The Lord of the Rings - Zirakzigil Environment
ETA: 30 September 2026
A spear of stone rose into the upper airs, its jagged crown ever mantled with snow and shrouded in restless cloud. There, upon the peak, stood Durin's Tower; once sturdy dwarven stone, now cleft by elemental fury, as shadow met light and dark flame was extinguished by storm. From concept to sculpt, modelling and paint, our artists poured their all into bringing Zirakzigil to life: The same storied peak where Gandalf and the Balrog met in their final, fateful clash. Every jagged edge of stone and weather-worn block of dwarven architecture was shaped with reverence for the deep history it contains. The team studied the mountain's place in the legendarium, and the momentous impact struck upon its tower by the clash of ancient mythical forces. What emerged was a miniature environment that feels as though it was lifted from the pages themselves, a piece of Middle-earth shaped by steady hands and quiet passion. - Open Edition; - Made primarily from polystone; - 360-degree environment design; - Depicts the iconic ruins where Gandalf slew the Balrog at the cost of his own life; - Made with reference to the original miniature, as seen in The Lord of the Rings; - Architecture digitally sculpted by Charlotte Key; - Environment physically sculpted by Shaun Bolton.
