After 15 months of hard work, my dad has finished this impressive model of Minas Tirith! It is 1.4 m high and entirely hand-made out of wood. One of the most time-consuming parts was manually engraving the bricks on all walls and buildings, but this was key to properly convey the huge size of the city. Everything was painted by hand, adding some wear and tear. For a behind-the-scenes look at how he built this check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1Ywlc8ojjE

@astro_jcm Much more impressive than the movies!
@astro_jcm Good Lord!! That is AMAZING! Wow!

@astro_jcm

Absolutely amazing!

Your Dad is an artist!

@astro_jcm
The view from the top is extremely impressive. That's a lot of detail. Well done!
@sam It's also one of my favourite views! I honestly had quite some trouble capturing both the sheer size of the model and all the tiny details at the same time

@astro_jcm Thanks for going to the effort! And thanks to your father too. My dad sculpts abstract but will enjoy looking at these photos!

Do you know what kind of wood he used?

@mackenzian Thanks! He used pine, beech and plywood.
@astro_jcm
Ich habe etwas Neues für dich gefunden @CatsOverPeople 🤭
@astro_jcm so ❤️❤️❤️
Realy impressive 💪💪💪
@astro_jcm what i don’t understand is how does he make art and keep the workshop so clean? that’s the real magic. he must be incredibly meticulous and specific in how he carves out the wood.
@astro_jcm And no 3D printing used, I love it!
@astro_jcm hat tip to your dad. This is awesome!
@astro_jcm
That's incredible!!
@astro_jcm That is outstanding. I really expected a tiny Denethor, aflame.
@astro_jcm really impressive!! Great work! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
