  • Best Lord of the Rings Scenery since the Bigatures? Let's find out...
    Check out the Wētā Workshop Grey Havens Diorama here: www.wetanz.com/grey-havens

    Ever since I was eight years old I have been obsessed with crafting little dioramas and wargaming scenery from Lord of the Rings, mostly because of seeing the Wētā Workshop team working on the massive Bigatures made for the films. These bigatures were just incredible, 72 massive models of a bunch of locations from the 7metres Tall minas Tirith at 1/72 scale, to a fully watertight third scale Grey Havens Elven ship, they were an essential part of Peter Jackson’s gritty realist aesthetic for the films, and just a massive source of inspiration for a young crafter. It has been a long term fantasy of mine to be able to see these massive bigatures in the flesh, to walk among them and see the ultimate reference for making my own stupidly massive middle earth scenery, Today we take a massive step towards that fantasy.
    A massive thank you to everyone at Wētā Workshop for inviting us back, it is just an insanely humbling experience to be able to continue to work with you guys, with a very special shout out to Louise and the unbelievably awesome Jules German for making this all possible.

    Wow. What a journey and hopefully this is just the beginning. To support more of this madness go and buy some cool stuff from Wētā Workshop you absolute legends. Make sure you check out the Grey Havens Diorama here: www.wetanz.com/grey-havens
    Some big 'thank you's to fire out, firstly to everyone at Wētā Workshop who made this possible, Jules, Louise, Caitlin, Leonard, Bawal, Shanti, Charlotte, Simon and Jules again because he deserves to be thanked twice.
    Another big thanks to Jimmy for the help with the Rock molds, and Andy for sorting me with with some varnish on short notice.
    And thank you so much to all of you guys for watching, this video means so much to me, and I really really hope you enjoyed it. Comment below where else in Middle Earth you'd love to see me tackle using this format!!
    Big love, Lachie.

  • @SimonMoston
    @SimonMoston 5 месяцев назад +63

    What a privilege it must have been to collaborate with Weta on this awesome project. I adore the Grey Havens/Lindon design, so distinct from the other elven architecture we get to see in the movies. Beautiful stuff mate. Also, you are an absolute menace with that blowtorch...

    • @Zorpazorp
      @Zorpazorp  5 месяцев назад +10

      Haha thank you Simon, same here it's really beautiful, I can't wait to make more off the cliffs. I've already though of a modular system so I can still do a mega pour with foundations for all the structures submerge din water but still keep al lthe pieces removable to I can use them for 1st age locations for some Silly action!

    So damn proud of you man. You’ve come so far from that original Osgiliath board, and your passion and skill are such a joy to witness. “My friends, you bow to no one” is the scene that always makes me cry, even outside the context of the film. Keep it up man, you’re killing it.

    This is absolutely peak Zorpazorp! It has everything we’ve come to know and love. A ridiculously huge Lord of the Rings board from a beloved location, a Weta Workshop collaboration, iconic location filming, leopard spotted plaster rocks, geek gaming scenics, and of course, Rustoleum grey zenithal highlights. I just can’t wait to see just how big this build is going to get, you’ve really outdone yourself this time Lachie ☺️.

    @Raptorclaw62 5 месяцев назад +1

    So many tear-worthy moments in LotR! Boromir's death, Theoden's death (and Theodred's funeral, too), Aragorn's coronation and the "my friends, you bow to no one", and finally, the Grey Havens scene. Moments that make me cry every time I get to them.

  • @kungdswe2940
    @kungdswe2940 5 месяцев назад +1

    Neither of those scenes, but the Theoden speach to the Roharims before the charge down the hills still make me cry like a baby.

