LotR Projects and Ideas...

[Kransha]

I must admit I have involved myself in a number of extreme project pastimes in times of boredom. Let me see if I can recount them all...

~~~~~wavy flashback~~~~~~

First, there was the Battle Strategy Analysis Mini-Documentary. That was interesting, to say the least. I was always fascinated studying various wars and famous battles, analyzing and planning out their strategies to the letter. I decided to the same with some battles of the War of the Ring and ended up giving running commentary of a reenaction of the Battle of Helm's Deep by a bunch of tiny figurines who I pushed around on a large table. It's funner than it sounds.

Second, the Middle-Earth Bestiary. I actually am very prideful of this particular project; an illustrated bestiary, just as the title says. It contained (at least I think) every living being, plant or animal, on the face of Arda that has even been heard of. I even added them in the appropriate sections of their kingdoms, classes, and genii.

Third, and finally, the clay sculpture of the Hornbrurg and Deping Wall. I suppose it was pretty good if I do say so myself. It was certainly accurate to Tolkein's description. The only thing that displeased me was that the Hornburg itself was slanted at a physically impossible angle.
