The Balrog will oppose Gandalf using the 20th Anniversary Gandalf figure. This Balrog is in my opinion more to the correct scale as I imagine it.
I had to take moulds of his hands and press modelling putty in to replicate the sculpted detail so that I could insert the whip and sword. Trying to carve the metal was a bit too much

Alas, I think you are too right there Nino, the Web must be our exhibition for now
.I seem to remember Lars saying something along those lines in one of the emails he posted, but more chance of Sauron keeping his word than that happening I think, although in all fairness it is the distance issue given our spread around the globe
This news pictures just confirm the excellent and huge work you have done… Love every single little detail on the ship.
May I suggest to add some sailors (just 2-3, not much)? Somebody has to take the sail tasks, even when they´re in battle
Maybe someday will see it in person

There is one sailor Master Elroi, and he is virtually unseen at the tiller of the ship – I think I used the Dunland tracker as this character. But you are quite right about a crew – I am probably going to see if a couple of the Corsairs can be utilised and some other figures may also be useable.
I still have to add some shields around the woodwork (you may have noticed some small holes in some panels), I found a really nice swan design, but messed up the application so it is back to the drawing board
.Anyhow, I hope the scene has inspired others to have a go at something similar – I now have the bottom half of the model which I am going to make into the Elven-ship carrying the Ring-bearers to the Undying Lands; that is going to involve some scratch-building 😎
