Amon Hen Part 2 The Shore

I start on this epic board build at the Shore, referencing stills from the film where the Fellowship arrived.

The stills and referencing/ sketching is the most important part of any project because spending the time on those details is what builds up the blueprint in your mind. The model you are making becomes more familiar to you - firstly in its overall construction and then later the finer details which give it character and story.

Film Reference Stills

Once I have spent time studying the reference and use the models to try and scale them to the right size I create some reference to use directly for modelling, and for the boat this image was perfect!

 I also this old GW metal model as a scale reference for all of the models, this will be stripped and repainted for the final board.

Once I have these in place including any notes, I will create the basic shapes of each piece inside Maya, just basic details at this point.
