The Dead Marshes | LOTR Epoxy Resin Diorama

[@NorthoftheBorder]

I for one happen to love the elf-loaf armor.

[@StudsonStudio]

Leaf-like, loaf-like, same difference

[@laraschroeder5195]

What. BOTH of my hero’s??

[@BPCustomCreations]

Eloafen armor

[@redwoolsocks]

I really look forward to each video that all you guys put out!

[@jwharris417]

Fun fact: Tolkien’s inspiration for the dead marshes came from his time as a soldier in WWI. After a heavy rain, the craters in the field made by artillery shells would fill with water, and if there were any bodies in the crater they would float to just under the surface. Ok, so maybe not a fun fact, but maybe interesting? Beautiful build anyway!

[@Desolaytore]

Rough, those soldiers in both wars went through complete hell.

[@MGMac_]

Tolkien was such an amazing person

[@stargateMimhi]

@@MGMac_ He definitely went through a lot of suffering in WWI, and he accomplished some incredible literary works, but he was ultimately a deeply flawed man. Just, worth remembering the whole picture before praising wholesale.

[@stargateMimhi]

@@astrovarius543 I'm not wikipedia. He was a rather racist and sexist man, you can look up the details yourself.

[@mistac5050]

This was really different and very cool, especially watching you make the elf from scratch. The swampy base looked perfect and that sculpt of Frodo was quite striking. A very fitting tribute to the film.

[@ArtByKarenEHaley]

This is the scene in the film that actually freaked me out. The sleep paralysis feeling I got from watching Frodo unable to look away really resonated with me because I often had sleep paralysis as a teen. I didn’t see a dead elf though, I would see the Beverly hillbillies grandma in a rocking chair in my room. I would have rather seen the elf haha. Your face sculpt of the deceased elf is dead on, pun intended. His hair is glorious I don’t blame Lorean Paris for hiring him. I bet the layer of sand helped the foliage stick really well so not a total loss

[@4THECRAFT]

ΟΚ. That was amazing. I really like LOTR and this diorama is an amazing tribute . 👍👍👍

[@MrFacepunch33]

It turned out really great! The elf looks like he’s staring directly at Frodo. And the Lorean modeling gag got a belly laugh from me. One of my favorites of yours so far!

[@damionkeeling3103]

Jeez, only just realised the Lothlorien joke.

[@gamez4622]

What paints did he use to paint Frodo,was it acrylic???

[@BISanders]

Your little hints of humor throughout the video are hilarious. They definitely add to the already impressive diorama. Keep up the good work!

[@frankierzucekjr]

The part where the hair was blowing in the wind still has me laughing. Hilarious. Well done as always buddy.

[@CLove511]

"Loréan" 😂

[@Kai-ci9cd]

There’s no shortage of lotr diorama ideas for the future! I’d love to see more! West gate of Moria w/ the watcher Aragorn and Co. arriving at Minas Tirith Aragorn summoning the oathbreakers Caras Galadhon Bridge of Khazad-dûm Amon Hen part 3 Argonath Helms Deep/ Glittering caves The fellowship going past that one rock Frodo holding the ring above the fires And that’s not even counting and of the Silmarillion locations!

[@yananewton4560]

@@karebear4485 a scene with Aragorn holding Boromir as he passes into the west would be beautiful and sorrowful

Sauron at the cracks of mount doom

[@hacknslashcrafts]

Pouring that swamp water was haunting. Felt like you were entombing the dead elf. Great build.

[@bewilderbeastie8899]

The illusion of depth in the water is fantastic, it feels so spooky!

[@deannaatkinson3004]

I’ve just finished marathoning the 3 Hobbit and 3 LOTR movies (extended editions). This scene has long stuck in my mind. I’m so thrilled you chose this very moment to memorialize. Your skills at modeling and painting are impressive, to say the least. As a fan of The Hobbit and LOTR for 40-50 years and a fan of the movies for, now, 20 years, I love this.

[@Ronald_Raegun]

That Kylo aren’t joke just earned this man my subscription. Congratulations on the diorama.

[@rianuniverse9240]

PLEASE MAKE MORE LOTR DIORAMAS PLEASE!!! THIS VIDEO WAS AWESOME!

[@mikestanley9176]

I like the theatrical cuts,but I love the extended cuts. They add so much detail to the movies.

[@restock_1731]

Definitely one of my favorite parts of the movie, when Frodo falls into the swamp. You brought the scene leading up to that out perfectly. Amazing job, as always. 👍

[@TomJones0065]

Always been a FAN OF TOLKIEN! I been A collector so to speak sense I was a kid! LONG AGO! I have every Lego Set they made from the movies! Never Opened! And a HOLE collection of books and collectables! THIS WAS AN AMAZING BUILD! SAVED IT! LOVE THESE! more LOTR PLEASE!!

