I think someone went a little overboard on this one. Someone decided to create a scale replica of the Battle of the Hornburg from J. R. R. Tolkien’s wonderful adaptation of the Red Book of Westmarch… in candy.
Yes, you heard right. They did this all in 100% sugary goods.
This is the zoomed out view. The whole thing was constructed out of cardboard, glue, icing and… well, candy. It clocked in at about 7 feet long by 3 feet deep by 2 feet tall. We used over 500 Gummy Bears as orcs and Uruk-Hai. The Elves, Dwarves and Men were represented by sour patch kids. Most of these were of course corpses.
Brutal Slaughter on the stairs.
Gandalf and company to the rescue.
Overall, that’s what I call an excellent display of super nerd-dom. I give them super-props for deciding to spend their time to create such an awesome creating (even if there is literally no purpose besides just being awesome). It’s just super-cool.
By the way, I stole my title from one of the comments on the original blog.
