Erebor - King Under The Mountain

[Spubbles]

Erebor!
I've token the challenge of building Erebor, a dwarfven strong hold within the Lonely Mountain (From LotR). This project takes up almost an entire jumbo plot making it one of the biggest projects so far (Moria still remains at the top :I).
The stronghold itself will like around 900k stone to build, the strong hold + the mountain will take about 1.6million-2.1million.
The size of the mountain is 318x318 with a hole going down to y:42.
It's estimated that this project will take about 9 months until I can call it complete.

Been awhile since I posted here...
So currently im re-doing Erebor due to me not being satisfied with Erebor currently.

Also, still looking for volunteers to help mine out the hole at Erebor!

 

[Spubbles]

I've decided to re-do the majority of what i've built at Erebor, almost everything has been torn down.

Haven't posted here in quite a while (almost nine months).
I suppose an update is long due for this project...
Here it goes, for the most part; the whole project has been completely modified from it's original "Erebor" idea. Though it will have the same idea of a city under a mountain, the approach in which I will be taking towards this is completely different. The whole Lord of the Rings/Hobbit idea is gone. I found it was very limited in terms of creativity, as well as I found building in that theme extremely boring and unsatisfying (hence rebuilding that Erebor gate twice). Instead of doing an Erebor idea, i've decided to continue to do a city within a mountain, however it will be a modern looking vault city. The base idea of this is the Fallout series vaults and how they have whole communities in vaults. I took this idea to the extreme and am gonna be building a full modern city.

Here's a picture of the progress which has happened since the last update. (I haven't been doing much on this project for the longest time):
