A while ago I posted my version of Saurons mace which a lot of people seemed to like. Now, after several long months, I have completed a life sized version of the Witch King's Flail.

I designed this basically twice, as I was trying very hard to make the size movie accurate. The first time I printed the handle and realized it was too small, which essentially meant I had to redesign it from the ground up at a larger scale. After that, I went and watched some BTS footage and really focused on just how big it is.

After all is said and done, this weighs over 3kg. The chain is also fully 3d printed. This represents probably over 200 hours of printing (with a few mistakes and prototype pieces), with a perfect build probably coming in at about 150 hours. The handle is three pieces with 3d printed inner rods. The chain is 15 links that were printed at 45 degree angles without support. The flail head consists of many different pieces that fit together and is mostly 2 or 1 wall and still weighs about 2.5kg

With my Saurons mace I didn't do any post processing, but got heavily involved with this to try and give this a nice weathered metallic look. If anyone is interested in how I got about it, just let me know.
