3D model history
The Balrogs were originally Maiar, but once seduced by Melkor and brought under his command, they became his most terrible servants, having the form of huge fiery demons, quintessential terror. While Balrogs were mostly destroyed during the War of Wrath, the last surviving Balrog, Durin’s Bane, found refuge in the caves of the Misty Mountains. As the Fellowship of the Ring was moving through the mines of Moria, the Balrog attacked them and became faced with Gandalf, also a Maia. Though this was a battle of equals in strength and power, Gandalf managed to defeat his enemy and threw him off the peak, but the fight cost him his own life as well.
The Balrog 3D printer model completes the diorama "Gandalf the Grey vs Balrog" and alternatively can be displayed as an individual collectible. The 3D artist put tremendous effort into creating this unique project that has a great quality, authentic look, and perfectly conveys the mood of the battle episode. Don't wait another minute and replenish your LOTR collection with this stunning 3D printing design!
