The Company march single file into the gloom of Mirkwood. They find that a myriad of animals make sleeping hard and their provisions diminish so that they eventually make the move off the road in search of food. Bombur falls into poisoned water and goes into an unnatural stupor, and a mystical mirage appears causing the companions to get separated from eachother. Lost in the dark Bilbo is attacked by a giant spider.[More]

Kong Barge ‘Manuia’

You can clearly see the scaffolding around the front of the boat, and the cannopy wrapped around it. This alteration has been there about a week or so, and you can tell from the shabby look of the hessia cover that we’ve had some good hard winds here this week (110 kph!).
I’ll be heading over to the Miramar suburb tomorrow, but I probably won’t take any amazing photos. Weta Studios are pretty boring – apart from one lone Orc figure in the window (far away and in the dark, not really photographable) there’s nothing to see, all the windows are boarded up. There might be something happening outside the Stone Street Studios though (where the Mumak Harnass is stored outside). There’s been a lot of activity there in the last few weeks, but nothing I’ve been able to recognise so far. I’ll see what I can come up with.
