BRINGING THE LEGEND TO LIFE:

The Making of the Argonath

© Lotrscenerybuilder 2008




The hands of both Isildur and Anárion, lying brotherly together in the hand after which they were modelled. Kingly hands all three of them, if we may say so.



Our next project was the making of a 'front-axis' that would cover the joint of both robe sleeves, the outward & inward one. This 'axis' would also determine the shape of the robe, as well as the height of the statue.



Matches helped to model the sleeve-ends of both the Isildur and the Anárion statue.



With the scale of the head and the hands fixed, we had to establish the total height of the Anárion-statue. This wasn't lightly done as we didn't want to end up with some knight of the rueful stature. Four slabs of MDF had to imitate the alternating front folds of the robe.



We used a file to shape the folds into a flowing S-curve. Now you know… how it's done.
