Help on Weta Balrog needed !!

[Darth Infamous]

Hello I just picked up the original WETA Balrog. It is missing the hand and fire whip. Is there any collectors out there that would be willing to take detailed photos of there Balrogs hand and whip? My plan is to re-sculpt the hand and whip myself. I have experience with sculpting and molding. As you can see in the pics I recreated the famous original WETA balrog but much larger! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here you go. BTW your Balrog is very impressive. I went looking for more photos but all the links are gone If you need more let me know. I'm a HUGE LOTR collector and you find my collection here Andrew Stivison (@n2darkness) • Instagram photos and videos

An update. Finally done sculpting the missing hand. One final texture pass on it and I will be molding it. The fire whip will be sculpted in epoxy. Thanks again Stivie for the wonderful detailed pics. Btw if anyone needs one for there Balrog I can make some copies.

You did an amazing job! If you wouldn't have told me it wasn't original I would have never have guessed it.

Thanks Stivie. It was tricky scaling it properly to the statue but once I figured that out I was good. Without your pics It would not have been possible.
