lord of the rings

Hey all, back again. Sometimes it feels like I'm using the forum as a backup drive of all my WIP pics, but then I realize the RPF is exactly why I started taking WIP pics in the first place. ANYWAY, Faramir. We're gonna start with sewing the shirt; considering the number of layers, I don't...

Hello all! Just getting around to sharing some of my projects from the last year or so. I just got into propmaking about a year ago, and have been having a blast. I've been inspired in large part by a bunch of the awesome projects I've seen here, so I figured it's only fair to share my work and...

I've been working on my collection for a few years now and I'm always adding new items. Most of what's in my collection is scratch built. Full size 3D printed baby Groot I finished. Mal's gun from Firefly - 3D print. SE-14R blaster - scratch build with a couple 3D printed parts. E-11B...

With My Dwarf build V1 over, this is a thread to go over how i went about putting this together. Above all i started off with finding tons of Reference, Be it the Fantastic Chronicles books from WETA, browsing around online, or others on the RPF who had made there own threads. With it being...

I am a long time Dwarf fan, ever since I was a boy and first read the hobbit I fell in love with them. I'm looking to start a Thrain armour build and am under no illusions this will be a test. I also don't expect it to be a quick build but I want this to be as close to accurate as possible...

Hey with Comic expo coming up i wanna see if i can throw together a set of foam nazgul armour, if i can get some help getting screen grabs, measurements patters, and more, i think together we can get a pretty good looking set out

I wanted to share my latest costume project - it's been awhile since I posted here. I don't have a ton of WIP pics (I'm so bad at that) but I have a few. Here is the final costume. ARMOR With the exception of the helm, the armor is made from sintra. Just as a note since sintra contains PVC...

I am working on making a replica of the sword Sting from the Lord of the Rings films. I am making it out of MDF and have been looking at various options for the elvish inscription. The plans I'm following (available here: http://www.instructables.com/id/Sting-Lord-of-the-Rings/) call for burning...

UPDATE: This has now been added to our site: http://www.magnoliprops.com/gondor-map-maps-p-572.html -------ORIGINAL POST FOLLOWS-------------- A few people have expressed interest in this Second-Age Elvish map of Gondor: I would be redrawing the entire thing by hand, so it's a big...

Hey all, just wondering if anyone had the UC Legolas Knives and Scabbards that would be willing to send me some HD images I canuse for reference? The dream would be to buy a set, but that's not really possible these days lol. Thanks!!

Hi guys I am new here, I noticed a ton and I mean a ton of witch king Flails, or maces as they could be called... All of them show step by steps however nobody post the template that they used to make them with.... this is frustrating for me because I am participating in a box wars battle and I...

I've hit a delay in finishing my Witch King helmet while my friend sources some really dirty waste diesel engine oil for quenching it. So decided to start on an Uruk Hai helmet based on a pepakura one I made for my son-in-law. I've made some paper templates and I'll refine these as I build the...

Hey, I'm trying to make a replica sting and i want to make it glow blue when i press a button at the base of the hilt. i need suggestions on what materials to make the blade out of and what paints to use so that light will shine through, but have it look silver when the light is off. My...

I am making the sword the Witch King carries in The Return of the King. It looks like this: I am printing the cross guard, handle and pommel and attaching them to a wood blade I will make. I am modeling it to fit around a 16mm steel tube for support. Being new to 3D modelling I am able to...

Hey guys! I'm currently working on making a bow and arrow and I'd like to make it based on the bow of the Rangers of Ithilien from the Lord of The Rings, problem is that the few pictures I can find are hard to determine the shape from, that is I can't tell whether it is flat on the...

Hey There Everyone Just want to let you know that I am going to be attempting an Éomer cosplay from the Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers and The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. I have just over 10 months for this cosplay and it will be worn at the 2017 rAge Expo (Exhibition for games...

My son wants to be the Witch King for our Halloween Project next year. It may seem early to start, but I figure it's going to take a lot to top this year's! Has anyone attempted an LED lighted sword to look like it's on fire? I'm thinking of using clear acrylic to build it and somehow use...

Hi Everyone! My name is Jen. I'm new here and just trying to figure out how all this works. This is our Halloween Project 2016 (kind of a big deal around here). My 10 year old son came to me this year wanting to be the Dark Lord Sauron. After asking for the last 4 years I finally decided we...

Recently I got a hold of the The Hobbit AUJ Chronicles of Design book. I opened it and was amazed by all of the sketches of the dwarves' accoutrements. The dwarves are my favorite race so I thought "How awesome would it be to make all of these everyday items and use them in my everyday?" So I...

My girlfriend and I don't have very many franchises that we both like; however, when I recently introduced her to LOTR she fell in love. In turn, I rekindled the flame (of Anor) for the trilogy, and want to collect a few props that I didn't buy way-back-when. As it stands, I think our focus...

Hey folks, Just wanted to let everybody know what an awesome job Artisan FX did for me in a recent project. GeneralFROSTY and crew did amazing work restoring my LOTR Staff of Gandalf prop replica from the United Cutlery collection, and it has made its way back to my teaching studio where my...

Bilbo's Party Tree has been pruned to produce some commemorative coins and I was able to get some off-cut branches. We're planning on having them laser etched with the design above. Each piece will measure about 4-5" in diameter and 3/4" thick. We've still got to price out the laser etching and...

This is my first post (and I apologize in advance if I'm posting in the wrong place) but I've been watching these threads for a couple of years now. I've been building somewhat of a pop-culture museum and arcade set-up. I've been trying to integrate Movies, TV shows, and Video Games with...
