah it's pretty beasty, especially once the tower gets added!
😂😂 To paraphrase Jaws movie "You're gonna need a bigger ladder"
Keep it up big dog, I'll watch whatever it is you want to make
Thanks Kommy :) :)
Imperial Palace for the Emperor protects!
Inspiring stuff! More siege of terra please!
Imperial Palace please 😅 and try pausing for a breath occasionally 😂
THERE'S NO TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME
I think you should change to having one large project going on at one time but maybe throwing some smaller projects intermingled. I think the viewers get satisfaction from seeing things completed xx
Agreed thank you mate!
@@Zorpazorp love the content though mate ❤️
As this monster keeps growing and growing, I wonder..... what da hell will you do with it/where will you put it once it's complete????.....
