THE LORD OF THE RINGS DIORAMAS: SARUMAN'S PALANTIR & TOM BOMBADIL AND GOLDBERRY.

Fifth post of our Lord of the Rings week. Is the previous one before the end, so this is almost done!

Today we bring you two dioramas instead of one, so our blog goes back to the scenes of books and films. And we say books because one of the dioramas for today does not appears at the Fellowship of the Rings, as it should be. You will recognize the other one instantly.

Both are small pieces but we and our client really like them.


Saruman and Gríma Wormtongue along with the Palantir of Orthanc.
When we saw this pair of miniatures finished and our customer proposed us to create small dioramas, we thought about this scene immediately. Here Saruman and Gríma are talking with Sauron across the Palantir.



 Check out how we have painted the Palantir with Sauron.





Pay attention at the ground: Orthanc has a black marble floor. We tried to get that texture to our diorama.



Tom Bombadil and Goldberry.
These sympathic characters don't appear in the films. However, in the books, they help Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin twice on their scape from the Shire toward Bree: first from Old Man Willow and then from Barrow Wights.



This charming couple lives at the Shire. We had to show life, that's why we have used brilliant green and yellow colours.







Tom Bombadil's details.


We save our last scene for tomorrow. Kings of men and Maias gather in our final diorama. You going to lose?
