3D model history
Fast, agile, and endowed with great power, Balrogs are giant fire spirits who are capable of shrouding themselves in darkness and fire. Balrogs were affiliated with Melkor, the initial source of evil in Eä, and were forced to serve the most powerful of Ainur. Durin's Bane is the Balrog who was awakened by the Fellowship of the Ring in Moria and entered into battle with the leader of the company, a wise wizard Gandalf. The Battle of the Peak, the confrontation of good and evil, is one of the most memorable moments in the story that reveals the depth of both characters.
The Balrog bust for 3D printing created by Gambody contributor is a fascinating view — the author of the model spent hours of meticulous work recreating the appearance of the villain, incorporating precise details, imparting mimics and emotions that characterize this fantasy creature. Looking at this bust you return to the events of the movie and feel the scale of horror Balrog carries. The burning fire which is a symbol of the nature of the demon was taken as the basis during the design of one of the variants of the bust. This iconic 3D print definitely deserves to be added to your LOTR collection!
