Here's me old mucker, John Curtis, with his scratch built Tower of Orthanc.
It's a mile away from PJ's film version but is based more on original sketches by JRR himself.
I'm hoping John may drop a line with construction details.
To prove that his Orthanc is transportable, John fetched it to Tilly's Tea Room where I took the second shot, the first being his own taken on an egg timer or something.
The crane is just out of shot.
