You Shall NOT Pass!



Yes, Gandalf is 1/12 scale, I also have Gimli, complete with weapons. No, this sandbag wall will not hold back a Balrog, but I wanted something to show scale.

So here are about one quarter of the sandbags we need to make for our group project. The top for the beat-up farmhouse table will dry overnight, then get distressed and put on to the apron/legs of the table.

More tomorrow!

  2. The sacks are looking fantastic! The seems look so perfect! Are you sewing them all by hand? WOW!

  3. The three main seams of the sacks are machine-sewn; only the top seam is hand-sewn. They measure 1 x 2 inches (2.5 x 5 cm). Each sack contains a tablespoon of fine sand to give it weight; the originals were apparently full of clay...

  4. The pose of your Gandalf is full of action and I like the fact that this is part of a group project which sound like a lot of fun!
