Orthanc »Black Tower of Isengard« Environment

Before Saruman turned to Sauron and transformed Isengard into a fortress of war, the area surrounding the tower of Orthanc was characterized by lush greenery and well-tended gardens. In those days, Gandalf still sought counsel from the head of his order, while the peaceful surroundings invited contemplative strolls.

A previous collectible depicted Orthanc after Saruman and his Orcs had devastated the area, felling trees and turning the once-serene refuge into an industrial war site. This version portrays the tower before that destruction, complete with its surrounding gardens. Standing approximately 43 cm tall, the model is taller than the earlier environment piece and features numerous finely crafted details.

Constructed primarily from polystone, the model was hand-sculpted by artist David Tremont. It combines the iconic tower with Isengard’s verdant landscape, capturing a largely pristine setting from the world of »The Lord of the Rings«.
