(Middle Earth Outpost) Erebor- The Lonely Mountain

A few weeks ago I started working on a build of Erebor, the Lonely Mountain from The Hobbit. I feel this is going to be a fun build with lots of different possibilities. At the middle earth outpost I selected a place beside a large lake, where Laketown was started and hopefully we can finish in the furture. The mountain is planned to be to full build height, so it can really stand out among the landscape. At the moment I am trying to decide which period to build it in... as it was as the kingdom, or just before the hobbit complete with dragon (this is my current thought, though i need to punch a hole in the entrance) or as it would become following the death of Smaug. Any input from the community would be more than welcome....

Thanks trwe
I am building the mountain, which actually serves me better for the shape and for a hallow mountain to work in. Still need lots more stone.

Here is one of the images I'm working with

I have managed to get the gate and most of the mountain roughed in, and have begun work on the Kings Throne Room, trying to decide on the layout of the interior locations now also. Gonna be a hefty project...

Lonely Mountain - Gate to Erebor (in progress)

I wasn`t, but was also planning to build Laketown and the ruins of Dale.

However this build is in a private outpost, so any help would first require membership... see here