  • @nakenmil
    @nakenmil 5 месяцев назад +3

    You make this process seem almost effortless, Lachie, you're underselling how much effort and work this is! I'm honestly gobsmacked, and so happy that you get the inside opportunities like this. Good on ya! I've noticed a little thing that somewhat amused me: it seems like the designers over at Weta didn't really like eaves, since most of their roofs stop pretty much at the wall underneath - at least for the Gondorian and Grey Haven sets (and iirc also in their Dale designs). Just a weird little observation, lol.
    As for a scene that always gets me, I think it's only in the extended edition, but when Theoden is rejuvenated and goes to the grave mound of his son, he says: "No parent should have to bury their child," and breaks down crying. That completely wrecks me. What a powerful performance.

  • @jamestyler3039

    Gobsmacked. This is just so awesome. Kudos to Weta for their assistance and wonderful to see so many tried and tested techniques brought into play to make a truly beautiful board. And the dash of a Lauchie mishap too, though cricket is an acceptable distraction of course. NZ might not only become a destination for fans of the films but maybe fans of ME SBG too at some point in the future?

    I discovered this channel last year and now I'm looking for updates religiously, this is the most imagination kindling project ever! (I'm three months into my own Gondor city board now copying your techniques). The whole time I've been thinking what top five locations I'm looking forward to seeing you do. Rivendell, Moria, Minas Morgul, Umbar and Dol Amroth I concluded, but now seeing the Grey Havens come together, I'm totally sold. It looks amazing already. Besides Minas Tirith, this is the project of yours I'm most excited to see develop. Don't ever stop! There's an army of people all around the world whose wildest scenery fantasies are being fulfilled through you! Love from London, Alex LT

    Mithlond is without a doubt my favourite location in all of Middle Earth and Beleriand. What it stands for in Tolkiens Mythology, Círdan, its emotional impact to end the story in the trilogy, all of it. I do hope you finish and get to play on it in a timely manner. I often fear that you lose track of your projects and my previous favourite, Dol Guldur for a long time felt like it had fallen by the wayside. Hopefully we can witness the completion of this soon.

    @Crendermin 4 месяца назад

    I think Boromir's death is more of a tear jerker because it comes as a surprise, his story coming to a sudden stop after he was belittled for a good part of the movie for his mind being affected by the ring. And his death came as a surprise to everyone, both the characters and the viewers, attacked by orcs and riddled with arrows, followed by a the dying heartfelt words of a man who truly just wanted to help, his thoughts focused on the protection of others over himself.

    This is absolutely insane Lachie! Great work and nothing like it out there. I hope you might get around to The Argonath at some point? The scene that gets me most emotional is Theoden's speech - "..a sword day - a red day - ere the sun rises!" Gets me every time.

      Ah me toooooo Andy, that is a big scene for any Rohan addict haha, I really love the Pelennor, especially in the book. The film,s did an amazing job of capturing it, but Theoden loses a bit of his character arc in the necessary changes madefor the adaptation.

    This was just perfection dude. I know I say that about a lot of your vids (and I meant it everytime) but this just takes everything to a level previously unattainable. Also feel a large amount of pride to have slice and slot sitting alongside the amazing digital sculpts from WETA.

    So.. it looks like you are apprenticing at Weta now. That is actually amazing. Cool to have seen the journey that has lead you there.

    • @Zorpazorp

      @mennorach 5 месяцев назад +1

      Yes. That sounds good. Modularity in terrain pieces is a must. If you come up with a good, fast way of building fleets, let us know :) And as an answer to the question, The charge of the Rohirrim: "and the hosts of mordor wailed, and terror took them, and they fled, and died and the hoofs of wrath rode over them." That brings me to tears..@@Zorpazorp

      @@Zorpazorp do you have plans for a huge tournament or narrative campaign going on on the mega board once its finished? I can relate to the work/family vs tabletop challenge. Personally I'm more of a 40K guy, but following this project has made me curious on the GW Lord of the rings line. However, so far I have slated my thirst on War of the Ring the boardgame. If you haven't tried it I would definitely recommend it... once you find the time in 2033 or there about 😅
