THE SWORD OF ÉOWYN: Weta Workshop The Master Swordsmith's Collection
Weta Workshop Sword makers Peter Lyons and Chris Menges asked me to help recreate the brass cast sculptural components for Eowyn's sword from The Two Towers for their Master Swordsmith's Collection.
We did not want to mold the original priceless prop, so we opted to scan and digitally sharpen the crossbar, pommel and all the various buckles and fittings from the scabbard.
