Starfire Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 I was wondering if a blog about my new project, a 1:24 scale reproduction of Elrond's Library based on the sets in the FOTR movie would be of interest. It is not strickly a dollhouse, but I am doing it from scratch and modifying the movie set floorplan to a more practical one (although fairly faithful) and will be doing some design of roof structure, electrical design and building elevations, sculpting (successful I hope) of a number of figures needed and some resin and clay casting along the way. ;) I have the floor plans for both the first floor and second level done, and have completed a number of detail drawings. I do have to design a roof line and side gable with the support structure underneath and how the base will reflect the environment ie waterfalls rocky outcropings. So far I have collected about a third of the supplies I will need but it is begining to come together. Comments please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minilinda2001 Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Hey, I LOVE to know how others plan stuff and make stuff, particularly from scratch. What is FOTR movie please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlene Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Absolutely -- a blog sounds like a wonderful idea! You'll have so many different techniques going on there that I'm sure everyone will find it helpful and at the very least fascinating -- even if they don't know what FOTR stands for ;) Let us know when you get started -- loved those movies and can't wait to see the library take shape. It sounds like a really challenging & exciting project. PS to Minilinda: FOTR is Fellowship of the Ring, the first in the Lord of the Rings trilogy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annette Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Definately, that would make a great blog. I agree with Charlene the ideas and techniques you will be using would help a lot of people and give others some inspirations with there projects ;) .
