Wētā Workshop was intrinsically involved in the design and physical effects manufacture for all three films of The Lord of the Rings™ trilogy.

It takes hundreds of hours to design, sculpt, model make, mold, and paint the prototype for each new Middle-earth piece. Whether it be a prop replica, beautiful environment, or iconic character, we treat our collectibles with the same level of care and attention to detail that we bring to our film work.

A spear of stone rose into the upper airs, its jagged crown ever mantled with snow and shrouded in restless cloud.

There, upon the peak, stood Durin’s Tower; once sturdy dwarven stone, now cleft by elemental fury, as shadow met light and dark flame was extinguished by storm.

From concept to sculpt, modelling and paint, our artists poured their all into bringing Zirakzigil to life. Every jagged edge of stone and weather-worn block of dwarven architecture was shaped with reverence for the deep history it contains. The team studied the mountain’s place in the legendarium, imagining the wind, the snow, and the lonely heights where few could ever tread.

What emerged was a miniature environment that feels as though it was lifted from the pages themselves, a piece of Middle-earth shaped by steady hands and quiet passion.

“We consider ourselves very fortunate when we tackle an environment like this because, of course, we’ve got access to such an amazing wealth of reference.”
