LOTR Collections...?

[Terminator Crazy]

TC what is the story with the WitchKing's mace? Is that a custom build?

Yes it is...And one is still for sale on my site. :angel Resin with metal chain.

 

[Terminator Crazy]

Terminator Crazy's collection is one of the best, if not THE best, and elegant collection I have seen!

Well done!:thumbsup

Question though, is the brick wall made of Styrofoam?
If not, how did you make it?

Yes it is..Made it my self..

 

[DavidS]

How is it that I've never been to their site or looked them up on ebay? I feel a few purchases about to be made...

any idea what the "size" of the movie ring was?

 

[Guardian Devil]

The movie ring as carried by Frodo and Isildur was sized at a US size 11 and about 7mm tall.
If you're looking at getting a chain to go with that too, then the movie chain was 65cm long

dont let this thread die

True story, swear to Illuvatar: At my Ren Faire, I found a 'Leaf of Lorien' cloak pin trampled into the grass, just like in "Two Towers" so I wore it on my lapel, in plain view, so that the owner might be able to see and claim it. They never came forward, so it's in my collection now.

"Not idly do the leaves of Lorien fall."

Ummm....They were obviously trying to get you to track them to Isengard.

any idea on displayin the ring guys?

I've got 3 displayed with different parts of my collection, one with my desktop display, one hanging over one of my swords and one with Gollum.
I just realised that I havn't posted any pictures of my collection yet, it's certainly not as impressive as some of the displays shown here, but here it is:
(excuse the budget Sting there, I picked it up at a car-boot sale for £5 and couldn't leave it!)

Just got a UC Glamdring from a fellow board member. Nice addition to my collection!

Love that Gollum.

 

[Barnett College]

We have such a few oportunities to show our beloved collections, right?

My favourite? Maybe the elegant Glandrimg. I really love that blue stone.

This is strange. I found a Gondorian helmet being sold by Budk (who IS United Cutlery) selling what looks like a un-official helmet for $89.99? Not sure, but it looks exactly like their UC version. Except I don't think it has a helmet stand, and it doesn't mention anything about leather inside.

Here is a link http://budk.com/product.aspx?sku=50 BK1611

 

[Terminator Crazy]

You clearly see it is a copy and not a UC..

 

[Hecubus114]

I wouldnt say it looks exactly like it - but I think Tim's point is to point out that a company with an official license is also selling a knockoff. Weird.

 

[Terminator Crazy]

He said he is not sure so I just made it sure..It is far from the UC look and quality. An eazy way to spot it is hot the "leaves" are atached porly and diffrently.

Exactly. If Master Replicas was making knockoff lightsabers, that would be a little strange. This is exactly like that. Budk IS United Cutlery.

 

[Megatron]

maybe there seconds

 

[Smiling Demon]

Well, here is a pic of my LOTR sword collection. I have a couple UC pieces but mostly knock-offs but hey, I like them and they look good on my wall.
Good part is I don't have a ton of money in them!!

TC, that is all sorts of cool!
