[QUOTE]Originally posted by G.K Nimrod: [QB] Thanks a bunch, Grokca! That site got a lot of questions answered even aside from the armour and weapons. I found out a big swordmaker's guild are getting a contract from New Line Cinema to make functional steel replicas of the unique gear from LOTR to paying customers. http://www.unitedcutlery.com Also, another retailer who have the same sword-pics I saw before, only smaller, check it out. http://www.lordotrings.com/shop/ucswords.asp So far they got Sting (Frodo's), Glamdring (Gandalf's) and the sword of the witchking, the mightiest of the nine ringwraiths. I'm looking forward to Narsil/And�ril, it looked detailed... Minor Nitpick: According to the books and the Encyclopedia of Arda, Gandalf's [i]Glamdring[/i], which he found in a troll-stash in "The Hobbit", together with Bilbo, was originally an elven sword just like [i]Sting[/i] and had runes in a central line throughout the blade. These haven't been depicted in either the cartoon 1977 movie-version nor the new ones, so they probably won't incorporate it at all. No big D, just a note. Also, [i]Sting[/i] was only meant to glow pale blue on the "edges" of the blade, whereas the entire blade of Glamdring was to shine white in a pinch. This was modified (entire sting-blade glows in movie, no Glamdring-glow whatsoevah") so that the audience will "get a fuc*ing clue". I'm all for it, better not take any chances with people's attention spans. :-) [/QB][/QUOTE]
