My Largest LOTR Battle Diorama Yet!

#LOTR #Battle #Diorama
The film adaptation of The Return of the King just turned 20! To celebrate, I put together a diorama using miniatures from my old collection as well as some miniatures from my friend Than’s collection.
Playing with GW Middle Earth minis was how I originally got into the hobby world of miniatures!
I recreated one of the most memorable moments from the film in wargaming scale and I really like how it turned out. Hope you enjoy!

    Fun fact: I was born on the same day this movie was released. So I am celebrating 20 years along with the movie!

    Getting told that the LOTR trilogy is 20 years old now makes me feel so old. The funny part is that I’m only 20…

    Dividing generations with people's age is fool's errand, we should start dividing generations with Generation "Death🐎" and Generation "Assemble🔨"

    Ya, know, with everything going on in the world, I hardly tear up anymore... but seeing this diorama being built and coming together... just brought back some great childhood memories. I loved this saga as a kid, and I still love it today. Boylei... keep it up bro. You're a freaking legend 👊

    I like the movies but have absolutely no memory of anything not directly related to the hobbits and the ring. Even though I don't know anything about this battle your work is still incredible!

    The battle of pelenor fields is a sight to behold in the theaters. I think for our generation it has the same effect as seeing the ATAT walkers for the first time. The scale of the battle and creatures, the film and music and just the idea of battling beasts with a spear. Its truly one of the best moments in the film trilogy

    I know it's a small part, but the neck texture was so spot on! Great diorama overall! I always felt sorry for the poor animals, though. :D

    There is something uniquely beautiful about returning to beloved childhood toys and refurbishing them with the skills of an adult who has mastered his craft.

    As someone who lives in New Zealand (where LOTR was filmed) I can say this is very historically accurate

    PJ's LOTR movies are brilliant and beautiful, have stood the test of time, and I think they always will as masterworks. This was one of my favorite sequences in "Return of the King" as well and yes, that bald howdah rider was one of the highlights--that actor was well into it! Great work commemorating this classic scene, Boylei!

    I will never forget the feeling of watching that scene in theaters for the first time. I was 12 years old at the time and I've never had that same feeling watching a film in theaters since, 20 years later. Thank you, for bringing back the memories!

    Man, I got chills when you described the scene. I had the exact same experience! Incredible work as always. I can see you put blood, sweat and tears into it, literally.

    Wow, what a great reason to revisit an old piece. I can't believe it's been 20 years!

    The Haradrim war chant as they roll up on Pelennor Fields was always the best moment in the movies.

    Well done, that brings back very fond memories..... but it still only counts as one lol.

  • @NickSibz

    The ride of the rohirrim is easily the single greatest moment in cinematic history IMO. Still get goosebumps whenever I watch. Loved this build, the GW game is one of my favorites.
