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!
@@MGMac_ He definitely went through a lot of suffering in WWI, and he accomplished some incredible literary works, but he was ultimately a deeply flawed man. Just, worth remembering the whole picture before praising wholesale.
This was really different and very cool, especially watching you make the elf from scratch. The swampy base looked perfect and that sculpt of Frodo was quite striking. A very fitting tribute to the film.
It turned out really great! The elf looks like he’s staring directly at Frodo. And the Lorean modeling gag got a belly laugh from me. One of my favorites of yours so far!
I’ve just finished marathoning the 3 Hobbit and 3 LOTR movies (extended editions). This scene has long stuck in my mind. I’m so thrilled you chose this very moment to memorialize. Your skills at modeling and painting are impressive, to say the least. As a fan of The Hobbit and LOTR for 40-50 years and a fan of the movies for, now, 20 years, I love this.
There’s no shortage of lotr diorama ideas for the future! I’d love to see more! West gate of Moria w/ the watcher Aragorn and Co. arriving at Minas Tirith Aragorn summoning the oathbreakers Caras Galadhon Bridge of Khazad-dûm Amon Hen part 3 Argonath Helms Deep/ Glittering caves The fellowship going past that one rock Frodo holding the ring above the fires And that’s not even counting and of the Silmarillion locations!
Definitely one of my favorite parts of the movie, when Frodo falls into the swamp. You brought the scene leading up to that out perfectly. Amazing job, as always. 👍
This is the scene in the film that actually freaked me out. The sleep paralysis feeling I got from watching Frodo unable to look away really resonated with me because I often had sleep paralysis as a teen. I didn’t see a dead elf though, I would see the Beverly hillbillies grandma in a rocking chair in my room. I would have rather seen the elf haha. Your face sculpt of the deceased elf is dead on, pun intended. His hair is glorious I don’t blame Lorean Paris for hiring him. I bet the layer of sand helped the foliage stick really well so not a total loss
We need more creepy dioramas. And man, your resin game is on point. I feel so intimidated by resin. I have seen how easily it can go wrong in other projects. Yours turned out awesome.
Always been a FAN OF TOLKIEN! I been A collector so to speak sense I was a kid! LONG AGO! I have every Lego Set they made from the movies! Never Opened! And a HOLE collection of books and collectables! THIS WAS AN AMAZING BUILD! SAVED IT! LOVE THESE! more LOTR PLEASE!!
Your videos have helped me with my depression. Thank you so much. The way you talk sounds genuine and you seem like a cool dude. I appreciate you a lot.
This was in my opinion the creepiest scene in the 2nd movie. The part when Frodo was staring at the corpse underwater. Seeing that white pale dead elf still kinda creeps me out. Great diorama btw!
I’ve spent the last three days binge watching the extended editions of the LOTR trilogy, this video was a perfect addition to my playlist. Amazing work, as always.
Nicely done, the Frodo figure is especially nice, the face really looks like Elijah Wood. I am always amazed at how real and natural your dioramas turn out.
I love the little details you add, like water/dirt on Frodo's feet. And all the effort put into the elf even though you can't see him fully that well in the end. Awesome work as usual.
Really good job on Frodo's face! And I do like the glowing eyes. Also, good save on the imperfections in the resin. It seems so much of being good at a skill is knowing how to save the work you have already done and not have to redo it.
Jeez man, you are better than you give yourself credit for. I’ve fallen out of modeling for awhile and your videos are inspiring me to sit back at my table. Thank you.
I love these resin sculptures and the cool western art projects you make!! Its so entertaining and its always so cool to see the end result! I found your channel two weeks ago and i love getting back to your videos
This is perfect! You not only captured that particular scene well, you also nailed the overall spirit of the entire film. It really is hard to believe that this movie is 20 years old; it seems like just yesterday when it first came out. Though my favorite projects of yours are from your original, "Wild, Imaginary West" series, I wouldn't mind seeing more LOTR projects, as well! Thanks for posting this!
Hilarious I love the personality that you being it’s what makes you, you. And you are great so thank you for sharing, thank you for your time and thank you for your creation, truly.
What an amazing diorama, Lord Of The Rings is an amazing series. I am just learning how to build dioramas, I am watching all your videos to learn more.
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!
Literally just finished watching all of the movies this past week. They’re my absolute favorite. I also feel very old now, I didn’t realize it’s been twenty years?! Crazy.
This turned out really awesome, man. The painting looked pretty good. You captured that murky water as well as the elf really well too. The lights were a nice touch. I loved all the humour you scavenged for this project, always looking forward to your next project. Cheers!
most are without talking/explanation so i enjoy it when someone really explains what he does/uses and whats hard/more easy. plus you have a quite clear and smooth voice. keep it up. its a hobby i would like to do myself but it seems way too expensive for me + you seem to have much patience (also a think i don't really have but would like to learn)
i annually watch the LOTR trilogy, such a master-piece ... this is a really unique moment for sure to capture in a diorama.. beautifully done good sir!
I for one happen to love the elf-loaf armor.
Leaf-like, loaf-like, same difference
What. BOTH of my hero’s??
Eloafen armor
I really look forward to each video that all you guys put out!

