After 15 months of hard work, my dad has finished this impressive model of Minas Tirith! It is 1.4 m high and entirely hand-made out of wood. One of the most time-consuming parts was manually engraving the bricks on all walls and buildings, but this was key to properly convey the huge size of the city. Everything was painted by hand, adding some wear and tear. For a behind-the-scenes look at how he built this check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1Ywlc8ojjE

A model of a tall fortress city. Buildings are arranged in different circular levels, each smaller than the one below, like a wedding cake. All levels are crowded with lots of different buildings and towers of various sizes, giving the city a busy look. On the top level there's a palace and a tall spire. There's a huge flat rocky spur slicing the city in half. The buildings and rocks are mostly white. The model rests on a table, with some tools visible in the background.

A closeup view of the castle on the top level of Minas Tirith. the model is full of intricate details like tiny windows and engraved bricks. There is a circular garden in front of the castle, with a white tree and two statues.
