The Ultimate Games Workshop BALROG KIT BASH / Upgrade!!
I made a Diorama of the scene where Gandalf defeats The Balrog, Durin's Bane, on Durin's tower from The Two Towers movie, for the Two Towers 20th anniversary. I converted the Games Workshop models of Gandalf and The Balrog from the Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game to include LED'S, inspired by Fantasyset85 and ‪@Boylei‬

Thanks Caleb!! There where so many potential problems with this build that I just didn't have to think about.... because you solved them already haha. I watched your video quite a few times, especially when I was wiring up the Balrog. I just did exactly the same, no point in reinventing the wheel. Thanks again for helping me with choosing the right noodles etc I loved every second of this build. This was pure hobby for me :D

This is just beautiful... 😄 Ps. 5:10 Even though the Balrog does have wings in the movie the reason it can't fly is because the wings dont have membranes. which you can clearly see when it falls of off the tower ☺ So this is actually really freaking faithful to the movie😆

@Nat1videos Жыл бұрын

Thanks so much! I tried hard to get it to match the movie... I wish I had a few extra shots and angles to work with in the reference material. I paused and rewatched that 1 clip from the movie like a 100 times ... or more 😅

As a writer myself I believe leaving things in vague sense & leaving it up to interpretation for the readers is part of the fun & excitement of being a writer when creating worlds, you’re not answering questions but leaving questions behind for people to theorize about your work. Though I do respect your take on the Balrog not having wings I however do enjoy them simply because they look great on the creature, overall I’m not a big fan on debates simply because they cause a divided fan base amongst many beautiful people who all love Tolkien’s work. But overall I absolutely love your work my friend & respect your opinion fully, you always do beautiful projects.

I'm glad I stumbled across this, excellent video. I am of the wings of shadow party myself, this interpretation is a nice medium that suits both the movie and books. But, my reason for bring glad I watched it is because I was working on a mine build and had been going with a natural stone look which didn't seem right. The moment you showed the texturing you did to make it look like the stone was carved with pick axes, my mind suddenly flashed back to a tour we did of the Zennor tin mines during a hiking tour of Cornwall in the mid-2000s. I'd seen exactly that pattern of parallel gouges in the walls of the mine. I think my subconscious mind had been trying to tell me I what I needed but seeing it in your video brought it all back. Thanks for that literal moment of inspiration.

To be fair on the whole wings or no wings; I was surprised when I re-read the Fellowship not long ago the only to discover that it says both 'like wings' and also a few paragraphs later it says 'its' wings. So in truth Durin's Bane has wings; wings of shadow... 'His enemy halted again, facing him, and the shadow about it reached out like two vast wings.' '... and its wings were spread from wall to wall...' But i can certainly see why people think of them as physical wings, the way it is written.

“They fall. That just doesn’t make any sense if they’ve got wings” Ostriches have wings. Penguins have wings. Emus have wings. A lack of ability to fly does not preclude the possession of wings. Perhaps a Balrog is just a flightless winged demon!

Thanks Christian! I have considered some LOTR tattoos myself.... just can't decide what to get. Do you have Sauron ...?
