Durin's Bane
“The Balrog reached the bridge. Gandalf stood in the middle of the span, leaning on the staff in his left hand, but in his other hand Glamdring gleamed, cold and white. His enemy halted again, facing him, and the shadow about it reached out like two vast wings. It raised the whip, and the thongs whined and cracked. Fire came from its nostrils. But Gandalf stood firm.
'You cannot pass,' he said. The orcs stood still, and a dead silence fell. 'I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor. You cannot pass. The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udûn. Go back to the Shadow! You cannot pass.'
My third entry into the Colossal Castle Contest XIII for the Miscellaneous Large category.
This build is somewhat of a remake of my earlier Bridge of Khazad Dum build from a few years ago. With this build I set out to create the most accurate minifigure scale balrog possible. While the exact correct scale is very relative, as the balrogs varied in shape and height throughout Tolkien's literature. This was a big challenge in muscular shaping and proportion, but I am satisfied with this attempts result.
