    “It’s a hit on the wallet”... looks at Treebeard.... cries in a corner...
    I almost bought this one, such a shame the tree is missing from the top though. Still flipping awesome for the rest.

      @ElessarTORn  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah TB was a massive hit for anyone but it’s an incredible piece.
      The tree is there but it’s obviously that little thing on top. At that size you just can’t get a tree on it. Honestly I wouldn’t let that hold you back from getting it at some point.

    The model is getting produced again and on pre-order. It’s got a big vertical footprint, but…it‘s Minas Tirith! I might just have to get it

    I really want to get all the weta pieces at some point but sadly they don't keep making them? I've always wondered why. Any idea where to look for these or is it just luck and ebay at this point?
    Instead of the environments I spent all my money on games workshop LOTR range as well as Hobbit which I completed. So I have thousands of minis and characters, hundreds of armies and scenarios in my middle earth dedicated games room. I just think these pieces would literally make it look like a complete miniature middle earth 😍 but as you say...my poor poor wallet
    Love your collection

  • @kingwacky184

    How cool would it not be to have a huge room laid out like a map with all these great pieces in the same room? The floor of the room as a huge map like the one Bilbo and Frodo look at that show everything in middle earth, and on each location on that map would be the correct piece. And you could like walk around the pieces. Not as a exhibit of course that would be to risky but at ones house. That would be a project I would love to dedicate time to.

    Hey is this the same model like in the movie? So the buildings etc. are exactly like in the movie? And are there seven rings? It looks more like 6 but the top is probably the 7th ring right? I am trying to make a map based on the movie.

    • @ElessarTORn
      @ElessarTORn  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It is done from the model that was used in the movie, correct. Yes every ring of Minas Tirith is there.

    I see a lot of these on Ebay at the moment...literally cheap Chinese knock offs... re-casts as they are called. They look pretty nice to and for 180USD + postage.... I gotta say it's tempting as I can't justify the WETA ones... although I am sure something would surely get lost in translation in their recasts.... also the paint job... still tempted.

    Its absolutely beautiful..... But it's not correct to the book...
    The City Wall was the protective stone wall that enclosed Minas Tirith on its lowest level. Its only opening was the Great Gate that pierced the wall at its easternmost point.
    "For the main wall of the City was of great height and marvellous thickness, built ere the power and craft of Númenor waned in exile; and its outward face was like to the Tower of Orthanc, hard and dark and smooth, unconquerable by steel or fire, unbreakable except by some convulsion that would rend the very earth on which it stood."― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings, The Return of the King, "The Siege of Gondor"
