Sutton Hoo Helmet
The British museum is my favourite museum, and this is my favourite exhibit within it. This is a close up detail of the helmet from the Sutton Hoo Saxon ship burial site near Woodbridge, Suffolk.
The Sutton Hoo ship burial dates to the early 7th century and is one of the most important archaeological finds in England for its size and completeness, far-reaching connections, and the quality and beauty of its contents.
The most popular choice of who was buried at Sutton Hoo has always been Raedwald, who died around AD 625 and had been overlord of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms during his life.
The treasure, including the helmet is now housed at the British museum in London. It is stunning, as is the rest of the treasure, and well worth visiting the museum to see. The actual Sutton Hoo site at Woodbridge in Suffolk, England is also excellent, with replicas of the treasures, and plenty to see, including the burial mounds.

Helm's Deep (also known as the Deeping Coomb) was a large valley in the north-western Ered Nimrais (White Mountains). The valley was blocked over its entire width by the natural series of hills called Helm's Dike and behind that lay the fortress of Aglarond or the Hornburg, at the entrance to the Glittering Caves. A long causeway wound up to the great gate of the fortress itself. Inside the keep there were stables and an armoury, as well as a great hall in the rear which was dug out of the mountainside. There also was a great tower the top of which consisted of the great horn of Helm Hammerhand. The Deep which stood next to the fortress was barred by the long Deeping Wall, which consisted of solid rock except for a small culvert which allowed water from the Deeping Stream to enter; this rendered a fresh supply in sieges of great length, though this small weakness would eventually prove to be the wall's undoing. Access to the fortress from within the Deep was made possible by a long stair which led to the Hornburg's rear gate, where there was a massive system of caves behind the fortress.

I always said:'' I am not able to make Helms Deep, it's just to big''. Well, that's true. I made 2 smaller versions of just the Horn Dike and the Gate, but never the whole thing, ( altought I did try to /failed/)
However, I really wanted to give it a try again. Since I have stoped buying Lego, I knew I wouldn't be able to make it on the scale I wanted to. Like this, it's way to small to make it look accurate (to the movie). Anyway, I tried, and really enjoyed it. It doesn't have all the details it should have, and not all part are how they are supposed to be, all because the lack of bricks I needed. But still, I myself quite like the results, even though it is so ''small''. Also, I don't have any of the sets, so I had to use custom figures.

This was my initial HELMER bought. I got a second one for a HUGE discount [€25->€9], but it was in grey. So to blend these two together, I exchanged half of the drawers.
Funky and easy.

There's something magical about how the thick fog and clouds shift, unveiling glimpses of the hidden landscape. For example, Helm Crag stands out beautifully here as it breaks through the mist, showcasing the unique shape of The Howitzer summit's rocky outcrop. I find it fascinating how these weather conditions can distort our perception of scale; this could easily be a towering 10,000 feet mountain soaring through the clouds, when in reality Helm Crag is actually just a little over 1,000 feet tall.
