The Dead Marshes | LOTR Epoxy Resin Diorama

#LOTR #Creepy #Resin
The Fellowship of the Ring just turned 20! I decided to build something to celebrate! It's hard to believe that Peter Jackson's LOTR universe was introduced to us so long ago.
I know that the scene depicted is from The Two Towers, but it seemed like a good diorama concept to attempt.

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.

[@astrovarius543]

@@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.

[@frankierzucekjr]

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

[@CLove511]

"Loréan" 😂

[@4THECRAFT]

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

[@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!

I want to see the fall of boromir

[@yananewton4560]

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

[@legobatman5067]

Sauron at the cracks of mount doom

[@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!

[@scardoesart]

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

[@rianuniverse9240]

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

[@anthonymcrooster3703]

The LED pun was my favourite. I almost lost it.

I support the use of “flame of udûn!” In every video with the torch

[@Teawrex11]

Nine seconds never to early to watch boyeli

[@bewilderbeastie8899]

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

[@jettadin]

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

[@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.

[@mikestanley9176]

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

[@Briandoesit]

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

[@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. 👍

[@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.

[@Zir0w...]

The "Lorean Paris" Part was perfect! Made me laugh so much! xD

[@comawhite5913]

The Kylo bit instantly triggered my like!

[@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.

[@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...

[@jeweltorkelson]

I love that he does lord of the ring builds

[@NutRabbitASMR]

Love it from Thailand.❤️

[@Boylei]

Thanks, Nutter Butter!

[@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.

[@firstnamelastname9444]

Would definitely love more LOTR!!!

[@AvocationNation]

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

[@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.

[@dillonscott8623]

I’m addicted to these videos

[@Meenaia]

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

[@DocFleg]

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

[@Grimswoden]

Jesus this is one of my favorite episodes just for the constant refrences 😂

[@silviofoj]

Stunning work, love it...“Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.”

[@marinawahl6727]

20 years.... 🙈cant believe it. i am so old😂. great work!❤️

[@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!

[@quitra3571]

Talented, nerdy, and funny. Perfection

[@PKTCrafts]

Well done matching the colors beneath the water exactly with how it looks in the film!

[@moteurduMans]

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

[@Twink_Twins]

Hilarious I love the personality that you being it’s what makes you, you. And you are great so thank you for sharing, thank you for your time and thank you for your creation, truly.

[@michaeln5660]

Awesome video! My son loved how spooky the glowing eyes looked...wooo-oooh!

[@x_ghost_x6612]

Why the hell did i get chills at the end credits? Bravo good sir!

[@TDig.]

More LOTR dioramas please!! Great job

[@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.

[@retrodude9667]

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

[@RickyDownhillRDH]

20* years already?? WOW! Nice work btw.

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

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.
