Ultimate Collectors' Forums

Hi everybody!

I'm Phil, you may know me as RivendellForge on Instagram/Facebook or from the Lord of the Rings Collectors Group on FB. I managed to read LOTR just before the films came out and was hooked but didn't really start collecting until a few years ago. As a long-time Star Wars costumer I'd always thought one day I'd manage to make the Second Age High Elven armor and a few years ago I stumbled across a tutorial, began making display busts and they're now in collections around the world which I'm very proud of. I generally collect full size replicas (swords, shields, helms, costumes) but definitely have a fair share of statues, artwork, and random stuff.

(While I do make the elven armor busts for sale I am not currently taking orders. Need to catch up on the remaining, incredibly patient collectors on the list but they will be available again soon!)

Thanks for having me!

Phil
