In the end, every model is the sum of all parts. In case of the statue of Anárion, one can distinguish four main elements: head, left arm, body, right arm. Each of them can be considered as a singularity. Once scale, material and building techniques are fixed and the first panel is sawed, it becomes a matter of plodding on until you're happy with the result. The more the finished elements are to your liking, the more frightening it becomes to start with the next one. Now initially we didn't think much of this hasty sketch of Anárion's body…



…and for a while we believed we were on the wrong track…



By the way, has it ever occurred to anybody that the styrofoam Anárion figure Mary MacLachlan is working on in the Appendices seems to be in need of a… bra? Or is it just us seeing b-(beep!)-s where there aren't any? (Some practical joke maybe, to humour P.J. on his visits to the Weta workshop). This mystery somewhat blurred our professional view while moulding Anárion's bosom…



… but before harm was done we gained firm footing again.



What you're looking at is a truthful image of our own foot, with the hobbit-hair left out. We believe the customary name for this kind of footwear is "Jesus-Nikes". Two strips of cardboard & a wooden sole, that's all it needs.
