I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone

This will be a very quick project documenting something I worked on recently. There was some time pressure to it which meant I couldn't document the project as it progressed, but I did take some photos throughout so I could do so at the end. My younger brother (and primary wargaming buddy), Ian, got married earlier this year to his lovely wife, Liz. He is only a few years younger than me, well settled in life, with a reasonably good job, house, car etc, likewise his wife. They both said they didn't want gifts for their wedding as they didn't need anything and they had a very small, low key event (small church ceremony and then a bbq in their back garden). However I had no intention of letting the event pass without marking the occasion with something. They are both "nerds", for want of a better word. They love RPGs (well, D&D), boardgames and Ian, also loves miniature games. They are also huge fans of the Peter Jackson middle earth films- their wedding invites were watermarked with pictures of Aragorn and Arwen and their wedding rings were replicas of The One Ring, hand made in New Zealand. So that gave me my inspiration and I decided to make a diorama using Aragorn and Arwen. This project goes through the steps taken along the way. All in all, it took about 2 weeks to make the scenic elements (which includes me working a full time job as well) and two weekends to paint the miniatures. I haven't included the painting of the miniatures themselves as that wasn't really the focus of the project, this is more focused on creating the diorama itself.
