Mafic modeling clay is a type of clay that is known for its unique characteristics and uses. It is composed primarily of minerals that are rich in magnesium and iron, hence the name "mafic." This gives the clay its distinctive dark color and dense texture. One of the main features of mafic modeling clay is its ability to hold its shape and structure for extended periods of time. Unlike other types of clay that may dry out or lose their form, mafic modeling clay remains pliable and workable, making it ideal for sculpting and creating intricate designs. Another advantage of mafic modeling clay is its durability.

Another advantage of mafic modeling clay is its durability. Once the clay is molded and shaped, it can withstand handling and even rough treatment without breaking or cracking. This makes it an excellent choice for creating objects that are meant to be long-lasting and sturdy.

The Witch King’s mace… Part 1

What would a Witch King costume be without his ridiculously large mace as seen in The Return of the King? In his iconic fight with Eowyn in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields he reveals this badass weapon (technically called a ‘flail’) consisting of a massive spiked metal mass hanging from a spiked chain. Here is the clip:

I knew I could easily figure out the handle, and chain would be easy to get from a home improvement store. The hanging part of the mace would prove to be the biggest challenge. Not only did it have to look accurate and give the illusion of metal, it also had to not weight 100 pounds! I searched but could not find a Pepakura version of the weapon. I ended up building a cardboard “core” that I could build upon with other materials. The final piece ended up using cardboard, wood, paper, fiberglass resin, hot glue, canned spray foam, and spackle (and ended up weighing a decent amount anyways!).

The mace, when viewed from the top, is an 8-sided star. I began with a paper template that I used to cut out 4 cardboard panels. I “notched” them so they would fit around a central wooden dowel rod.

My eventual goal was to “sculpt” the final shape of the mace out of spray foam applied on top of the cardboard armature. I had to get the shape as close as possible using cardboard and paper first, as spray foam expands and is hard to control. I built paper pyramids out of card stock and glued them over the spike tips, and also added smaller cardboard ridges to mark the “valleys” between each spike.

I was happy with the overall shape of the mace, so I coated it in a layer of polyester fiberglass resin (see my earlier post on the Pepakura method). This resin will soak into cardboard and paper and add strength and rigidity. After the resin was fully cured (24 hours) I began adding spray foam. I used “Great Stuff” brand which is an all-purpose spray foam used for insulating and filling gaps. The foam does expand quite a bit, but I planned on using the cardboard edges as guides for carving it down to my intended shape. The intermediate result looked a little funny (‘Stay Puft’ Witch King mace!)

Is there a mace in there?!

The next steps were to scrape and sand down the spray foam to the final shape, coat it in yet another layer of polyester resin, and add a lightweight spackling compound to smooth out the pocked surface. In part 2 of this post I will show how I painted and finished the mace, as well as how I built the handle and spiked chain…

Witch king flail

Well my question is what did the Witch -King use as a weapon , I know that he used a mace but Tolkeion dose'nt describe what kinda of Mace .
I mean there are several kind of maces , for eg :-

In the movies PJ shows the Witch - kIng carrying A Morning Star .
What do you think?
I would also like to know any other weapons from the LOTR that you guys ( and Gals) know about ??

I always imagined the Witch-King to carry a mace without a chain, like this one:

Anyway, there are plenty of LotR weapons. and even more, if you count the Silmarillion/Hobbit ones.

Narsil - Elendil's Sword
Anduril - The name Narsil got after it was reforged.
Aiglos - Spear of Gil-Galad
Sting - Frodo/Bilbo's Sword
Glamdring - Gandalf/Turgon's Sword
(Movie-Only) Hadhafang - Elrond/Arwen's Sword
Gurthang- Turin's Sword
Orcrist - Thorin's Sword

. are the ones I remember from memory. There're probably lots more.

The movie version was definitely a morningstar, such as I've never seen in size and power. Physics on it were merciful in my opinion. I mean, it only broke Eowyn's arm, instead of taking it clean off by sheer mass and momentum. Nothing against Eowyn, but she had it extremely lucky, lol!

They just don't Make Shieldmaidens like that anymore.

The picture that gorthaur posted is about what I imagined. The morningstar in the movie was pretty cool but not really what I pictured. Besides, where would he keep something so ridiculously large!?

Also, I believe the Witchking was described as brandishing a sword which appeared to have flames pouring down its blade.

In addition to its artistic applications, mafic modeling clay also finds practical uses in various fields, such as geology and paleontology. Its durability and ability to hold shape make it suitable for creating models and replicas of geological formations and fossil specimens. This allows researchers and educators to study and present these objects in a more tangible and accessible way. Overall, mafic modeling clay is a versatile and reliable material that offers numerous benefits for artists, sculptors, researchers, and educators.
