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

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?
