#FoTR prolong

[tatterdemallionsails]

San Diego Comic-Con, 2003. Twenty years ago. Where the hell did the time go?

Anyway, a group of us worked for the better part of a year to build the 2nd Age elven armor from the Fellowship of the Ring prolong. And then some friends brought their Orc costumes, and we choreographed a short fight sequence. We took the best workmanship award (and most beautiful, which was a kick in the ass!) at the masquerade.

I did the sculpt of the helmet, some parts of the shield, worked on forming the armor, and did a LOT of painting.

Wish I had better pics of these.😭

We just had to put ourselves into that swordline since WETA had that huge mural made for their display booth. I remember a lot of people took pictures, but I've never found any online shares.

I do miss this...but not the sore (OMG SORE!!!) feet by convention end.🤣
