It looks great but the sword proportion seems a bit off (I actually own this, am looking at it now). Also, the bottom of the handle part seems too rounded. I modeled it quite a while ago based on this picture: http://img-nex.theonering.net/images/scrapbook/orig/8500_orig.jpg, it really helped me. It's very hard to get good references for the thickness of the various parts, I was lucky to have the replica, maybe I'll take a picture of it from the side...

By the way, the scene it's in looks fantastic, although I know that wasn't the focus ;).

Hello Usman,

It looks great! And not only that but it's Tolkien, double points :) Do you plan on doing anymore? I hope so.

I was curious about your title: "Elendil", it sounds like your calling the sword "Elendil" when in fact Elendil was the character and the sword was known as Narsil, then Shards of Narsil after it was broken, and then Andúril (there's an accent if you want to get technical) after it was reforged. "Andúril (Sword of Gondor)" might be a more proper title. Although even then, I'm not sure if it was ever referred to as the "Sword of Gondor" as the sword was actually a symbol for the kingship of both Arnor and Gondor. You might consider "Andúril (Flame of the West)" as "Flame of the West" is the sword's Quenya (Elvish) translation.

Also I wanted to ask your permission to upload this image along with "Packing for Mordor" to http://tolkiengateway.net You would of course be properly credited and we want to even have an article about you. Feel free to PM me if you're interested.

Keep up the great work!
