3D model history
Sauron, the actual Lord of the Rings, is the main antagonist of J.R.R.Tolkien’s legendarium and the evil incarnate of the Middle-earth. The titular character only got a tiny portion of screen time but easily managed to inspire with awe all fans of the fantasy universe, including one of our contributing 3D artists. The incredible project took the author around 190 hours to complete and we are honoured to welcome the very Lord of the Rings to Gambody markerplace! The author of Sauron 3D model demonstrated painstaking attention to detail and unveiled the 3D printer model to meet the wishes of the most passionate fans of the franchise. The Dark Lord is depicted wearing his iconic suit of steel armour as if he’s just emerged on the battlefield where his forces are fighting the Last Alliance of Elves and Men. The mightiest of the Maiar has the horned helmet resting on his head and his pauldrons, cuisses and vambraces are covered with sharp spikes. There are even a fine mail and a skirt to add to the Master’s complex armour! Thanks to the effort of the 3D artist, Sauron 3D print can be assembled both cloaked in its giant tattered cape or without one. Last but definitely not least, are the interchangeable gauntlets of the Sauron 3D model that allow one to recreate the battle on the slopes of Mount Doom at its different stages. Your 3D printed Lord of the Rings model can be displayed either wielding his formidable 6-bladed mace or demonstrating the source of his power - the One Ring. The fragments of a fierce battle added to the model’s platform confirm the enthusiasm of the 3D artist. Not to mention the intricately detailed entwining of the intaglio decoration that winds around Sauron’s armour!
