    The Fellowship of the Ring just turned 20! I decided to build something to celebrate! It's hard to believe that Peter Jackson's LOTR universe was introduced to us so long ago.
    I know that the scene depicted is from The Two Towers, but it seemed like a good diorama concept to attempt.

    Fun fact: Tolkien’s inspiration for the dead marshes came from his time as a soldier in WWI. After a heavy rain, the craters in the field made by artillery shells would fill with water, and if there were any bodies in the crater they would float to just under the surface.
    Ok, so maybe not a fun fact, but maybe interesting? Beautiful build anyway!

    I stumbled upon your videos yesterday and I've been enjoying binging them into the early hours of the morning. Always been a modelling fan myself as for some reason it always felt natural doing it, but watching the elven armor has made it clear why I like it so much: it's going the extra mile to get a better result.
    You gave it a full body armour yet only the top was visible, why bother? Because just in case it's visible, I know I got it covered. This is a practice I do in my everyday life with almost everything: go the extra mile just in case you need that bit of extra oomph and if not, you know you went above and beyond.
    Funny how sometimes a light switches on in the brain and makes you connect things together!
