lotr!!

Before the picture galore occurs, i'd like to remind those who dont read my blog everyday that on the right hand side of the screen after you've scrolled down, there should be a link saying "December Archive" under all the names of my recent posts. There, you'll be able to see what you may have missed as not all the posts are shown currently.
Today, we shall play a game called Guess the Swords! Indian Crazy CoCoPuffs, this game should be VERY easy for you!!
This swords are part of the collection of Alex's brother.
he hangs them in the hallway.
and he has a lot of stuff hanging, but i'm not gonna post all XD
His brother made a FULL suit of armour by himself... spending 30o hours estimated to build it from SCRATCH. The only bits he did not make himself were the rivets. His brother is also a very good digital artist, and can be googled under the name Shockbolt. do check it out, he has GREAT fantasy artwork!
I had to show how detailed his work is with a close up of the glove... he even made the inner wear for knights. the vest made out of numerous metal rings WHICH HE ALSO MADE FROM SCRATCH. the vest alone weighs 15kg, so go figure how many metal rings he had to make and join together. To help with the estimation, he took a week just to make the rings. His armour is built to fit his size... and its realllllyyy cool.
I really liked the design on this, so i had to post a pic XD
This is the sword which he has again made himself for the knight armour, and the gloves.
This pic is for my indian crazies to laugh at... alex said the background looked very fairytale with a lake/ocean and mountains with snow. XD and we got reminded of indian crazie cocopuff and the lovely shot of her in the botanic gardens. XD However, i refused to mimic the same pose twice, and therefore the rare opportunity to catch the shot was lost. WHEW. so to compensate, he takes one when i'm trying to make my way down to the water, trying not to fall. i have not fallen yet, d'ya hear that strawberry man?! I HAVE NOT FALLEN! ... yet. XD
In case no one noticed, i'm out trying to catch snowflake in that pic with no sweater or winter wear on. BWAHAHAHHAHAHA. see? its not THAT cold XD
That pic was taken on the way to Molde for chinese food, a 40 minute drive. This place was a stopover, where the place really looked like a hallmark card , and even had horses and a quaint little xmas shop.
Also, i got to see hail today and light snow... :)
