The Making of Barad-dûr - Complete!

Weta Senior Modelmaker David Tremont shares some of his experiences building collectibles for Weta and leading up to the launch of Weta's Barad-dûr - Fortress of Sauron environment.

The inimitable writing style is Dave's own and we promise you an entertaining read. You will never get closer to the core of the thoughts (the fear), the craft and the processes that create a fantastical miniature model.

The document also features a foreword by Richard Taylor.

Enjoy!
