Awesome pics Josh, you're great with the camera.

Thanks! Lots of practice finding the best way for me to get good shots and asking friends like Rook (fellow freaks member) at comic-con the best way to get some good shots.

Its his order to do with what he pleases.

As it is mine to think he's a jerk.

Re: Weta Orthanc Pre-Ruin Environment

Why is he a jerk? It's no problem selling Orthanc with a little profit. And this money can be used for another poly he really likes. I don't think that's stupid, it's smart.

Anyways back on topic to the actual topic.

Re: Weta Orthanc Pre-Ruin Environment

Okay so, have you found any flaws?
According to the pics the only possible 2 I find are the markings on top which seem to be abit overpainted on some parts. And probably the stairs which look a bit grooved.
And if you're hyper picky the date on the pin is wrong.

Re: Weta Orthanc Pre-Ruin Environment

I don't have any issues. I personally think the whole thing is well done. Especially items like the top and stairs.

The date in the pin isn't wrong. That's when we placed our pre-orders.

True, I looked at my order again. Feels like I ordered it yesterday.

It does feel like just yesterday. I think that's what's anticipation does when you're really looking forward to something.

Got it...I like it...It is not as shiny as earler Isengard

Re: Weta Orthanc Pre-Ruin Environment

I do wish I had the original.

Re: Weta Orthanc Pre-Ruin Environment

Wow, i can't believe how bigger the new one is to the original. If (when) they do Barad-Dur i reckon that will be *slightly* taller than the new Orthanc, so imagine displaying that next to the old Orthanc!

Also, GREAT setup for your environments, and they're all in order of appearance in the films! Are those hooks really strong enough to hold the Stone Trolls and Rivendell?