Rough, those soldiers in both wars went through complete hell.
Tolkien was such an amazing person

@@stargateMimhi Tell us what you know about deep flaws
@@astrovarius543 I'm not wikipedia. He was a rather racist and sexist man, you can look up the details yourself.

ΟΚ. That was amazing. I really like LOTR and this diorama is an amazing tribute . 👍👍👍
The part where the hair was blowing in the wind still has me laughing. Hilarious. Well done as always buddy.
"Loréan" 😂
It turned out really great! The elf looks like he’s staring directly at Frodo. And the Lorean modeling gag got a belly laugh from me. One of my favorites of yours so far!
Jeez, only just realised the Lothlorien joke.
What paints did he use to paint Frodo,was it acrylic???
Your little hints of humor throughout the video are hilarious. They definitely add to the already impressive diorama. Keep up the good work!

If you like lotr dioramas I'd like to invite you to check out my channel. I build dioramas of my favourite lotr scenes.
I want to see the fall of boromir
@@karebear4485 a scene with Aragorn holding Boromir as he passes into the west would be beautiful and sorrowful
Sauron at the cracks of mount doom
The illusion of depth in the water is fantastic, it feels so spooky!
Definitely one of my favorite parts of the movie, when Frodo falls into the swamp. You brought the scene leading up to that out perfectly. Amazing job, as always. 👍
You did an amazing job recreating this scene, and 20 years? wow, where does time go to?!
I love LoTR and had no idea this is the 20 year anniversary today! This is insanely beautiful and really made my morning.

Probably the first video that brought me to your channel. Love your work and am always impressed to see the results. Keep up the good job
Pouring that swamp water was haunting. Felt like you were entombing the dead elf. Great build.
PLEASE MAKE MORE LOTR DIORAMAS PLEASE!!! THIS VIDEO WAS AWESOME!
I like the theatrical cuts,but I love the extended cuts. They add so much detail to the movies.
So good! The light in the eyes is such a nice subtle detail. That hair commercial got me good.
Always been a FAN OF TOLKIEN! I been A collector so to speak sense I was a kid! LONG AGO! I have every Lego Set they made from the movies! Never Opened! And a HOLE collection of books and collectables! THIS WAS AN AMAZING BUILD! SAVED IT! LOVE THESE! more LOTR PLEASE!!
Your videos have helped me with my depression. Thank you so much. The way you talk sounds genuine and you seem like a cool dude. I appreciate you a lot.
That Kylo aren’t joke just earned this man my subscription. Congratulations on the diorama.
the swamp effect with the dark resin is crazy, one of my best diorama that you did
This was in my opinion the creepiest scene in the 2nd movie. The part when Frodo was staring at the corpse underwater. Seeing that white pale dead elf still kinda creeps me out. Great diorama btw!
Makes me wanna watch the two towers again and I've seen it countless times 😂😁 your work is beyond beautiful man keep em coming 👍
Incredible. You're diorama really captures that feel from the scene. LOTR is still an impactful trilogy, today.
Well done matching the colors beneath the water exactly with how it looks in the film!
This was probably one of my favorite videos of yours, I loved everything about it
3:10 cracks me up still😂

That's downright spooky how good this turned out. I especially like Frodo's head, hair and face. Just like the movie.
One of my favourite of all time.
Thanks for creating this.
Jeez man, you are better than you give yourself credit for. I’ve fallen out of modeling for awhile and your videos are inspiring me to sit back at my table. Thank you.
Stunning work, love it...“Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.”
Talented, nerdy, and funny. Perfection
I love these resin sculptures and the cool western art projects you make!! Its so entertaining and its always so cool to see the end result! I found your channel two weeks ago and i love getting back to your videos
The work you’ve done with this diorama is beyond epic. With all the scenery and characters from LOTR, you can create so much awesomeness 👍👍👍
Loved the hair ad, was a great add on! Loved the humor.
Always love these videos, keep it up.
Why the hell did i get chills at the end credits? Bravo good sir!
Love it. Your humor is on point. Certainly won’t complain if you do any more LOTR. Keep up the awesome work.