[@rawjawbone]

We need more creepy dioramas. And man, your resin game is on point. I feel so intimidated by resin. I have seen how easily it can go wrong in other projects. Yours turned out awesome.

[@scardoesart]

You did an amazing job recreating this scene, and 20 years? wow, where does time go to?!

[@dillonscott8623]

I’m addicted to these videos

[@sowayout1387]

Your videos have helped me with my depression. Thank you so much. The way you talk sounds genuine and you seem like a cool dude. I appreciate you a lot.

[@maning04]

This was in my opinion the creepiest scene in the 2nd movie. The part when Frodo was staring at the corpse underwater. Seeing that white pale dead elf still kinda creeps me out. Great diorama btw!

[@AvocationNation]

Man, your crafting AND your production are just *chef's kiss*

[@sareatonin]

I’ve spent the last three days binge watching the extended editions of the LOTR trilogy, this video was a perfect addition to my playlist. Amazing work, as always.

[@moteurduMans]

the swamp effect with the dark resin is crazy, one of my best diorama that you did

[@AKKK1182]

Dude, I just remembered how my dad took me to see the first LotR movie as a kid. You're laying it down hard...

[@Meenaia]

I love LoTR and had no idea this is the 20 year anniversary today! This is insanely beautiful and really made my morning.

[@retrodude9667]

One of my favourite of all time. Thanks for creating this.

[@joshuaprentice7737]

Beautiful tribute to some of my favourite films/books/stories of all time. Thank you as always

[@paulaneary7877]

That's downright spooky how good this turned out. I especially like Frodo's head, hair and face. Just like the movie.

[@firstnamelastname9444]

Would definitely love more LOTR!!!

[@friendlynomad9840]

Incredible. You're diorama really captures that feel from the scene. LOTR is still an impactful trilogy, today.

[@theseageek]

The work you’ve done with this diorama is beyond epic. With all the scenery and characters from LOTR, you can create so much awesomeness 👍👍👍

[@Briandoesit]

3D printing has really changed the game for modeling and Diorama

[@quitra3571]

Talented, nerdy, and funny. Perfection

[@jettadin]

I think the elf armor looks fantastic, and hey-even if you think it looks like bread, bread is natural too!

[@joshmabe4244]

Jeez man, you are better than you give yourself credit for. I’ve fallen out of modeling for awhile and your videos are inspiring me to sit back at my table. Thank you.

[@DocFleg]

So good! The light in the eyes is such a nice subtle detail. That hair commercial got me good.

[@Kilgore1004]

Seeing this was posted five minutes ago as I’m sitting here seeking inspiration for a diorama I’m making is absolutely perfect timing.

[@theskinthiefs6301]

Id love too see more Lotr dioramas in the future!

[@NWLee]

Nicely done, the Frodo figure is especially nice, the face really looks like Elijah Wood. I am always amazed at how real and natural your dioramas turn out.

[@AChisum87]

Literally just finished watching all of the movies this past week. They’re my absolute favorite. I also feel very old now, I didn’t realize it’s been twenty years?! Crazy.

[@02JAN1970]

Really good job on Frodo's face! And I do like the glowing eyes. Also, good save on the imperfections in the resin. It seems so much of being good at a skill is knowing how to save the work you have already done and not have to redo it.

[@KalashAesthetic]

I love the little details you add, like water/dirt on Frodo's feet. And all the effort put into the elf even though you can't see him fully that well in the end. Awesome work as usual.

[@princewithoutakingdom9716]

Makes me wanna watch the two towers again and I've seen it countless times 😂😁 your work is beyond beautiful man keep em coming 👍

[@102Ts]

I'm used to seeing you work with smaller scale sets so it was awesome to see you paint the details on Frodo!!

[@NinjaTyler]

Brilliant job as always! And as a quick reminder to everyone, YOU DO NOT RECOGNIZE THE BODIES IN THE WATER!!

[@aaroncharlton8863]

I'm so glad someone made this reminder, I swear I remember them being in my old high school.

[@klavicus2276]

most are without talking/explanation so i enjoy it when someone really explains what he does/uses and whats hard/more easy. plus you have a quite clear and smooth voice. keep it up. its a hobby i would like to do myself but it seems way too expensive for me + you seem to have much patience (also a think i don't really have but would like to learn)

[@marinawahl6727]

Beautiful diorama as always. Very subtle humour as well, I was completely absorbed in that build thankyou

[@modelermark172]

This is perfect! You not only captured that particular scene well, you also nailed the overall spirit of the entire film. It really is hard to believe that this movie is 20 years old; it seems like just yesterday when it first came out. Though my favorite projects of yours are from your original, "Wild, Imaginary West" series, I wouldn't mind seeing more LOTR projects, as well! Thanks for posting this!
