We Painted over 1,500 Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game (MESBG) Miniatures for this 8x16 Foot, Lord of the Rings Diorama

This diorama has the largest handcrafted elements of any such Lord of the Rings diorama, in the world.

We’ve hinted for years that we’ve been working on some interesting but secret projects. This one we got permission to go public with. Below, I talk about it, at Lanka Comic Con 2025.

Largest in the World?

When the video above was shot, we mistakenly thought it was THE world’s largest handcrafted Lord of the Rings diorama. We now believe that is actually by the New Zealand Youtube Crafter, ZorpaZorp.

Ours however has the largest handcrafted elements of a Lord of the Rings diorama. They are the walls of Minas Tirith: 8 feet wide. The highest point of the second wall, behind me in the image, is at 5 feet.

This took 2 years to do. It involved not only building and painting minis, but also crafting, 3D printing, and 3D designing. It was nice to have a project where we could bring ALL these to the table (literally).

We’re quite pleased that Buddmin Amaradiwakara from News 1st did a story on it for the national news. Here’s their video on it:

Below are shots of the diorama at Lanka Comic Con 2025:

The following pictures were taken in the studio. FYI, they were taken before most of the minis were based.
All the painted miniatures in the diorama (the Army of the Dead were not painted) were painted to Exhibition Quality.

We Painted Some 40k Boarding Actions Terrain

We thought the stock art was a bit lacklustre. So, we added more, and sharper rust effects with the orange. This offset the vaguely blue tones in the turquoise.

These were painted to Standard Quality.

You might have wondered why such mad art leads to Ultramarines… why doesn’t it, instead, lead to more mad art?

A lot of other people have thought this, too. Not content to sit on their brushes, they used them instead to create the art style known as Blanchitsu.

Desaturation. A jaundiced palette. Warhammer Squalor. Here are some examples:
