After roughing-in the crater rim, I brought the board into the house to get a feel for size and placement of some of my toys. I also used this as a means to figure out where I want smaller craters to be placed.

This Ringwraith was part of the 'Soldier and Scenes' series of figures from Play Along Toys that was released in 2003 and posted here on the blog back in January 2011. The Chat GPT prompt used here was "place the Ringwraith from the Lord of The Rings at Weathertop". I like the image but should have specified that I wanted him inside the ruins vs. outside on a hill. That's okay though - as an image it stands up well in its own right.

Sometimes I call this the crater rim, other times mountains, still at other times referring to them as hills. Whatever - you know what I mean. This is the really messy part of working with Styrofoam, cutting off a few pieces of foam and roughing out the shapes. Then gluing them down on the board. Then vacuuming. Then doing it all over again. Not having room for a wonderfully large crater, I opted for a semi-circular design which will still give me a wide latitude of photo creativity (I hope!)

After a long dry spell in which I did not notice Peter Jackson's LOTR trilogy being played on TV, it has seen a comeback and is being shown fairly regularly now. That re-ignited the interest I have in these Play Along Toys figures which came out ~2004 and which I posted immediately after the blog started in Oct 2010. The only prompt for this figure was to remove the base and place in realistic terrain.
