3D model history
Gandalf the Gray is one of the main characters and a key figure in the fantasy classics The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. A wise sorcerer and member of the White Council, he never left the weak in trouble and always provided help where needed. His paramount mission was to help the free peoples of Middle-earth withstand the destructive and corrupting power of the Dark Lord Sauron. During this perilous journey, Gandalf had to face the ancient creature Balrog and sacrifice his life to defeat it. But the supreme deity of Middle-earth brought the leader of the Fellowship of the Ring back to life so he could continue his heroic journey.
The episode of the battle between Gandalf and the Balrog, known as Durin's Bane, is one of the most memorable in the movie as it shows the confrontation of two great opposing forces and exactly this episode inspired our contributor to create this stunning 3D printing design. We see Gandalf depicted in a decisive posture holding his weapons ready to oppose his demonic enemy. It is amazing how the 3D artist managed to recreate the appearance of Gandalf: you can easily recognize the protagonist by his facial features and mimics and the mastery of the sculptor definitely deserves praise. Just imagine how great it will be to print these STL files — every fan of LOTR should have this legendary character in their collection!
