Scene: Prologue

How better to pay homage to Middle-earth than with a model of the Dark Lord himself? I built Sauron as he appears in the prologue of The Fellowship of the Ring movie, which I felt was always one of the most stunning visuals. It took me upwards of 15 hours to find pieces (woe, O disorganized collection), design, redesign, and construct Sauron, and of course to photograph.

The figure stands ~14 inches tall, so absolutely dwarfs Isildur and Elrond looking on. I'm most proud of the helmet, which was the fiddliest bit but the crown of it all (pun intended). I hope you enjoy, and good luck to everyone!