I love this mans sense of humor.
This was awesome!! I absolutely love anything LOTR, and this was a great scene in the movies. Well done, happy to watch your scratch talent.
Beautiful tribute to some of my favourite films/books/stories of all time. Thank you as always
I’m addicted to these videos
The best project ever!!!! Congratulations!!!
Id love too see more Lotr dioramas in the future!
This is another favorite, one that my wife really liked.
The "Lorean Paris" Part was perfect! Made me laugh so much! xD
watching your detailed process is very therapeutic. thank you!
Man, your crafting AND your production are just *chef's kiss*
Hobby time? Masterpiece time, that's it. Great work, dude.
Man, I am so glad I found this channel, these are all really neat and fun to watch! Thank you for the content!
This is the first video I watched and don't even know how the algorithm directed me here but great vids! And the build still gives me chills!
I'm used to seeing you work with smaller scale sets so it was awesome to see you paint the details on Frodo!!
What an amazing diorama, Lord Of The Rings is an amazing series. I am just learning how to build dioramas, I am watching all your videos to learn more.
I think the elf armor looks fantastic, and hey-even if you think it looks like bread, bread is natural too!
It’s looks sooo great. Love the lord of the rings. Super happy you did it. Thanks for inspiring me
Great choice of a movie moment and a stunning build. I love it! 🌹
Favorite video you've made so far 😄 love the references sprinkled throughout!
Amazing! I always love your commentary its always down to earth and you realize you make mistakes and you comment on them i love it!
That turned out great. Might have to re-watch LOTR again for the umpteenth time now. Thx for sharing.
One of my favorites! Love LOTR!!!!
Seeing this was posted five minutes ago as I’m sitting here seeking inspiration for a diorama I’m making is absolutely perfect timing.
Very nice diorama. The figurines turns out amazingly beautiful. Frodos cape is stunning. 😃
Beautiful diorama as always.
Very subtle humour as well, I was completely absorbed in that build thankyou
The lotr references, apart from the piece it self ofc, were the best xD they made this video sooo fun
Definitely my favourite UA-cam channel

I love that he does lord of the ring builds
This is so badass, please use more lights in resin it gives a beautiful effect!
Literally just finished watching all of the movies this past week. They’re my absolute favorite. I also feel very old now, I didn’t realize it’s been twenty years?! Crazy.

i love lord of the rings! Its my favorite film! Thank you so much for this video. i love it!
Dude, I just remembered how my dad took me to see the first LotR movie as a kid. You're laying it down hard...
This is the first video of yours I’ve seen and I’m HERE for the content
Stunning as usual! Love your channel, every week I'm curious to see what you'l make and I love it each time. Have a great week!
Great paint job on Frodo, and cool idea overall.
Love it, great work there. It amazes me how easy you make it all look.
3D printing has really changed the game for modeling and Diorama
Love this build. I adore the LOTR and Hobbit movies so much, and this diorama is very true to. Love it.❤❤
most are without talking/explanation so i enjoy it when someone really explains what he does/uses and whats hard/more easy. plus you have a quite clear and smooth voice. keep it up. its a hobby i would like to do myself but it seems way too expensive for me + you seem to have much patience (also a think i don't really have but would like to learn)
Coool.. scary scene watched it on the big screen.. Love the concept story of dead marshes
Came out every bit as eerie as the film. Love it!
Would definitely love more LOTR!!!
Never cease to amaze with your builds.
Awesome paint job on Frodo.
That was a very cool build! Excellent work!
I think a fog machine would work wonders for some of the glamour shots, If you don't have on already, it could be very cool to see in future!
Brilliant job as always!
And as a quick reminder to everyone, YOU DO NOT RECOGNIZE THE BODIES IN THE WATER!!
I'm so glad someone made this reminder, I swear I remember them being in my old high school.
Just rewatched this film, and this is amazing! Great work!
its scary how good this looks great job
i annually watch the LOTR trilogy, such a master-piece ... this is a really unique moment for sure to capture in a diorama.. beautifully done good sir!
