    It’s not the “City of Kings,” it’s Minas Tirith. Minas Tirith doesn’t even MEAN city of kings, it means Tower of the Guard after it overtook Osgiliath (Fortress under the Stars) in defense capability. It wasn’t ever called city of kings in the novel. There was no king, just a Steward of the throne (Denethor II) for many, many years. Yes, a king (Anarion) built it, but he originally named it Minas Anor(Tower of the Sun). Around the Second age, they changed the name to Minas Tirith.

    If you’re going to be that big of a Tolkien fan to make this awesome creation, AT LEAST FUCKING NAME IT RIGHT.

    I’m sure his parents are proud. You know, the one’s he still lives with.

    mini-schnauzer: He looks like hes in his 50s or 60s, so his parents are either decrepit and senile, or dead… People with homes and jobs have hobbies… Even ones as grandiose as this.

    purple banana: I totally agree, if “grandoise” is new slang for “shithouse”

    Skulltimo: If it was supposed to be made out of high-quality modeling material, then it wouldn’t be as good as it could, but this is fucking made of matchsticks. I can’t make a stick out of matchsticks. Can you make non-linear buildings out of matchsticks?

    I don’t get where you’re seeing a shithouse, unless you’re talking about his actual house. And everything seems very well organized. So FAIL.

    I wonder if Minas Tirith is rent controlled. It’s a populous city with little room and no expansion outside it’s walls.

    If that’s not made of white chocolate, it’s worthless.
