Hi Guys, it´s been a while since posting something here but finally I found time to work on a prop and finish something, that is worth showing here. I built the dwarven sword Thorin uses before he gets Orcrist. It is built completely from plywood, that got glued together to form the grip and...

Some more pictures for reference from the last artbook: The sword in the second picture belongs to Thror, it was just in the way while scanning. Hope this helps.

Re: The Hobbit - Erebor Dwarf Armour - Weapons - WIP One more picture of the helmet from the last artbook: hope this helps someone. Greetings, Gericke

Hi, I finally got the latest artbook of the Hobbit and there is a picture of the black arrow in it. The text is in german, so here´s the rough translation for it: The text says that the prop is more than 2m (79 inches) long. The shaft should´ve been wood, but it was not stiff enough. So they...

Hi, thank you for the template! It´s always great when someone shares his work. Do you have any pictures of your finished gauntlet?? would love to see how this template looks like put together. Greetings, Gericke

WOW! Thats an amazing idea, looking forward to see the result...

Hi bugman72, thank you for your help! The parts are all there I just didn´t recognize it.

Hi, i'm just starting to build the nightingale armor with my girlfriend and when i printed out the pieces from the pepakura viewer some pieces are missing, for example the parts for the upper legs. I found that they are somewhere in the file but not in the section where the other parts are and...

Thank you for the File! It is really great that people share their work, I wish i could bring up such things.

Hi, what are the dimensions you assumed for your build? I´d really like to try building this impressive weapon, but i´m not sure about the size. Did you make it "dwarf-size" or did you scale it for your size? Greetings from germany, Gericke

Hi, maybe you can use the Atomizer out of one of those E-Cigarettes? Or am I wrong thinking that they work with this technique? Just a thought, maybe give it a try... Greetings, Gericke

I can't belive it, I've been looking around in the Microsoft Apps for more than an hour yesterday and today and did not get to see the ad for the hobbit! I guess this is a joke... I'll try again later, but I'm not very motivated anymore -.-

Has anyone already found a way to get the file? I´m trying to get this ad but i don't see any ads at the moment. That is btw pretty frutrating normally you have ads all over everything and today not one thing -.- Hopefully somebody else is more successful. Greetings, Gericke

Hi, really good idea to enlarge the contact area with the copper-tape. The only thing I was wondering about is why don´t you tin the end of your wire that connects to the inverter? This way the soldering joint will not need that much heat to create a good connection. I do it this way when im...

That is a cool idea! I´ve seen people building the mjolnir stickin in the mud, but I´ve not seen the thing with the platform. That could be definitely on my list of things I´ll do. Keep on with the good work!
